UN audience laughs when Trump boasts of achievements

An audience of world leaders at the United Nations laughed on Tuesday when President Trump boasted of his achievements during his time in office.

“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” Trump said, opening his address to the U.N. General Assembly.

Audience members then began chuckling and the laughs grew louder when Trump said “so true.”

Trump smiled and paused, then responded: “I didn’t expect that reaction but that’s OK.”

Trump often claimed that his predecessor, former President Obama, turned the U.S. into a laughingstock on the world stage.

“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!” Trump tweeted in 2014.
