Trump’s Boasts Draw Laughter at United Nations General Assembly

HeadlineSep 26, 2018

President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, praising his administration’s “America First” policies, assailing the International Criminal Court, accusing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of corruption and announcing new sanctions against Maduro’s inner circle, and accusing Iran of sowing “chaos, death, and destruction.” Many of the world leaders and dignitaries in the General Assembly erupted in laughter when Trump boasted about his accomplishments as U.S. president.

President Donald Trump: “In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. [laughter] America’s—so true. Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”
