Here is an interesting fact: India had free healthcare before Insurance companies made an appearance in the 90s. The government hospitals were all free (people had to wait for serious procedures though)and private hospital services were priced reasonably. A middle class person could walk into a private hospital and come out without being bankrupt because the hospitals knew how much the market can afford.

Now , 30 years later, cost of healthcare has gone up and is not indicative of what the market can afford but more an indication of how much insurance companies can be charged. Private hospitals neglect people who don’t have insurance. It has become like the US. For the patient, it is a pain to have to fight every claim with insurance companies.

I'd like to think this isn't malicious but 400 birds, I'd imagine theirs more to the story, will be interesting.

Not only will nobody do jack shit, we will actively trade intel amongst our nations. Behind the scenes, this is actively encouraged across the globe. If the Brits are spying on their own people, they are definitely also spying on Americans, and that info is definitely making it's way back to American intelligence agencies.

The UK spies on Americans. Americans spy on Brits. Then they make a swap, allowing both countries to circumvent their own civil liberties and constitutional/legal protections.

Look up "Five Eyes" for starters, but we'd be naïve to think this standard for operating is limited to five nations.

its because most folks dont care so long as their own lives remain relatively comfortable

He thought they were saying "boo-urns".

They’re laughing at you, not with you amigo.

Sounds weird but that felt like the most genuine moment from Trump I’ve seen in a long time. He couldn’t grandstand too much bc he’s with the UN not a campaign rally.

He knew he was speaking in wild hyperbole and so did the crowd. They called him on it and he didn’t seem to double down. Instead his reaction was kinda like “ ok ok you got me. That last line was bullshit.”

It was like a few seconds where he wasn’t putting on an act.

It's because these people are smart, unlike the people at your rallies

Because he’s a moron.

MALS- making America laughing stock

Also Trump: "My friend wrote that!"

Also also Trump: "Stop downvoting me for speaking my mind!"

2am Twitter rant: “The dems and the fake news media on Hillary-funded Reddit keep downvoting me! SAD! Only Hannity and the good folks at T_D can be trusted!”

Takes a real man to acknowledge a mistake, cheers. I should’ve said it takes a strong person to admit a mistake, my mistake. Also I’m a Canadian and I’ve always known deep down that most American share your thoughts, I’ve always had faith in you guys, love you USA.

At least you recognize it.

To make it better, please vote in November for the midterms. They are crucial.

Hey, cheers to you for not permanently burying your head in your ass like it seems plenty others have.

Just, seriously, don't fuck up so egregiously again?

Serious question: Why did you vote for him?

It’s ok. Everyone makes mistakes. You have a chance to fix your mistake in 2 years.

No American says knobhead.

For now. They're not above editing official transcripts to remove things that look bad, like Vladimir Putin admitting that he supported Trump for President.

He says finally a President who is not a laughing stock on the world stage, while proceeding to be the only President who is literally a laughing stock on the world stage.

That sums up Trump, his supporters, and this administration perfectly. He is probably insisiting we launch a nuke at NYC right now, and then after being informed he can't launch a nuclear attack on an American state, he is reviewing options to at least put Tariffs on NY.

It says laughter and applause. It should just say laughter

"Didn't expect that reaction"

That is okay, you do that to us all the time.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

People like to imagine that they're smarter than the President; America finally voted for a man that made that dream a reality for millions.

Here is a video montage of Trump on the campaign trail in 2016 saying the world is laughing at us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrTs8bdVT78

Ah, the old halitosis scam - "they're laughing at you behind your back, but don't worry, I can sell you a thing that solves the problem they're laughing at you for being unable to solve!".

"We're going to be putting tariffs on the UN. Nobody laughs at the leader of the free world without facing consequences"

He's either gonna go the "they were laughing WITH me"/straight up denial route, or a tweet-storm personally attacking world leaders. Maybe both

Isn't this an actual trigger for people with NPD?

Being laughed at in person at the White house Correspondents dinner when Obama roasted him over the birther nonsense is arguably the reason he ran for President. The shots of his steely non-reaction as everyone else laughs at him are kind of haunting.

Pretty sure something profoundly stupid has come out of the whitehouse every single day for the past 20 months.

What's NPD

The statement about us giving to poor countries so why don't countries give us money was.... surreal to hear

Edit: just for clarity's sake, here's the actual quote I'm referring to

The United States is the world’s largest giver in the world, by far, of foreign aid. But few give anything to us. That is why we are taking a hard look at U.S. foreign assistance.

The Emperor's New Clothes

unexpected Ali G at the end

He said America was no longer respected because of Obama, that's the reality he lives in, so his supporters believe the world respects them now.

Have you seen his supporters? They think us being laughed at on the world stage is a good thing. Anyone who supports Trump is an absolute degenerate moron.

he handled it better than I would have expected from him

I'm not sure he realized they were laughing at him. He had this self-satisfied look on his face like he'd just delivered a good joke on purpose. I'm not sure his brain is working well enough to make the connection that he was the butt of the accidental joke. His thought process might have been simpler: "The audience laughed. I am the greatest comedian of all time!"

Remember how well he handled Obama making fun of him? Initially seemed like he was irritated but played along and now he's undoing AS MUCH of Obama's work as possible. He's a spiteful little bitch and I bet we see his narcissism rear it's ugly head very soon via pulling out of the U.N. or something equally ridiculous.

The 5 or 6 seconds before the additional laughter came was due to everyone in there apart from the Commonwealth nations wearing headsets with translators.

They had to wait for the translators to tell them the joke.

he's probably saving that for twitter

Only when the joke is funny.

I have a permanent palm print on my face.

Omg, that is the most petty thing I have ever heard, dont suppose anyone has a link to this video? (Searching myself now.)

To be fair he didn't clarify if his accomplishments were negative or positive.

It's beyond that. The Emperor is dribbling shit down his legs and it's getting on the carpets.
