It is truly astonishing how the US media simply does not get it. A little time has passed but no where do i see any serious support been drummed up for any of this. instead i continue to see the ongoing slander party. It is horrid.
Trump has laid out a whole new US foreign policy agenda that will now rule for decades. It is not isolationist and it will measure countries in terms of their people's happiness. The rogues will be taken down and we only have a handful of those. The military cost is dropping continuously as well.
I see huge optimism now in Afghanistan and the US media has not noticed at all. Think about that alone. The rest is easy..

NEW YORK—President Donald Trump laid out his vision for the world in his first speech to the United Nations.
Central to his vision are strong nation-states that take care of their citizens while respecting other nations.
“I will always put America first. Just like you, as the leaders of
your countries, will always and should always put your countries first,”
Trump said in the speech before the 72nd U.N. General Assembly in New
York on Sept. 19.
Trump said that a world full of proud independent nations is the way
for a future of “dignity and peace for the people of this wonderful
earth.”
“The whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent, and free,” he said.
These strong nations would not just coexist, but actively work together based on the principle of mutual respect.
Pointing to the origins of the U.N., which came into existence soon
after the end of World War II, Trump said the initial idea was that
diverse nations could cooperate together to protect their sovereignty,
security, and promote prosperity.
“We do not expect diverse countries to share the same cultures,
traditions, or even the same systems of government,” Trump said. “But we
do expect all nations to uphold these two core sovereign duties: to
respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other
sovereign nation.”
He pointed to the Marshall Plan, in which the United States provided
help to postwar Europe without imposing its way of life on the countries
there. Instead, Trump said, the United States helped Europe to recover
and to create institutions, such as the U.N., that would help to
guarantee world peace.
Opportunity and Inspiration
Talking about the recent successes in America—a stock market that’s
at an all-time high and the “lowest unemployment rate in 16 years”—Trump
sought to hold up America as an example of the importance of the
nation-state.
Trump ran his presidential campaign on a platform of “America first.”
“We meet at a time of both immense promise and great peril,” Trump
told members of the U.N., saying it was up to world leaders to “lift the
world to new heights, or let it fall into a valley of disrepair.”
He said that the United States does not seek to impose its way of life on other nations, but rather to become a shining example.
Pointing to the Constitution as a timeless document that has for
centuries been the source of peace and prosperity for Americans, he said
generations of Americans have sacrificed themselves for the first three
words: “We the people.”
“In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign,” Trump said.
Trump’s call for strong nation-states was in sharp contrast to President Barack Obama’s speech in 2016, in which he called for further global integration.
Working Together
In his speech, Trump expressed his hopes to work closely together with other nations for a safer world.
He also called out rogue regimes, such as North Korea and Iran, and communist dictatorships, such as Cuba, for their depraved ideologies.
“From the Soviet Union to Cuba, to Venezuela, wherever true socialism
or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation
and failure,” he said.
Trump said he had been honored to speak in Saudi Arabia in
May to over 50 Arab nations, and to cooperate with them in the fight
against terrorism.

He said the world could not allow “radical Islamic terrorism” to rip the world apart.
“We must drive them out of our nation,” Trump said, adding that those who finance terror groups should be held accountable.
“America’s devotion is measured on the battlefields,” Trump said,
“from the beaches of Europe, to the deserts of the Middle East, to the
jungles in Asia.”
He said it was imperative for the world’s nations to uphold the respect for their borders and to respect the law.
Learning From the Past
Trump extolled the virtues of patriotism in his speech by pointing to
past examples of heroism by those who fought against evil for their
countries.
“Patriotism led the Poles to die to save Poland, the French to fight
for a free France, and the Brits to stand strong for Britain,” he said.
Trump said the true question for the U.N. as well as the people of the world is, “Are we still patriots?”
“Do we love our nations enough to preserve their interests? … History is asking whether we are up to the task,” he said.
He referenced American patriot John Adams, who said that the American
Revolution was in the minds of the people long before the war was
fought.
“What do we mean by the revolution?” Adams wrote in a letter
to Thomas Jefferson on Aug. 24, 1815. “The war? That was no part of the
revolution. It was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution
was in the minds of the people.”
Trump said it was time for the world to “defeat the enemies of
humanity and unlock the potential of life itself,” calling for “a great
reawakening of nations” and for a revival of their spirit and
patriotism.
In finishing his speech, Trump thanked God and asked for God’s
blessings on “the nations of the world,” as well as on the United
States.
