President Trump claimed Tuesday that comments he made at the United Nations General Assembly were "meant to get some laughter."

The audience burst into laughter when Trump boasted about his presidential achievements.

After the laughter died down, Trump noted that he "didn't expect that reaction, but that's OK."
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) took the opportunity to poke fun at Trump by resurfacing an old tweet where the president had criticized then President Barack Obama for being "a laughing stock."

(23,123 posts)He truly thought they would applaud, he's so stupid, he doesn't know the difference between independent world leaders and his stupid minions and paid actors at his rallies. But as always, if his orange assmouth is moving, he's lying.

(3,666 posts)on that side of the isle that tells him the truth. They are fired if they do. He believes his bs, because they all bow and scrape and tell him what he wants to hear. It makes him a laughing stock and he's too dumb to know it.

(23,123 posts)He knew they were laughing at his lies and shrugged it off because he truly didn't care. He only cares about what PUtin thinks and then makes sure to do whatever it is that will please his master.

(10,909 posts)Delivering his address to the annual gathering of UN heads of state, Trump began in the hyperbolic style of a domestic campaign as he boasted of his record.
"In less than two years, my administration has achieved more than any administration in the history of our country," Trump boasted,
As assembled global dignitaries started to chuckle, Trump interrupted his prepared remarks and insisted, "So true."
With the laughter audible, Trump smiled and said, "I didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay."
Anyway, the "so true" first reaction doesn't sound like someone trying to elicit laughter.

(23,123 posts)He said it for applause, the "so true" was the exclamation point at the end of the sentence showing it was important. The line about it was planned for laughs is another of the thousands of lies he's told, he certainly didn't sound happy, sounded more surprised than anything. He's so stupid, he thought world leaders would applaud him the way his rally goers do and he knows he's paid over 1000 people to yell and scream with approval every time he says anything. What a freaking moronic cum stain.
