lol i dunno what trump expected. gonna tell a blatant lie like that, of course...well, the world is gonna laugh at him for such a ridiculous comment.
and unfortunately thats how the majority around the world view trump: one big joke.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
what a disgrace. Saudi Arabia a beacon of global progress?
ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Telling how the GOP leadership falls silent when the rest of the world laughs at this clown. But when us red blooded american's laugh at him daily they get all uppity about it.

somebody needs to explain to me what the conservative/GOP obsession with starting a war with Iran is all about?
are they that desperate to go back to combat in the sandbox? for the life of me their reasoning does not make one ounce of sense. it just isn't logical in any aspect.

Outside of the weirdos who show up at his rallies and American journalists, all the bizarre senile stuff he says gets laughed at, and it takes him out of his element.
I love how selective Fox News is when it comes to enabling or disabling comments on their articles.
My homeboys from Europe texted me asking if trump was serious in his speech. I replied “unfortunately”.

His whole thing is rambling incoherently about how he's the best, despite all evidence. It was his bag even before his mind started congealing into goo.
His game show was based around the absurd idea that he was a successful businessman.
I’m not surprised about his comments so much as I’m surprised he would actually ramble like this to the U.N. in consecutive years.
I thought for sure somebody would’ve gave him a halfway decent speech for him to easily run through, but I guess that’s what I get for expecting any sort of professionalism and leadership.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect! 3:30 AM · Aug 9, 2014

Anybody else noticing that trumps tweets never age well?

He can't read a written speech. Always ends up going off script with Abe Simpson rambling.
Only CHSDawg or OldColdDawg would post a title header like this. Some of you guys are ridiculous. This section of the board is the best for entertainment!

It's how most Cons posted threads about Obama. I thought of you all when trolling for a title
Is a spineless fruit with the mind of a small child a weak leader?
This is why I make fun of PDF. How can a guy with a PHD in poetry make fun of THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I didn't see what exactly you said so this is only about things I've seen others lash out at him with. You can make fun of PDF all you want; but his addiction issues are not fair game. You need to remember that.

People with glass houses shouldn't throw stones then.

They are only laughing because they are too stupid to know what Trump has done.
Trump has VERY VERY close ties to the New York Banking Establishment and the Banking elite, as well as very close knit ties with big time Wall Street traders and lenders like Goldman & Sachs.
Trump worked deals with these people to make significant changes and you can trace most of the stock market booms and increases to these very people.
these same people also invested a TON of money into Trump's campaign.
Obama had nothing to do with the economy or change in the stock market because those people would not work with Obama because he was an outsider, Trump has been an insider in the elite banking and trading industry for many decades leading back to his father. Trump even has relationships with the Steinbrenner's with George being one of his best friends.
Trump has made many friends over the decades with the Ney York banking and trading elite via various investments, mutual funds, building projects, etc. Its part of the reason Wall Street donated more money to his campaign then any candidate in history. Wall Street pretty much snubbed Obama which is why the economy was mostly trash during his tenure.
Trump isn't perfect, im not really a fan of the guy. However the lies and onslaught of BS from the media and even these world leaders is wearing thin.

like the UN, we're all laughing at this post.

Diplomats Say They Were Definitely Laughing At Trump At The UN
Trump, however, insisted later in the day that they weren't laughing at him, saying, "People had a good time with me. We were doing it together, we had a good time."

NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s speech to the UN was met by widespread laughter, and diplomats have confirmed that their delegations were laughing at — not with — the US president.
“Sometimes, when we see a behavior or listen to arguments or notions that seem so far-fetched, unreasonable, or insane, there is almost natural reaction of laughing,” one Latin American diplomat said, speaking anonymously so he could speak freely.
The diplomat added, “It is not laughing at a good joke, but a nervous laugh, or a bad joke turned laughable precisely because the guy who tells the joke doesn't realize how bad it is.”
Laughter filled the UN General Assembly room on Tuesday after Trump said his administration “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”
On Wednesday, Trump argued during a news conference that "they weren't laughing at me, they were laughing with me."
"We had fun," Trump said. "That was not laughing at me. So the fake news said 'people laughed at President Trump.' They didn't laugh at me, people had a good time with me. We were doing it together, we had a good time."
Trump's comments came after Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said in an interview earlier Wednesday that those in attendance were laughing because they "loved his honesty" and stressed that the diplomatic community respects the president.
"He's very good at knowing his audience," she told Fox News.
But diplomats themselves described the speech as awkward and out of place.
“His words in the opening part of the speech were clearly addressed to [a] domestic audience,” wrote one European diplomat in a message that noted that other world leaders do the same. “But as he did it in the Trumpian way (bragging ridiculously about being one of the best administrations in history) people in the audience reacted how they reacted."
“What would resonate well at a political rally in America sounded a little awkward at the UN General Assembly,” the diplomat added.
Trump used the speech on Tuesday to hail the importance of sovereignty over multilateralism and to bash those countries that might stand in his way — all while appealing to his own American electorate.
“He doesn’t have any concept of diplomacy,” one Asian diplomat said, though the diplomat added that Trump’s undiplomatic diplomacy has “worked well toward North Korea.”
Trump’s chairing of a UN meeting on Wednesday morning was not met with laughter, but with confusion. The US president did discuss the ostensible subject of the meeting, touching on the Iran nuclear deal and North Korea. But he also veered into distinctly non-nonproliferation territory, accusing China of meddling in the upcoming midterm elections, while offering no proof.
“They do not want me or us to win, because I am the first president to challenge China on trade,” Trump said. “And we are winning on trade. We are winning at every level.”
It was the kind of tangent that would seem completely normal at a Trump rally. But at the highly scripted Security Council, it was distinctly out of place.
The camera panned to the Chinese delegation, the members of which appeared to shrug.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the substance of Trump's speech, or on whether the shrug was an intentional reply.
But the Chinese shrug encapsulated a tension that’s been on display this week as member nations‘ top officials gather to debate world events. The United Nations, home of diplomacy and decorum, is unfamiliar with the sort of brash braggadocio that’s considered par for the course for Trump.
When Trump focused part of his Tuesday address on Germany and warned that “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course,” the German delegation was caught smirking on camera.
That was “scornful laughter, not nervous laughter. But there is a deeper point here: World leaders have worked out that trying to reason with Trump does not work. Trying to attack him often backfires. But laughing at him can defuse his attacks,” said Richard Gowan, a senior fellow at United Nations University.
Neither the German Mission at the United Nations nor the German Embassy in Washington responded to a request for comment.
