Seated delegates from Iran and Cuba staged a walkout during President Trump’s fiery United Nations speech when the commander-in-chief threatened to take down their regimes.
Iranians started to get up and leave when Trump talked tough about the terrorist regime, telling the world he was deciding whether to “annihilate the Islamic Republic ” or to “drive them into hell.”
During the Cuba section of the president’s 38-minute address, Trump called the communist country an “absolutely failed state” and said the government “will fall.”
