Trump showed up at the UN to address the General Assembly and insisted on treating the world like one of his rallies.

Trump said, “ I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before. Our economy is the envy of the world.”

The president then waited for applause and was met with silence.

He continued, “ Our economy is the envy of the world.”

Trump was met with even more silence.

The only applause that Trump generated seemed to come from members of his own administration who were in attendance.

The world looked at Trump with an expression of not this guy again, and silently sat there and tolerated his babbling.

At one point in his address, Trump announced that he was renaming AI to SI.

The president said:

 From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world's, will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence. In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence-SI SI. Let's see if that goes. It sounds much better, it is much better, and it's much more accurate. Let's see if I have any power. Maybe I do, and maybe I don't. We're gonna find out pretty soon.

Later, Trump lost it and began ranting about hoaxes, but he also called for the abolition of the International Criminal Court.
