I am signed up to huckpack, a newsletter from Mike Huckabee. This is his thoughts about the speech. I tend to agree on all points.

Friend,
You really should see President Trump’s entire speech to the UN, but if you just have time for a taste, check out this passage on North Korea. Not since Ronald Reagan gave both liberals and his own weak-kneed staffers the vapors by accurately calling the USSR an “evil empire” has anyone looked so many pussyfooting toadies in the eye and slapped them with the hard truths they’ve spent their entire careers avoiding admitting or confronting (another example: Trump told the stunned leftist crowd that “the problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.”)
At this late date, when Kim Jong Un is threatening the world with the missiles he’s not supposed to have and nukes he wasn’t supposed to build under the “expert” smart diplomacy of the UN expense account crowd, and he’s reacting to their idea of more sanctions by threatening even worse aggression, it was high time someone delivered a big, steaming plate of reality to the UN.
Most of the ineffective diplomatic class didn’t like what was on the menu, and the arrogant liberal media outlets reacted as if someone had put deer jerky in their vegan kale salads. But their way of doing things has only led to a madman growing more powerful until he’s pointing nuclear missiles at the world.
It’s time for them to face reality and shake off their decades-long fantasies, whether it’s their failed scripts for dealing with aggressive dictators or their cherished delusion that they’re always the smartest people in the room.
Sincerely,
Mike Huckabee
