Updated: UN General Assembly Laughs As Trump Boasts Of His Achievements

UPDATE - After saying he "didn't expect that reaction" in the moment, Donald Trump later reversed himself saying, "That was meant to get some laughter."

Trump earlier today when foreign leaders laughed at his claim about his presidency being the most successful: "I didn't expect that reaction, but that's OK."
Several hours later: "Oh it was great. Well, that was meant to get some laughter."

Cannot ever remember another UN General Assembly speech where a US president was laughed at, for a line that was not intended as a punch line
