CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 25, 2025
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SPEECH TO THE UNITED NATIONS BEGAN WITH PRAISE TO HIMSELF. HE USED THE PERSONAL PRONOUNS – I, ME, AND MY AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. HE WAS ALLOTED FIFTEEN MINUTES. HE TOOK NEARLY AN HOUR.
AFTER GETTING THROUGH ALL THE SELF-PRAISE, TRUMP DELIVERED A SCATHING ATTACK ON THE WORLD BODY THAT INCLUDED THIS QUESTION: “WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE UNITED NATIONS?” WE KNOW WHAT IT’S CHARTER SAYS ABOUT PEACE AND COOPERATION, BUT THOSE GOALS HAVE NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED. THE UN REFLECTS THE SECULAR PROGRESSIVE OUTLOOK, WHICH IS THE DIRECT OPPOSITE OF SCRIPTURE.
JESUS SAID THERE WILL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS UNTIL HE RETURNS. THAT’S BECAUSE OF MAN’S SINFUL NATURE. WHAT ABOUT “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS?” SOME ASK? THAT VERSE IS NOT ABOUT A UNITED NATIONS. AS PAUL WRITES IT’S ABOUT MAKING PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE ANSWER TO CONFLICT.
THE PRESIDENT HAD A LOT MORE TO SAY, INCLUDING THAT UKRAINE CAN WIN THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA AND RE-CLAIM ITS LOST TERRITORY, PROVIDING NATO STEPS UP AND DOES MORE WITH WEAPONS WE WILL SELL THEM.
MEANWHILE, THE UN LIMPS ALONG IN IRRELEVANCE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
