Trump claims he wanted the UN to laugh at his speech, calls it 'great'

September 25, 2018

President Donald Trump is playing off Tuesday morning’s embarrassing moment — in which he was laughed at by the United Nations General Assembly — by saying he totally meant it as a joke

On Tuesday afternoon, between events at the UN, Trump briefly chatted with reporters and he dropped this nugget, apparently confusing the concepts of “laughing at” and “laughing with.”

Trump on laughter at UN during speech: “Oh it was great. Well that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.”

Trump on how his UN speech went:

“I think really well, it’s gotten very good reviews certainly and I think it went very well.”

He said the laugher was intentionally provoked:

“Oh it was great. Well that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.”
