President Trump on Tuesday strode to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to “share the extraordinary progress” the U.S. has made during his time in office. The reaction he received from the assembled world leaders wasn’t what he was expecting.
“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” Trump proclaimed. There was a smattering of audible laughter from the assembled diplomats, representing 193 countries.
The president paused his prepared remarks.
“So true,” Trump said with a tight-lipped smile, adding: “Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”
More laughter and applause followed.
Trump soldiered on with a speech that seemed more suited for a campaign rally than an address to the world, touting America’s economy, stock market, his border wall and U.S. military, which he vowed would “soon be more powerful than it has ever been before.”
What a humble guy....he is overwhelming....
