Alternative facts inform us that
#45 vis-a-vis world leaders laughing during UN speech: 'They were laughing with me. And as anyone who knows #45 will tell you, he loves to open with a solid knee-slapping line. Shameless, absolutely shameless. The fucking LYING in the face of documented, observable, recorded reality. David Dennison and Brett OKavanaugh have a lot in common.
The easy tell: #45 was trotting out his line, "...has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country." THAts his usual look at me. O
From USA TODAY, 9/26/18: https://usat.ly/2xRaworld leaders laughing during UN speech: 'They were laughing with me'
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump called reports that world leaders laughed during his speech to the United Nations "fake news" during a news conference Wednesday.
"They weren't laughing at me, they were laughing with me," Trump told reporters Wednesday.
The president's speech Tuesday began with him saying his administration "has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."
The comment was followed by laughter from diplomats in the crowd and Trump saying, "I didn't expect that reaction, but that's OK."
The president said the laughter was taken out of context and covered unfairly in the media.
"Well that's fake news," the president said. "That's fake news and it was covered that way."
He said the leaders "respect what I've done" and the crowd was having "a good time with me."
"I said our country is now stronger than ever before, it's true," the president said. "And I heard a little rustle and I said it's true and I heard smiles."

(63,221 posts)Believe me instead. He is so fucking insane and he's trying to gaslight all of us into buying into his madness. He needs to be called on his bullshit every minute, in every media outlet, by everyone with a voice. We can not let him go on lying and bullshitting us without refuting him. There are millions of people out there who actually believe this shit. I can't take this anymore!
