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.”— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) September 25, 2018
