So Molly, today we had a crazy, crazy Trump UN speech and, uh, had a lot of walkouts.
So today was the UN, and Donald Trump got up there, and he did exactly the thing you thought he would.
He started by bragging about looting Venezuela and threatened that Cuba may be next.
Last month, we signed the largest oil deal in history, covering sixty-five billion barrels of oil, which will benefit both Venezuela and the United States enormously and help drive down the cost of energy all over the world.
We know that the Venezuelan oil needs to be refined differently than some other oils.
President Trump's campaign-style speech at the UN on Tuesday was met with cheers.
Both the Cubans and the Iranian delegations walked out when he said he was gonna take their countries over because that's what you do when you're being threatened by a crazy oligarch.
The beginning of Trump's speech was met with awkward silences as he was waiting for, you guessed it, applause.
He said things like, "America is back and stronger than ever before." We are not, in case you're wondering.
Later in the speech, the Iranians left, and Trump asked the audience if he should annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly and drive them into hell with no chance of survival.
After that, the Cuban delegation, they left too, and that was maybe because Donald Trump called Cuba an absolutely failed state.
