President Trump just addressed the United Nations. Here are some highlights. At one point, he dropped a line and the audience erupted with laughter. Trump handled it really well.
"In less than 2 years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. America's so true," Pres. Trump says, before U.N. crowd erupts in laughter.
"Didn't expect that reaction, but that's OK," he adds.https://t.co/KPHvoF7j7C pic.twitter.com/5VJHSew3Wx

This was, by far, one of my favorite lines. Trump called on the world to RESIST…socialism. Which– if you think about it– is basically the best thing you CAN #resist.
"All nations of the world should resist socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone," President Trump says, referencing Venezuela as an example. #UNGA https://t.co/KPHvoF7j7C pic.twitter.com/tZGYVazUdg
