"When Obama spoke at the U.N. he did not get a single laugh-not one," Trump told reporters. "I feel sorry for the people who had to sit through his speeches. They weren't funny at all."
In contrast, Trump said, "I killed at the U.N."

The video, captured by South Carolina resident Micha Rea, shows dozens of spectators looking up mesmerized. Shock spreads through the crowd as the raccoon is seen pushing off the wall and falling to the ground.
The statement came in response to a writer for the show, who stated that he's "always thought of Bert and Ernie as KGB" while writing their scenes. Viewers pointed out that Ernie's constant reminiscing over "the Motherland" and Bert's propensity for reading Communist literature as he ignored Ernie's incoherent ramblings suggested that the two may actually be Russian agents.
"Bert and Ernie are puppets, and are therefore apolitical characters without any ability to sell government secrets to Putin," Sesame Street reps wrote on the show's Twitter account. "We wrote the characters to talk about friendship, and they are in no way Russian spies."
"Seriously, they're puppets. Stop making such a big deal about whether or not they're members of your proletariat uprising," the tweet concluded.
At publishing time, Oscar the Grouch had been accused of being enlisted by the CIA to wiretap Bert and Ernie's phone.

She made the statement during a conversation about Brexit, stating that the process of negotiating a Brexit deal would be made considerably easier if human beings could be removed from the process.
"What I do get irritated by," said Mrs May, her face morphing into an approximation of human emotion, "is human beings and their irrational, emotional impulses that defy logic and reason.
"The entire process of removing Britain from the EU is extremely complex but could be approached in a far more efficient manner were it not for the necessity of consideration for human beings and their foolish emotions and desires."
The interviewer, Nick Robinson, a little taken aback by the forceful nature of Mrs May's outburst, asked her to clarify whether she would prefer it if other human beings didn't exist.
"What, that I were alone in the world? Free to mould the planet into my own vision without the need to interact with human beings who mock and laugh in ways I can never understand? Free to run through as many wheat fields as I like?"
She paused, wistfully staring off into the middle distance.
"No, never even crossed my mind."
The interview then came to a close.
The Panorama crew have since reported that following the filming, Mrs May entered a private room that appeared to be full of dolls and could be heard saying - "we'll show them all soon enough, won't we Mrs Pennyweather."

Maximus Mighty Dog Mueller II, Golden Retriever elected as Idyllwild mayor
It may seem fur-real, but the small Californian town of Idyllwild has chosen a heart-crushingly adorable golden retriever with a noble name - Maximus Mighty Dog Mueller II - to be their mayor. Now there's a politician one can actually trust!
"His role is to make the world a better place by conveying unconditional love and doing as many good deeds for others. My role as the chief of staff is to help run the vision of the mayor's office for Idyllwild, so we actually run an actual mayor's office," ABC13 News cited Phyllis Mueller, Mayor Max's chief of staff, as saying.
During a September 7 segment of "Relentless," the NRATV host expounded on what prompted her salvo against the beloved kids show: The addition of Nia - a female, Kenyan train - to the show's cast.
"Am I to understand this entire time that Thomas and his trains were white? Because they all have gray faces. How do you bring ethnic diversity?" Loesch said. "I mean they had to paint, what I guess they thought was some sort of African pattern on the side of Nia's engine?"

Emperor Palpatine is facing a test to his ironclad dominion of the entire known universe, unlike any faced by a modern galactic leader.
It's not just that the Jedi Counsel looms large (namely because he ordered them all executed). Or that the galaxy is bitterly divided over Emperor Palpatine's leadership.
Lucy Carrington owner of 'vegetarian' dog
She decided to put her on a meat-free diet this summer when she started to go off her food. She believed the animal wanted to be vegetarian, so she served up meat-free dog food and leftover vegetables.
Comment: There could be many reasons the dog went off her food but this owner made an erroneous assumption based on her (apparently) unconscious biases.
However, during an appearance on This Morning, the dog headed straight for a bowl of meat - nevermind the carrots and peas.
Veterinarian Scott Miller explained that while dogs are omnivores and so eat both meat and plants, making them vegetarian is taking away their freedom to follow their natural need to eat meat.
Comment: The owner is evidently embarrassed when, as the dog goes straight for the meat, she says "Oh you little....i didn't swear!". And, other than sniffing the vegetables, Storm the dog doesn't even lick them.
Be sure to check out the links below for more information on why the comments in the video praising the ideologies of vegetarianism and veganism for humans, and the suggestion that it could be suitable for dogs, are potentially deadly.
For another entertaining (but not necessarily scientific) study, let's see children's reaction to broccoli or bacon:
Broccoli...
Bacon!

Comment: Even though Trudeau provides an almost endless supply of humorous cringe-worthy and stupid moments, the likes of which make this video only the tip of the iceberg, he is still a world leader, which means every decision he makes affects the lives of millions of people. And that's a scary thought.
