Trump just got laughed at during his UN speech.

What a clown of a man. The world now laughs at us like never before. Pretty pathetic.

    • Then he has the nerve to say “They weren’t laughing at me, they were laughing with me.” What a child

      • I feel like I should be upset or embarrased but honestly I go weeks without thinking about our country as a whole, and with no consideration at all for trump so I dont really mind anything related to him anymore.

        • It's a sad advertisement of how broken our system is when... 1. That clueless schmuck can get elected. 2. The economy actually runs better under him than it did under his predacessors.

                  • Well I’d laugh at the UN at how pathetic their attempts at “world peace” have been. Allowing countries like China and Saudi Arabia on the panel for HUMAN RIGHTS is -blam!-ing laughable all by itself.

                  • [quote]What a clown of a man. The world now laughs at us like never before. Pretty pathetic.[/quote] By a bunch of people who dont, and didnt, have respect for America. Probably thanks to 8 years of obozo clowning around. Good thing we elected trump so someone can at least try and fix it instead of actively making everything worse.

                    • I’m surprised you heard the laughter, I thought the news channels of America would have cut it from the clips and replaced it with chants of “USA”.

                            If I had to choose between a president the UNGA doesn't laugh at and a president they do, I would go with the former, but I honestly don't care that much either way. A lot of the headline-grabbing stuff Trump does is when he sort of upsets the decorum of the presidency, and then people trip over themselves to talk about how ashamed they are and how this is not how a president should behave. And I think that's fair-- but it's also pretty clear that respectability, while necessary, is definitely not sufficient. Nobody laughed (publicly, at least) at Colin Powell when he told the world Iraq had WMD's and used it as a pretext for war. Powell and Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld all kept with the decorum of their offices... and then tens of thousands of people died anyway, in what is a much greater global embarrassment than anything Trump has done. Obviously this is not to say Trump is good, or that facepalming over a president getting laughed at on the world stage is bad. But when you start to contextualize these things so you can figure out how much they matter, you either realize the answer is "not that much" or you run the risk of overshooting way too far ("the world laughs at us like never before"). That's the kind of language Trump uses, too: everything is the greatest, biggest, best, worst [i]ever[/i]-- and 99.9% of the time it isn't, but Trump can make us think it's true by using outrage to inflate our sense of importance. And again that doesn't mean he doesn't do really, really important things too, or that nothing Trump does matters. It just comes down to the really boring and bland point that we need to focus on stuff that really does matter and hold the president accountable to them, rather than continuously lowering the bar for his performance.

                            • If you actually watched what Trump said afterwards shows humility, as he said it wasnt the raction he expected. The fact is the U.N. is filled with people tjat dont care about the world or their own people. Why they are even apart of it, i have no clue. The U.N. was started as a way to get like minded countries together to promote policies that would stop anything close to another World War. As more countries wete invited, their petty policies started to make the U.N. a feckless bureaucratic mess. Example: human rights council has countries on its board that regularly kill, wrongfully imprison or mutilate their own people. The fact that anyone can point to Trump and criticize him because a bunch of the most detestable people on the planet laughed at him should step back look in the mirror and ask "wat the hell is wrong with you?"

                            • I don't like Trump nor most of what he says, but on the odd occasion his words are accurate they cut right to the core! The bit about Iran was bang on. It's hypocritical based on actions of the US and many other developed nations in the recent past, but nobody else has the nuts to actually say it!

                              • 1) Well... is it true or not? All things considering, what with the entire mainstream media and Left-leaning government against him, they’re doing their best. 2) It’s not good to boast like that. He had it coming. However, he laughed along with it, as opposed to getting offended over it. That takes humility.

                                • Who did he say, "so true" to? Also that doesn't sound like they were laughing at him.

                                • I honestly was laughing right along with them. He was also late. For his own speech. Section 4 of the 25th amendment may be our only hope.

                                • Yeah... That was beyond cringeworthy and embarrassing. All of the world leaders laughing at Trump almost made me feel bad for him. Almost.
