They weren’t exactly rolling in the aisles at the United Nations General Assembly Hall this morning.<\/p>\n

However, they were giggling at the president of the United States of America. Imagine that happening at remarks from, say, Barack Obama or George W. Bush or Bill Clinton or, oh, any<\/em> of Donald John Trump’s recent predecessors.<\/p>\n

There he was, standing in the U.N. podium, offering the boast heard so often at campaign rallies around the country.<\/p>\n

He sought to brag about how his administration has done more in less than two years than any other presidential administration in U.S. history.<\/p>\n
