When asked about the laughter at the UN Assembly, Trump said that he expected it

Which would mean that he expected to be surprised by laughter as a reaction to his speech, as he said when it actually happened.



I think that it should be pointed out to him for the news cycle or so that he got his ridiculous ass laughed at by the leaders of the world.

The UN General Assembly isn’t some countryfied gymnasium, chock full of paid attendees and drooling cultists and located in the backwoods of lower Dumbfuckistan. It’s the kind of people that his ego believes that he’s entitled to hob-nob with.

The world thinks he’s a fucking joke and he needs to be reminded of it.

Now we're stuck with the Chevy Chase of presidents. While I wasn't a fan of Ford, I'd gladly take him over the chit we have today.

He doesn't even realize how insane that makes him sound.

And then immediately after, he uttered his usual disclaimer "But that's okay..."

Jesus.
