Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Trump’s Boasts Draw Laughter at United Nations General Assembly

HeadlineSep 26, 2018

President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, praising his administration’s “America First” policies, assailing the International Criminal Court, accusing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of corruption and announcing new sanctions against Maduro’s inner circle, and accusing Iran of sowing “chaos, death, and destruction.” Many of the world leaders and dignitaries in the General Assembly erupted in laughter when Trump boasted about his accomplishments as U.S. president.

President Donald Trump: “In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. [laughter] America’s—so true. Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”
