Trump’s campaign rhetoric repeatedly centered on the idea that America was being laughed at internationally. His evidence for this claim was lacking, but it was a point he raised repeatedly.

During his campaign launch, he said Mexico was “laughing … at our stupidity” on the border. In a speech before the Iowa caucuses, Trump claimed that the Islamic State was laughing at our leaders, a claim he repeated in a March debate. The whole world was laughing at us because of Barack Obama, he said in an interview in May of 2016 — and in speeches in June and October. As Election Day approached, he made the claim over and over.

When he announced that he was withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accord last month, Trump claimed that it was necessary because we’d gotten a bad deal — so bad that we were being laughed at.

Flash forward to the don being correct on one issue: the entire world did indeed laugh at HIM and his ego driven drivel . Not with him and not at Americans but at the buffoons` lying and bragging.

DONALD Trump was forced to endure perhaps one of the most humiliating moments for a US president in front of the UN General Assembly, where those gathered audibly laughed at him. And not in a good way.

Speaking at his once-a-year speech at the UN General Assembly, Mr Trump bragged that his administration “had accomplished more than any other administration in history”.

There was awkward audible laughter and the US president looked around the room and smiled broadly.
“Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK,” the US President said.

Mr Trump has long claimed that his predecessors’ weak leadership prompted other nations “to laugh” at the US.

BTW, anyone who thinks drawing the laughter was intended is as blind as their leader

seriously Randall...ALL news programs ran the laughter at his braggadocio speech. I saw the entire speech as well and Germany had a few eyebrows raised over the crapolla he tried to run by the U.N. as well.

HE even said "I didn`t expect that reaction" (laughter) so he knows even if you don`t.

I do not dispute the laughter. Your article is fake news. It omits the applause.

The applause was for "thank the good lord he has finally shut his foolish big yap"

That is quite a bold and dangerous statement here. For everyone involved, US included. Unless you think the US must maintain a favorable international order only by means of the force, hence sending your kids in multiple wars across the world, with zero help, and eventually alliances against itself.

What would happen if third parties were to agree between each other only, thus disregarding those who disregard them in the first place ?

What is left when your values (or will) is ignored ?
How will your will be respected ?

FORCE

The magic of Saturn and POWER lies in a fair and minimal handling of FORCE, when the simple idea of it is enough.

A typical bullshiite statement.

International agreements...where the US is a party have not been mutually beneficial..to the US.

Any number of international agreements have worked to the benefit of other nations but not the US. The list is long. Here's only a partial list of such agreements which worked to the disadvantage of the US.

NATO
NAFTA
TPP
TRADE AGREEMENT WITH CHINA
TRADE AGREEMENT WITH THE EU
TRADE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN
TRADE AGREEMENT WITH SOUTH KOREA
US MEMBERSHIP IN THE WTO

First paragraph is an opinion. An opinion is never fake, just biased.

Second, third and fourth is fact. Pure provable fact.

And did they not laugh, or did it not count because they're thugs?

It takes a bigger person to admit not everyone loves them... not all their critics are monsters... and that bragging is begging for approval. Jane Goodall said it well.

Seems only fair...since Barack Hussein Obama bowed to leaders around the world...including The Burger King!
