"Such is the gravitational pull cast by Donald Trump and the US economy that
the politics of the other 192 countries that make up the United Nations are
rapidly being reduced to one long discussion about how to relate to and
challenge this ever darker and weirder presidency.
Before Trump’s extraordinary 58-minute speech on the supposed threats posed by
open borders, sharia law, the UN’s failings and the “climate hoax”, the
supporters of the UN’s values already knew they faced a challenge. Now they
realise the degree to which the world’s superpower seems bent on the
destruction of everything they believe.
Immediately after the shocked, and even embarrassed, UN delegates had recovered
from Trump’s performance, the general assembly was addressed by leaders of two
large Muslim states, the Indonesian president, Prabowo Subianto, and the
Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Subianto was strongly applauded when
he asserted: “Might cannot be right; right must be right. No one country can
bully the whole of the human family. We may be weak individually, but the sense
of oppression and injustice will unite us into a strong force that will
overcome this injustice.” Erdoğan insisted that the Israeli prime minister,
Benjamin Netanyahu, was completely out of control, and those that were silent
in the face of his barbarity were complicit."
