Abstract

On 19 September 2017, president of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, took the podium at the New York-based institution of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). In his speech, Trump provided global leaders and diplomats with a radically different angle to view world politics, creating a divide between the “righteous many” and “wicked few.” He deters away from the mainstream issues of climate change to more realistically humanitarian concerns, where nation-states are currently being impacted and threatened by international or domestic terror.
