The Duce at the UN had red meat for everybody on the right

Bozo at the UN made a frankly shocking display of, well, himself.

He denounced, to a completely stony-faced audience, the global phenomenon of uncontrolled mass migration as a terrible injustice by the feckless nations from which people flee against the nations to which they migrate.

The nations from which they flee get to escape the need for economic and political reforms at the cost of losing their own greatest resource, their people, while the poorest folks living in the nations to which they flee - where those same fleeing masses, evidently, are not a great resource - suffer, he says, economically and otherwise from the illegal and overwhelming tide.

He reprised the Buchananite, anti-multi-nationalist, anti-globalist themes of his campaign, castigating the UN for its unfair costs to the US and its overall failures, and calling for an emerging world of prosperous, sovereign, and independent nations, spontaneously committed every one to justice, cooperation, and peace.

He sounded like a bellicose, churlish, and rather stupid man, a mini-Mussolini, embracing Wilson's ethno-nationalist vision without the League, apparently rendered miraculously unnecessary by the nations' love of peace.

A vision immediately belied by his own allusions to the situations in Korea, Iran, and Venezuela.

As for Korea, he announced that "Rocket Man" is "on a suicide mission for himself and his regime", warning emphatically that if NK forces the US to defend itself or its allies NK will be "totally destroyed".

Channeling Zionist right wing globalists who oppose the Islamic Republic - which he characterized as a corrupt and murderous dictatorship whose principal exports are violence, blood, and chaos - with all their hearts, he deplored the Iran deal vigorously, strongly hinting but not actually announcing it would be repudiated.

And he castigated Maduro's "socialist dictatorship" that is wrecking that leader's country, stating firmly that "the problem is that socialism has been faithfully implemented in Venezuela" and announcing pretty clearly that the US will be doing something or other to end that regime.

That the incompetent and absurd regime of the Bolivarians has faithfully implemented socialism in Venezuela is an accusation it will be tough to deflect for a left wing noise machine that has been playing along with MSNBC, Bernie, and the right wing bumper-sticker industry in watering down the idea of socialism.

In truth, they have done this to so great an extent that it could with equal justice be said that socialism has been faithfully implemented in the United States because we have public schools and highways.

And almost that Ronald Reagan was right to claim the adoption of Medicare was the triumph of Communism in America.

Though socialism is not going quite so badly, here, of course, as it is in Venezuela - a fact which may to some minds suggest that perhaps the problem in Venezuela isn't socialism, at all.

On the whole, a disturbing and reckless performance.
