"They weren't laughing at me. They were laughing with me," President Trump responded in part.
He has always been afraid people are laughing at him. We are my dude, we are.

(297,285 posts)But while the truism that America is governed by Americans and the rejection of what he called globalism may win him points at a campaign rally in Kansas, it doesn't with the global leaders gathered in Manhattan. The same goes for his bragging, and factually inaccurate opening line that his administration had accomplished more than any other in US history. At the UN General Assembly it was rightfully met with a mixture of incredulous and embarrassed laughter. That was also the reaction of the German delegation after Trump called out Berlin by claiming that Germany would become completely dependent on Russian energy if it did not reverse course on a controversial gas pipeline.

Trump's boasting prompts laughter
As many in the audience erupted in laughter, Trump added, So true, with a smile before digressing from his script to note: Didnt expect that reaction,
but thats OK.

Of course, Fraud "didn't expect that reaction".. he's a fucking moron.
And while reporters and foreign policy experts could not recall another leader ever before drawing derisive laughter at a UN speech, it did not end there. When Trump made another claim Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy the cameras revealed the German delegation laughing and snickering to one another.
With Trumps own behavior and policies as a backdrop, the substance of Trumps speech merited laughter it was an incomprehensible joke
