Mugabe Knocks Trump At UNGA, Calls Him ‘Giant Gold Goliath’ [VIDEO]

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, at the ongoing 72 UN General Assembly, did not hesitate to hit at President Donald Trump for threatening to “totally destroy” North Korea.

Describing Trump as the “Giant Gold Goliath” on Thursday, Mugabe criticised Tuesday’s verbal war against other nations by the United States President.

“Some of us were embarrassed, if not frightened, by what appeared to be the return of the biblical Giant Gold Goliath,” 93-year-old Mugabe told world leaders at the UNGA, referring to Trump.

“Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries?” he asked, triggering applause in the hall as two junior US diplomats listened expressionless.

“And may I say to the United States president, Mr. Trump, please blow your trumpet — blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness, dialogue, which we have always stood for and which are well-writ in our very sacred document, the Charter of the United Nations,” he said.

Speaking on Trump’s planned withdrawal of the U.S from the Paris accord on climate change, Mugabe called for cooperation “in order to halt the inexorable march towards the destruction of that upon which our own existence depends.”
