1. Trump's UN adventure
Donald Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea in a bellicose first address to the UN general assembly. Referring to Kim Jong-un, he said: “Rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.”
'We will have no choice'
The US has great strength and patience… If it is forced to defend ourselves or our allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.

2. Trump warns Iran, too
Trump also called the Iran nuclear deal “an embarrassment to the United States” and said, “I don’t think you’ve have heard the last of it.” The speech was received with stony silence and some hushed expressions of shock and objection.
The neverending campaign
This is starting to feel like a Trump rally speech. He's airing a long list of grievances against those he feels have wronged him
