It’s been one long, depressing setup to get to this momentary punchline.
As world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly this week, Donald Trump addressed the crowd, touting the nearly unprecedented accomplishments his administration has seen through.

Of course, he added just a touch of extra hyperbole, saying the work they’ve done constitutes “more than any administration in the history of our country.”
How about we take this to the next level?

The room found that quite funny in so much as anything about this country’s present situation can be funny anymore.

"Today I stand before the United Nations General Assembly to share the extraordinary progress we’ve made. In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” Trump says as he begins his speech at #UNGA pic.twitter.com/hM6YH0h60k

Here’s some of the reaction to the clip:
And then the Assembly laughed at him. That’s going to be one of the main things remembered about this fiasco. The whole world laughed at him.

I decided to watch speech until Trump’s first Lie! Took all of 45 seconds! I’m Out! Sad! #TheResistance

They all laughed at Trump not with him-in case he doesn’t know it it’s embarrassing to America to be laughed at because of him-

The fact that the whole room laughed is absolutely wild ???????????????

I hate to break it to you but they were laughing AT you, not with you.

And that was only the first volley of bullshit. It didn’t get any better the longer he rambled on.

Not that I’m defending him but your quote is incorrect. What he said was “more than ALMOST any administration in the history of our country.” You left out the word: almost. The laughter was real. And sad.

What an embarrassment is the Orangeturd.

Think Trump suffers from Billionaire demetria syndrome….Back in the 40s and 50s, the super rich didn’t breast feed their babies, instead they bottle feed them…
Well turns out, there was a missing hormone for brain development and now, all these rich baby men are suffering fro mental issues…
he’s not the first to suffer from this in office…George W Bush was bottle feed also.

Hell just froze over… Who know the Lift were able to laugh with all the sticks up the ass.

It wasn’t just the Lift (sic) laughing. It was the entire United Nations!
Kangol
If by the “Lift” you mean the rest of the globe, that’s a lot of sticks. Really, the pole is lodged so pretty far up Trumpkin’s tuches one end scratches his micro-brain every time his sits down.

Translation: The right wing troll account is trying to deflect from the fact that Trump was mocked by world leaders on stage.

It’s not only the UN Assembly. Listening to several comedy podcasts from around the world yesterday I was struck by the fact that most of them were just wall-to-wall Trump jokes and riffing on how hilariously incompetent and corrupt his administration is – and marvelling that a nation could actually elect such a moron. I mean, Hitler and Mussolini were both geniuses compared to Trump.

I think President Donald Trump is doing an excellent, outstanding, praise worthy job of making George W. Bush and Sarah Palin look smart and presidential when compared to him, the job he’s doing and his position and character to other world leaders. I didn’t think I’d live to see the day when anyone (male or female) would come along and make me wonder if ol’ Sarah Palin would have been THAT awful as president. I mean it. I really do wonder. Bush did come dangerously close but in comparison I felt better with his leadership.
DCguy
I see what you did there. lol

TRUMP IS EVIL AND THE LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.
