Trump (US) vs Jacinda Ardern (NZ) at UN general assembly speeches (video)

NZ PM Jacinda Ardern at UN with husband and baby
Jacinda Arden, New Zealand's new Labour prime minister, has given a powerful speech at the United Nations general assembly the other day.

The full video is below, but the first one is interesting also. It shows the contrast between Trump and her. 

Trump rejects globalism whilst embracing the "doctrine of patriotism" (scary words there). Ardern speaks of kindness and a global community where we care about each other. 

The contrast between the two is stark.

Ardern BTW bought her young baby into the chamber who was being looked after by husband when she was giving her speech. Baby had her own ID pass with "first baby" written on it :)
