Opinion: Donald Trump's UN speech makes authoritarians great again

But while the truism that America is governed by Americans and the rejection of what he called globalism may win him points at a campaign rally in Kansas, it doesn't with the global leaders gathered in Manhattan. The same goes for his bragging, and factually inaccurate opening line that his administration had accomplished more than any other in US history. At the UN General Assembly it was rightfully met with a mixture of incredulous and embarrassed laughter. That was also the reaction of the German delegation after Trump called out Berlin by claiming that Germany would become completely dependent on Russian energy if it did not reverse course on a controversial gas pipeline.

Trump's boasting prompts laughter

Trump kicked off his speech with a list of his achievements since he took office in 2017. He went on to claim: “In less than two years, my administration accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”

As many in the audience erupted in laughter, Trump added, “So true,” with a smile before digressing from his script to note: “Didn’t expect that reaction,
but that’s OK.”

Of course, Fraud "didn't expect that reaction".. he's a fucking moron.

Trump is a laughing stock. But if we weren't laughing, we'd be crying

And while reporters and foreign policy experts could not recall another leader ever before drawing derisive laughter at a UN speech, it did not end there. When Trump made another claim – “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy …” – the cameras revealed the German delegation laughing and snickering to one another.

With Trump’s own behavior and policies as a backdrop, the substance of Trump’s speech merited laughter – it was an incomprehensible joke
