Nikki Haley: United Nations Laughter Not A Diss But A Sign Of Respect For Trump’s ‘Honesty’
World leaders were “falling over themselves to get a picture with him,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Wednesday claimed President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly a day earlier drew laughs because world leaders “loved his honesty” and “respect” him.

Trump’s 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??

Let's see Morning Joe defend her tomorrow. We'll find out if he's still a Republican or not.

Hint. He is.

They'll tell one without blinking, never giving it a second thought. 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.

Everything out of their mouths is to support some self-aggrandizing agenda or for purposes of self-preservation.

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.
