Overview

• During Wednesday’s broadcast, Sunny Hostin clarified that the 25th Amendment addresses questions of a president’s competence after Goldberg hesitated over the amendment number.
• Co-hosts called President Trump’s United Nations address “not presidential,” “an embarrassment,” and “a train wreck,” describing concern about how global audiences perceived the remarks.
• Hostin accused Trump of falsely claiming to have ended seven wars to bolster a bid for a Nobel Peace Prize and cited a Washington Post/Ipsos finding that, she said, shows 76% of Americans believe he does not deserve the award.
• The panel’s critique followed Trump’s first UNGA speech since 2020, in which he derided climate change as “the greatest con job ever” and joked about an escalator and teleprompter malfunction.
• A UN spokesperson later said a U.S. videographer may have triggered the escalator’s safety stop and noted the White House ran the teleprompter, after Trump alleged the glitches were intentional.
