Nikki Haley: United Nations Laughter Not A Diss But A Sign Of Respect For Trumps Honesty
World leaders were falling over themselves to get a picture with him, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said.
By Hayley Miller
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Wednesday claimed President Donald Trumps speech at the United Nations General Assembly a day earlier drew laughs because world leaders loved his honesty and respect him.
Trumps boastful comment describing his administration as one of the most accomplished in U.S. history sparked laughter not because attendees of the annual summit found the remark ridiculous ― but because it was so honest, Haley said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
They loved how honest he is, Haley said. Its not diplomatic and they find it funny. ... When he goes and he is very truthful, they kind of were taken back by it.
She continued: All day yesterday, they were falling over themselves to get a picture with him, to talk about how great his speech was. ... They love that hes honest with them and theyve never seen anything like it, so theres respect there. I saw that the media was trying to make it something disrespectful. Thats not what it was ― they love to be with him.

What probably happened is that after the laughing incident he instructed Haley to get out there and make sure the world knew that the laughter was not derisive but appreciative. And she knew she had to do it to keep her job.

Who among us suspected that America wasn't being great because we weren't looking for handouts from other countries?

'Laughter is a sign of respect for honesty'?
what does that even mean?

doesn't realize that's why they wanted a photo w/him.
