The United Nations General Assembly laughed at President Trump Tuesday after he claimed his “administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history” of the United States.
Watch here via CNN:
“Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s okay,” Trump said as the General Assembly laughed at him. That’s right, because in his country, his lies are treated as real things to be handled carefully.

There’s no mistaking that they were laughing at him and his embellished (and outright false) claims:
So it seems like world leaders at the United Nations just laughed at – not with – our American President in the first minute of his speech, when he repeated his rally line about his administration having accomplished more than almost any other in our history.
This is not good.

America should try this kind of honesty for once. Instead of repeating Trump‘s claims like bots, or spending hours fact-checking his claims after repeating them, try laughing at them. They deserve the laughter.
