'America is governed by Americans’: Trump defends US sovereignty at UN
washingtonexaminer ^ | 9/25/2018 | Steven Nelson

President Trump criticized the United Nations in a speech to the General Assembly Tuesday, telling world leaders the U.N. Human Rights Council is "a grave embarrassment" and that the U.N.-linked International Criminal Court "has no jurisdiction."....."We will never surrender America's sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy," Trump said

"The United States will provide no support and recognition to the International Criminal Court," Trump said. "As far as America is concerned, the ICC has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. The ICC claims near-universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all principles of justice, fairness, and due process."....

...."America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism around the world," he said. "Responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty."

Trump said "we will not return" to the organization — led in part by some of the world's most despotic countries — until it is reformed.

"I spoke before this body last year and warned that the U.N. Human Rights Council had become a grave embarrassment to this institution, shielding egregious human rights abuses while bashing America and its many friends," Trump said. "Our ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, laid out a clear agenda for reform, despite repeated warnings. No action at all was taken. The United States took the only responsible course. We withdrew from the Human Rights Council, and we will not return until real reform is enacted."

“We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy,” Trump said

Probably considered racist to not allow the world’s other people’s to govern you.

It sure is great having a real American in the White House for a change. The last real American left the White House in 1989. Damn that has been a long time.

It’s great to have an American in charge rather than a Gaia worshiping global socialist.
