Donald Trump sends UN General Assembly into laughing fit after boasting about accomplishments
President Donald Trump was confident when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday – too confident, as it turned out.
While speaking from the podium, Trump seemingly went off script in boasting about the United States’s progress since he took office in 2017.
“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished almost more than any other administration in the history of our country.”
The statement met with snickers and light laughter from the world’s leaders in the audience, much to Trump’s surprise. He paused before adding, “Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”
The response from viewers at home, who quickly logged on to Twitter, was shock and embarrassment.
