What would Christopher Hitchens say about Donald Trump’s disastrous performance at the United Nations General Assembly? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens unleashes a scathing critique of a speech so absurd it left world leaders in stunned silence.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dismantles Trump’s rambling claims—ending wars that never existed, inventing trillions in investment, and declaring climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” He mocks Trump’s fixation on coal, his fabricated statistics, his bizarre boasts about escalators and teleprompters, and his mafia-style threats to allies and enemies alike.
Hitchens exposes the spectacle for what it was: not diplomacy but delusion, not leadership but farce, and perhaps the clearest demonstration yet of how American exceptionalism has become a parody of itself.
