President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to sidestep the United Nations through his new Board of Peace appears to have inadvertently backfired after major world powers rejected U.S. aspirations for it to have a larger international mandate beyond the Gaza ceasefire and recommitted their support for the over 80-year-old global institution.
The Board of Peace stinks to high heaven but the fact that Trump (not POTUS) is the chairman for life and is the only one who can choose his successor makes it irredeemably broken in my mind.
