The orange embarrassment strikes again. He notably did not mention Russia's known attack on elections, although he later attacked Russia for Syria....

President Donald Trump on Wednesday opened his United Nations Security Council speech by taking a shot at China, claiming, without providing evidence, that it's trying to meddle in the upcoming midterm elections.
"Regrettably we found that China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming 2018 election, coming up in November," Trump said.
He went on, "They do not want me or us to win because I am the first president ever to challenge China on trade and we are winning on trade. We are winning on every level. We don't want them to meddle or interfere in our upcoming elections."
Trump's comment on election interference was somewhat surprising given that the Security Council tends to focus on nuclear proliferation.
