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 comment ridiculous ― but because it was so honest, Haley said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
Wha??? How can anyone laugh out of respect ? That doesn't even make sense..
I can understand :
Crying with joy
Laugh because you are nervous
Smile when you are sad
But what the fuck is this?? Laugh at a ridiculous boast because you respect??

Hint. He is.

I'm not entirely convinced that new recruits aren't placed in front of a mirror,body hooked up to electrodes, where they then repeat lies until they can do so with a straight face. Shocks delivered on a scale from mild to severe until they get it right.

(282 posts)If the UN members respected Trump and loved what he said so much that they couldn't refrain themselves they would have applauded him.
It sounds exactly like what SHS would have said to the media.
