When a President brags about himself at a campaign rally, he will usually get wild cheers, chants, and applause. Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly is very different from a campaign rally which is why nobody would expect the same reaction. Nobody but Donald Trump.
In one of the most glaring, albeit inconsequential moments of embarrassment on the international stage, President Trump said this to the gathered dignitaries and world leaders:
“In less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”
Let’s set aside any debate about whether or not this is true. Valid arguments can be made in both directions. Let’s instead look at the insane disconnect the President has with the reality of situations. We’ll start with the obvious.
A United States President does not make historical claims about himself anywhere outside of campaign rallies. Period. Anywhere else, whether during interviews or press conferences or when addressing the the United Nations General Assembly, such bragging comes across as inappropriate at best, comical at worst. Today, Trump’s words were comical and the audience let him know that by laughing at him.
“So true,” he said as the laughter started to rise. After a brief pause, he said, “Didn’t expect that reaction but that’s okay.”
In the whole scheme of things, this is a meaningless faux pas. However, it demonstrates what many are starting to realize. This President really isn’t aware of anything outside of his own protective bubble. He sincerely believes that his accomplishments are so bright and glorious that he can make such haughty claims and receive the same type of applause he gets from his supporters at campaign rallies.
The left will try to label this a huge embarrassment. It’s not. One thing the world already knows is that President Trump’s self-image is inflated, so such words only act to reaffirm their assessment. In other words, they expect to hear such things. No damage was done.
The real question is how a speechwriter or any of his handlers allowed him to say it at all. Aren’t there people around him to say, “Umm, no Mr. President. You shouldn’t say that to the UN General Assembly.”
