57. Fortunately, the coverage is nowhere near as sanitized as that.

I missed the whole thing, so I went googling to find out more about it. Here are some of the headlines that came up I searched "trump un." (I did not take the time to copy and paste links, but you can probably find any of these by googling the headlines, or just google "trump un" like I did to get a sampling.)

CNN: Trump takes shots at UN, climate change and immigration policies in speech

NYT: Trump Attacks U.N. and Lectures Nations in General Assembly Speech: Live

WaPo: Trump says United Nations is not living up to its potential as he addresses organization

NBC News: Trump slams migration, green energy and failures to end wars in U.N. remarks

NY Post: Prez attacks UN leaders to their faces in speech, warns ‘your countries are going to hell’

MSBBC: With bizarre remarks at the U.N., Trump embarrasses himself and the United States

While I'm sure the coverage could be more hard hitting, and some news outlets are doing a better job than others, most of the majors don't seem to be pretending this was a "normal" speech or saying nice things about it.
