Q: What happens when you try to make outlandish claims about your terrible presidential administration, but you’re not at a rally full of hooting yokels?
A:
Per pool:
There was audible laughter in the hall when President Trump said his administration has achieved “more than any other administration in the history of our country.” Trump acknowledged the laughter and said: “Didn’t expect that reaction but OK.”— Jesse Rodriguez (@JesseRodriguez) September 25, 2018
As ABC News reports, Trump spoke on Tuesday morning front of the United Nations General Assembly, and his boasting ways didn’t go over so well:
“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished almost more than any other administration in the history of our country,” Trump said at the top of his address, which prompted audible laughter in the hall.
“Didn’t expect that reaction but that’s OK,” he responded.
This is amazing, especially after Sarah Huckabee Sanders predicted that the speech “is going to be a great moment for the president.”
And really, I don’t even think the audience was trying to make a political point. How else are you supposed to treat a claim like that? Laughter is really the only response.
Update: We have video:
“I didn’t expect that reaction but that’s OK” – World leaders break out in laughter after President Trump claims his administration has accomplished more than virtually any previous US administration.
