The world’s most fragile ego just took another beating.
Donald Trump is probably still smarting from having his penis compared to a mushroom (sorry, vegans), and he would have secretly hoped that the world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly would behave like those MAGA-hat wearing imbeciles at his rallies.
They didn’t, because rather than chant ‘lock her up’ they laughed in his face and it was bloody hilarious.
It pains me to say this, but on stage Trump actually handled the humiliation rather well. Here’s the moment:

I think I saw a little hurt in those sunken pits called eyes right at the end.

Yeah, they laughed in his face. CNN also had a good laugh:
The gathered world leaders — or at least some of them — were laughing at Trump’s contention that he had done more in two years than any previous American administration ever.
Which makes some sense given that the claim seems, on its face ridiculous. There was Abraham Lincoln’s management of the Civil War, Ulysses Grant’s stewardship of the country through Reconstruction, Woodrow Wilson’s work to repair the world community following World War I, Truman’s work to do the same post-World War II, Ronald Reagan’s steering of the country though the Cold War … I mean, the list goes on and on.
So, what happened when Trump was asked about it later? He took credit, of course:
“Oh it was great,” Trump said about the reaction from the assembled world leaders. “Well that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.” He did it all on purpose!
Yes, when he was talking up his ‘accomplishments’ he intended for the room to laugh.
In order to soothe his bruised ego, he soon headed to Twitter:
Imagine how brown your nose must be to tweet that Trump’s speech was “spectacular”?
Not that it matters when compared to how he sarcastically dismissed sexual assault claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh (“Oh gee, let’s not make him a Supreme Court justice because of this”), but there’s also this folly.
Yeah, Donald, ban chocolate production:

The idiot meant ‘coca’, which is used to make cocaine, and instead said ‘cocoa’, which is used to make chocolate.
Even Cyril Ramaphosa joined in on taking the piss out of Trump, during his address to the General Assembly of the UN in New York on Monday.
He said Trump was ‘ill-informed’, which in political speak basically means he’s kak stupid:
Sadly, given how much foreign aid South Africa receives from the US (R6,1 billion last year, much of which went towards AIDS research), it’s not like Ramaphosa can be brutally honest.
We can – what a complete and utter wanker that Donald Trump is.
