NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump during his address to the United Nations General Assembly bragged about his Presidency causing the whole hall to fall into fits of laughter.
Trump in his speech made a bold statement;
“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished almost more than any other administration in the history of our country.”
This did not go down well with the attendees as many could be heard laughing over the absurdity of the statement.
Hearing the response Trump added ‘It’s so true…” which still didn’t get him the desired validation.
Unamused by the lack of positive response Trump commented “didn’t expect that reaction but that’s okay’. Unfortunately, this only prompted further giggles.

Undeterred by the incredulous laughter, President Trump proceeded to describe the US as being ‘stronger, safer and richer country than when I took office’.
Obviously, Twitterati had a lot to say on this particular statement;
JUST IN: Trump opens UN speech saying, “In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country” to which then entire UN general assembly LAUGHS OUT LOUD at the president of the United States.

Feel like the UN audience is on to something by laughing at Trump – he was clearly embarassed. Maybe we should all just laugh every time he speaks? Reporters, audience members, everyone. Start a cackling wave & shame him into resignation. Thoughts?

Trump was asked about world leaders laughing at him at the UN. He calls it “fake news” even though we all…erm…saw them and heard them laugh. As did Trump himself.
He is either demented or a brazen liar. There is no third option.

My question to President Trump: Why did people laugh at you at the UN and what was that experience like?
