In a 55-minute speech on Tuesday that defied the very mission of the United Nations itself, US President Donald Trump called global warming "a con job", European policies on clean energy "suicidal", and accused the UN of offering little more than "empty words".

The remarks were Trump's first of his second term in office, and much of it focused on brandishing his domestic achievements and deriding the UN and other countries' policies on immigration, peacemaking, climate change and multilateralism.

The president said his country was now in a "golden age", and imparted lessons to "the free world": close your borders, and return to traditional energy sources. "Your countries are going to hell," he said.

_"Your countries are going to Hell!" he shouts as Satan slowly shifts the strings attached to his mouth, making him say such utter rubbish. Satan silently snickers to himself as to not let the others in the room be aware of his presence, for he knows his control would fade if everyone knew who, or what, his puppet was.

"Close your borders! Only traditional energy sources are usable! America is in a golden age of free world!" The more he spoke, the more the truly righteous would be able to see the strings attached to his puppet. To counter this fate, he turned the "truly" righteous into mortal demons willing to defend his antichrist puppet._

Given this short amount of snippet you provided, I felt I did a good enough job on a short story snippet based on what happened... though now that I reread it, I question my writing skill.

He's actually not wrong, but for other reasons than he stated. Namely, the regression into far right politics.

Hm I guess Stephen Miller was the last person who talked to him
