Trump UN speech: Delivery 'particularly low-energy'
CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta panned President Trump's speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, calling Trump's delivery "particularly low-energy." Acosta also questioned whether the rising impeachment calls from Democrats over Trump's communications with Ukraine might have played a role in his performance.
"I thought the President seemed rather flat," Acosta said in an appearance in his network following the president's remarks. "Not to get too caught up in his performance, but you have to wonder whether or not this Ukraine issue is just hanging over everything like a wet blanket for this president. He is still trying to rally his base, to keep them at home as things are unravelling all around him ... "
During the 37-minute address at the UN, Trump urged those in attendance to put their countries first in equating freedom with pride in one's country.
“The truth is plain to see — if you want freedom, take pride in your country. If you want democracy, hold onto your sovereignty, and if you want peace, love your nation,” Trump said at United Nations headquarters in New York City.
