No one recalls ever seeing the United Nation General Assembly laughing out loud at the President.

1. Well, everyone laughs at jokes.

And he's a giant cosmic joke.

[TheBlackAdder]

2. This didn't age well. I guess he'll go back to the White House and threaten to defund the UN again.

We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!

3. Former presidents have always enjoyed widespread support from UN members

when we stood up for things like human rights,refugees, education, democracy, empowering women, and cooperation, the applause was enthusiastic. Now the US only touts is bragging about America first, and to hell with the rest of you!

[TeamPooka]

14. They saw who he really was with Charlottesville. They know.

[eppur_se_muova]

4. Well, that makes it a special memory for the present generation.

Sort of like listening to your grandparents talk about the first time they ever saw an airplane.

When he says, "America's so true" I would change that punctiation to: "America's...so true!" He was saying the next sentence and then had to inject "so true" to respond to the laughter. It's like when he says, "believe me!".

[TeamPooka]

15. that is a correct reading of the verbal moment. He had to interject upon himself.

[klook]

25. Sorta like "standard sailors...and also stranded sailors."

What a maroon!

[blugbox]

30. Human struggling....

As well as human smuggling.

[klook]

31. LOL! The combination of idiocy and hubris is simultaneously hilarious and

terrifying.

[blugbox]

34. You have to laugh

To keep from crying.

We got some song lyrics in the making...

[Racerdog1]

6. Orange ass clown

Fucking disgrace to humanity.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. tRump is the type of president the UN is in place to guard AGAINST.

He's a tremendous disservice to our nation by destroying our relationships and alliances around the world.

[0rganism]

8. behold our Magnificent Greatness!

[dalton99a]

9. "It was a very historic speech. I set another world record"

That I can tell you

[Jarqui]

10. the whole world is laughing at him

[Mr.Bill]

12. I remember the chant "The whole world is watching"

from the protests at the '68 Democratic convention.

We can now update that to "The whole world is laughing".

[BumRushDaShow]

11. These diplomats and world leaders are highly educated and accustomed to sarcasm and irony

2 types of literary discourse that I expect some thought the remarks were utilizing. However he was not being sarcastic, which is what makes this all the more insulting to this nation.

[murielm99]

13. I thought it would devolve into an unintentional

comedy routine.

Dark humor. People laughing at him, not with him.



He is an international joke and a disgrace.

[leanforward]

16. Just what I've said before, he needs to resign from office.

This is just one more time where he diminishes our country with his actions/verbiage.

He simply can not do the job. This speech at UN makes me think it's comparable to Kavanaugh on faux last night.

[Fritz Walter]

17. Conspicuously absent today

Vladimir Putin.

His plan to reduce the USA’s stature is working so amazingly well that he didn’t need to be there. Instead, he’s occupied with the details of the next stage of his scheme: reclaiming Ukraine or the Baltic States. Or both. Decisions, decisions!

[Politicub]

18. Another superlative for the sleazy mushroom to tout

“No president has been laughed at more than me. Believe me.”

[ffr]

19. America needs a slap in the face like this to see how far we've strayed from dignity.

[Blue_true]

20. I doubt it.

Most Americans are clear headed on that fool. The problems are his base and the purist far left.

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. This is like something out of a movie!

Wag The Dog or something. Unfuckingbelievable.

Hilarious, though...if one can appreciate that kind of humour. Rather like a galley slave rowing a sinking trireme laughing at the drummer missing a beat.

[ThoughtCriminal]

22. Were the Russians also laughing?

Even if they didn't, you know they wanted to - harder than anybody.

[proglib217]

23. I'd love to see UN diplomats chant "Come back when you have a real president"

Of course, being diplomats (and not being our poor excuse for a president), they won't. But I sure would love to see it.

(I can guarantee you they're *thinking* it.)

[LAS14]

24. A priceless moment!!! nt

[UpInArms]

26. Reminds me of a song ...

🎵I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me🎵

[Cha]

27. Damn Straight it did.. to the one who tweeted this in 2014

[treestar]

28. His handlers did a poor job

a UN speech should not be a campaign event - something for him to read should have been on a teleprompter. That was no place to tout his alleged accomplishments.

[Different Drummer]

29. In Dolt a L'Orange's world, anywhere is the perfect place to tout his alleged accomplishments. n/t

[DFW]

32. Someone forgot to tell Trump

This audience was NOT made up of ignorant, uneducated midwestern and southern "Christians," who will believe any lie if it comes out the appropriate mouth or Fox "News."

This audience was made up of senior diplomats from around the world who, with the exception of Nikki Haley, lie, and are lied to all the time. They all know it, they all know how to do it, and they sure as hell recognize it when an amateur tries it and thinks he's fooling somebody. THAT's why they were laughing.

[malaise]

33. Not at any President or leader from any country

But Don the Con loves firsts.
