Susan Glasser: No doubt what this speech will be remembered for... that time the UN General Assembly laughed at a US President >>
---------------------
Hisham Melhem: This is delicious, since it was #Trump who said before his election "They laugh at us. Behind our backs, they laugh at us because of our own stupidity". And who bragged that "We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World,"

Donald tRump: 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. At the U.N., Trump finds the world literally laughing at him

The world is laughing at trump http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/the-un-trump-finds-the-world-literally-laughing-him

As we discussed at the time, it’s been a point of near-obsession for Trump for decades. In his mind, being laughed at appears to be the single worst reaction a person or a country can experience, and so he seems to evaluate decisions based less on merit and more on whether they’ll generate laughter from others.

In the Reagan era, Trump insisted that “bad guys” were “laughing at” the United States. In 2011, The Atlantic ran a piece noting Trump making the same argument about international laughter, at Americans’ expense, during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama eras.

“Everyone is always pointing and laughing at America, in Trump’s view,” The Atlantic piece noted. “A psychologist might have a field day with this.”

Stop by the Trump Twitter Archive and search for example of the president writing missives about people laughing at us. It’s not a short list.

Traditionally, this has made Trump appear vaguely paranoid about ridicule that didn’t really exist, responding to laughter that only he could hear. This morning, however, was an altogether different dynamic: at the United Nations, the world laughed at Trump.

7. He never fails to embarrass us. God! He should never have been allowed near the UN.

9. Well, now His well-deserved event of getting laughed at is streamed all over the world...

in real time, and many times thereafter, I predict. There is an old saying..."What you resist, persists" Doubt he'll ever go on record with that one again. His time is very limited...Mueller will have his say, and soon, I believe.
