I am not going to waste my time reading it.
Many critics mention he went OFF topic quite a bit, as if he was on Truth Social. Talking about himself.

You really should read at least parts of that 'speech'...
Although it may well make an American a bit embarrassed by our 'leadership'...

Think of what we would be talking about if Mr. Trump was not president right now. . . .either a fall injury or a deeply embarrassing speech attempt, TelPrompter working or not.
President Trump was able to speak from his heart for around an hour on a wide range of topics, taking positions I voted for.

Lookee here - the WSJ was able to say a few positive things about the speech:
Trump Unplugged at Turtle Bay
He tells the U.N. the truth about its growing irrelevance.

President Trump breaks political conventions almost daily, for better or worse. But sometimes his candor has the advantage of speaking truths that no one else dares to recognize. And so he did Tuesday in New York when he told the United Nations General Assembly that it is increasingly irrelevant.
“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” Mr. Trump asked. “I’ve always said [the U.N.] has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential.” Right.
Peacekeepers? “Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, too often it is actually creating new problems for us to solve,” Mr. Trump said. Right again.
Mr. Trump didn’t say this but we will. Ukraine war? The U.N. has been hapless. Gaza? It’s mostly emboldened Hamas to refuse to compromise. China’s expansions in the South China Sea? Useless.
Mr. Trump also dared to violate the holiest of U.N. holies by casting doubt on its preoccupation with climate change. The “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” Mr. Trump said. That arguably goes too far, since global temperatures have climbed. But he’s surely right if he means that the trillions of dollars spent to stop the rise in temperature have accomplished nothing other than encourage political rent-seeking.
Mr. Trump also focused on his signature issue of controlling migration. He said the U.N. is “funding an assault on Western countries” by encouraging cross-border migration. In 2024, he said, the U.N. budgeted $372 million to help more than 600,000 migrants illegally coming into the U.S. “The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” he said. We think the U.S. needs more foreign talent to stay prosperous, but European leaders in particular would be better off had they heeded their voters’ anxiety about mass migration.
Mr. Trump isn’t so much rejecting the U.N. as noting the way it has become an obstacle to the peace, prosperity and universal human rights it claims to promote.
In 2017 the U.N. delegates laughed at Mr. Trump’s General Assembly remarks, but not this time. If they were honest with themselves, at least some of them would admit that he has the place nailed.
