Trump faces awkward silence at UN as his socialism joke bombs

[Miles Archer]

President Donald Trump criticized the collapse of democracy in Venezuela during his Tuesday address to the United Nations.

“I ask every country represented here today to be prepared to do more to address this very real crisis. We call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in Venezuela,” Trump said, pausing briefly as the UN members applauded.

“The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented,” he added.

Trump again paused, expecting another applause. But he had to wait roughly four seconds before receiving a tepid response.

1. He doesnt know what socialism is, anymore than what sociology is or zoology.

He is the dumbest person alive, almost.

I wonder why he doesnt talk about the Nordic countries, I bet $1000 he doesnt know what a Nordic country is, either.

4. I can hear him now

Most people don't know it, but there's a thing called socialism. It's a really bad thing. Really, really bad.

5. Exactly.

Believe it or not, the average deplorable actually knows more than he does.

And the average deplorable is really uneducated and ignorant.

3. We all know he didn't write this speech - he is just a puppet with enough

digits to hold a pen..a very small pen for very small digits - on very small hands of a very, very small man....

7. He will definitely be coming home and immediately

stage one of his "rallies." He can't stand to not be fawned over by the crowd. He is beyond horrible.
