Never before has a president been such a global embarrassment, but here we are, in 2018, the year of our lord Tarana Burke (who also happens to be No. 1 on this yearโ€™s Root 100 list, which you can see here), the president was boasting of his made-up achievements to the United Nationsโ€”and they literally laughed at him.

โ€œIn less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,โ€ Trump said, opening his address to the U.N. General Assembly, The Hill reports.

And then the audience started laughing. The president said, โ€œso trueโ€ to which the audience laughed louder.

The awkward moment of lies even made Trump smile.

โ€œI didnโ€™t expect that reaction but thatโ€™s OK,โ€ he saidโ€”and they laughed more.

The president still didnโ€™t get that the joke was on him, that the U.N. General Assembly was laughing at him, not with him. Theyโ€™re laughing because heโ€™s a liar who lies so much that he really believes his lies. I believe that Trump truly believes that his administration has accomplished more than any other administration in the history of the country. Heโ€™s not just saying that to say it, which makes it even funnier.

The Hill notes that the president also โ€œtouted his domestic efforts, including tax cuts and his push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, before addressing his foreign policy goals.โ€

And because there is literally a Trump tweet for everything, Trump once claimed that former President Obama was a laughingstock on a world stage, except that Trump was the only one laughing.

โ€œWe need a President who isnโ€™t a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!โ€ Trump tweeted in 2014, The Hill reports.

Whoโ€™s laughing now?
