World Leaders Turn Donald Trump Into A ‘Laughing Stock’ At UN General Assembly
President Donald Trump’s boast about his administration’s accomplishments provoked chuckles from an audience at the United Nations on Tuesday.
Trump, in his second address before the U.N. General Assembly in New York, bragged that his administration “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”

It’s a line of rhetoric Trump has repeated often in interviews and at campaign-style rallies during the second year of his presidency. But this time, the claim was not met with applause.
Trump’s audience first reacted to the statement with muted laughs, prompting the president himself to follow up with levity, as well.
“So true,” Trump said as he cracked a smile, which in turn raised the volume of the laughter in the General Assembly hall.
“Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK,” Trump said wryly, scoring the loudest response from the crowd of global representatives.
Trump has long decried past U.S. leaders — especially his predecessor, Barack Obama — for showing weakness on the world stage. In 2014, he tweeted, “We need a President who isn’t a laughing stock to the entire World.”
We need a President who isn’t a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!

Some political insiders and journalists suspected that Trump would fixate on the reaction he got during the speech.
No worse reaction he can think of than being laughed at https://t.co/i1rhdu298e

Where are the wailers, who were jubilating when Trump called Buhari names? Well, their hero has been ridiculed and made a laughing stock by other world leaders. With all the support they gave Trump, the wailers are yet to be granted audience at the White House!

Biafra ambition ke? …… many of my Southeastern brothers and sisters are wallowing in ignorance coz white people don’t like black people, even the Israelites that we have been flying their flag everywhere in the south east are now ejecting Africans from their country. So it is only God will liberate the entire black people.
