So, Donwald got some laughs at the UN, eh?

And he didn't even wear his rubber nose, extra long shoes, wig, or anything. It all proves one thing: when he's no longer President, he can try stand-up and see how that works for him.

Why do we have to have a clown for a President right now? That's what I want to know.

1. The world is laughing at him, not with him.

WhoTF does he think he is?!

[MineralMan]

3. Who? What a good question.

He apparently thinks he's a powerful world leader. He's delusional. He might think almost anything, really.

2. No wonder you say

there is no time this week for the religion group. I've enjoyed the humor in many diaries you have posted.

[MineralMan]

4. Thanks. Religion will still be around, no doubt,

when this clown show reaches its climax. I mean, religion has lasted a long, long time, so I'm not that worried. I'm sure the arguments will still be the same later.

5. What karma since he's always said the world laughed at Obama.

[MineralMan]

6. Odd, I don't remember anyone ever laughing at Obama.

Some of his jokes, yes, but not at the man.

[Vinca]

7. They didn't . . . that's the point.

8. At the U.N., Trump finds the world literally laughing at him

The world is laughing at trump http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/the-un-trump-finds-the-world-literally-laughing-him

As we discussed at the time, it’s been a point of near-obsession for Trump for decades. In his mind, being laughed at appears to be the single worst reaction a person or a country can experience, and so he seems to evaluate decisions based less on merit and more on whether they’ll generate laughter from others.

In the Reagan era, Trump insisted that “bad guys” were “laughing at” the United States. In 2011, The Atlantic ran a piece noting Trump making the same argument about international laughter, at Americans’ expense, during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama eras.

“Everyone is always pointing and laughing at America, in Trump’s view,” The Atlantic piece noted. “A psychologist might have a field day with this.”

Stop by the Trump Twitter Archive and search for example of the president writing missives about people laughing at us. It’s not a short list.

Traditionally, this has made Trump appear vaguely paranoid about ridicule that didn’t really exist, responding to laughter that only he could hear. This morning, however, was an altogether different dynamic: at the United Nations, the world laughed at Trump.
