"So It's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn’t be here. You should not be here covering me. You said you weren’t going to cover me. You shouldn’t be covering me. But I will tell you, it is an honor to be in the United Nations. And we're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much."

3. TRUMP AND MELANIA RIDING THE ESCALATOR

Trump used his U.N. General Assembly speech on Tuesday (September 22) to argue that the war with Iran prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and warn that he could "annihilate the Islamic Republic" if no deal is reached to end the conflict. While predicting his administration would strike a peace deal with Iran following the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, Trump called on other nations to join in isolating Iran economically to force it to the negotiating table.

“But I have a big decision to make - will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? [CUTAWAY OF IRANIAN DELEGATE] Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election."

“I call on all nations to join us in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions, and cease their support of terror. The terrorist regime [ZOOM IN ON IRANIAN DELEGATE] is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate. If we stand united, we will soon see a world free of the last 51-year menace of Iranian terror, and oil prices will come plummeting down even lower than they were.”

10. TRUMP SPEAKING

"Super intelligence. Every major new technology brings challenges, and super intelligence is no exception. Yet the very same people who said we'll all be dead in 12 years because of global warming— a name since reborn to climate change because the planet was cooling, not warming, and nobody was dead. These are the same people that are now saying that AI is going to kill us all, that robots are going to attack us, and that everything is going to be a total disaster. Same group of people."

"Whoever wins AI, you have to remember this. And now I say whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligence, wins; that's the group that wins and we're leading now over China by a lot and everyone else. And we're going to keep it that way; we're going to keep it very, very straight and very strong. I'm not going to stifle the growth of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution. Many say bigger than the Industrial Revolution or the Internet itself."

14. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, SAYING:

(SOUNDBITE RUNS OVER SHOTS OF TRUMP)

"But we will only encourage super intelligence. We're going to encourage it, not rein it in. We're going to watch it closely through the Department of Justice. The United States leads the world in super intelligence and will continue to do so safely and responsibly."

16. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, SAYING:

"The United States is equally opposed to the out-of-control institution known as the International Criminal Court. We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us. They're an evil group of people. I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately."

(SOUNDBITE RUNS OVER SHOTS OF TRUMP AND ASSEMBLY)

"My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure. The biggest pressure they've ever been under. It's an absolutely failed state. It's failing like never before, and it will fall. Marco Rubio is handling a negotiation. He's deep into negotiations with Cuba. Let's see what happens. [SOUNDBITE CONTINUES OVER SHOT OF CUBAN DELEGATION WALKING OUT] We will not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep, right at our doorstep. The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left wing radicals and communist networks here in the United States. As our State Department has detailed, they've cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa and the Democrat Socialists of America. Communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba."

But, certainly they are very good fighters. You know, they can be proud of themselves. Regardless, we'll see what happens. But very, very capable people, with very capable leadership.”

31. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SAYING:

"It's to their advantage to make a deal. If we can do that, it's preferable, I guess. You know, there's two alternatives and you heard them in my speech today. One is a very bad thing. And another, it could lead to greatness for the country. So I would think they'd want to do that."

32. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING:

REPORTER (OFF-CAMERA): ''How does the deal look with the Belorussian President over potash? And if that goes through, are you concerned that the money for that deal would strengthen Russia's hand at all in the war with Ukraine?''

TRUMP: ''No, no, no. But they, Belarus has a lot of potash and our farmers need good prices. And we want to get a lower price than Canada and we'll continue to go with Canada. But Belarus would like to sell it for a much lower price.''
