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

"The underlying claim is, of course, plainly absurd. American history features a great many accomplished presidents, but Donald Trump isn’t one of them, at least not yet. He secured a package of regressive and unpopular tax breaks, but in terms of meaningful successes of historic significance, the Republican amateur is a merely a legend in his own mind. But the trouble is, this president genuinely seems to believe in his own greatness, and when he routinely repeats the line at campaign rallies, Trump’s adoring fans tend to cheer, not scoff. He seemed surprised by the laughter at the General Assembly probably because he’s so unaccustomed to speaking to an audience that has no use for his more ridiculous boasts."
