NEW YORK — President Trump called on the United Nations to enact reforms to the world body, pledging Monday in his debut here at the annual General Assembly meetings that he and his administration will be “partners in your work.”
Speaking at the opening session of the four-day conference, Trump said the organization founded in 1945 has “not reached its full potential” in recent years because of a bloated bureaucracy and “mismanagement.”
“We encourage all member states to look at ways to take bold stands at the United Nations with an eye toward changing business as usual and not being beholden to ways of the past which were not working,” Trump said, flanked by U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary General António Guterres.
Trump had spoken dismissively of multilateral institutions, including the U.N. and NATO, during his campaign, promoting an “America first” agenda aimed at reducing the United States's interventionism abroad in favor of domestic priorities. Speaking briefly with reporters, Trump riffed off of his campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. Trump said his main message is: "Make the United Nations great. Not again. Make the United Nations great. Such tremendous potential, and I think we'll be able to do this."

but this catastrophically ignorant, Russian tool is the last person to understand or propose them.
My first thought was that he isn't impressed because it isn't a successful "money making" business. This ill-informed ignoramus is hopeless. I realize we all know that, but doesn't he have one decent advisor?
