Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe did not mince words at the United Nations Thursday about Donald Trump, mocking the US president as the "Giant Gold Goliath."

Addressing the UN General Assembly, where reproaches of other leaders are generally less personal in tone, the 93-year-old veteran leader took Trump to task both on policy and appearance.

"Some of us were," Mugabe said, pausing for emphasis, "embarrassed, if not frightened, by what appeared to be the return of the biblical Giant Gold Goliath."

"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."

Trump stunned longtime UN watchers on Tuesday by threatening from the podium to "totally destroy" North Korea, describing its leader Kim Jong-Un as "Rocket Man."

Mugabe has tense relations with Western nations which have imposed sanctions to press for more democracy in Zimbabwe, where he has ruled for 37 years.

In his UN address, Mugabe voiced particular concern over Trump's plan to withdraw the United States from the Paris accord on climate change.

Mugabe urged cooperation "in order to halt the inexorable march towards the destruction of that upon which our own existence depends."

He never disappoints.

He needs to leave office so sanctions will be relaxed but that's a different topic.

Love him or hate him, but this papa has got the balls.

Well done! strong man of Africa. I love a man that will stand up to his fellow man and tell him d truth eyeball to eyeball.

Anyone who spits right back into “Uncle Scam's” face is automatically my friend. We do not condone or tolerate bullies.

Clinton, Bush & that homosexual bastard - Obama would have invaded Zimbabwe long time ago if she was blessed with Crude Oil - in the guise of restoring democracy.

Mugabe is very smart economically and politically. By redistributing the land of Zimbabwe he has ensured that future generations of black Zimbabweans will actually own their country, and not be slaves to the whites. He knew the western sanctions would hurt his country, but he reckoned it was a sacrifice worth making for the future of his beloved Zimbabwe.

People forget that Mugabe personally fought in the bush for 20 years in the Rhodesian war of independence. He has bullet wounds to prove it. Do you think such a man could be a mere ceremonial president like Mandela? Allowing the whites to own the country while he sat in the state house as 'first black president'? He didn't have time for that shiit. For him, Zimbabwean independence had to mean true independence, not paper independence. He's an African hero, and I'm not surprised he said what he said to Trump, because he's fearless.

May God or whatever you believe in bless you for what you wrote up there. Mr Mugabe was the friend of the West when he danced to their tune but immediately he decided to favor 'TRUE' Zimbabweans they turned around to called him demon. In the process, through their useless sanctions destroyed their economy.

You will see what will happen to South Africa the day they wake up from their sleep.

Most African leaders are useless esp the ones we've been having in Nigeria. I respect Mr Mugabe; we need more of him to free us from self-imposed slavery
