They were laughing at him because he claimed his administration, “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”

I can't believe you are trying to spin this.  I take that back.  I can believe it.  Because his supporters, whom you clearly are, cannot accept any notion of negativity, humility, weakness, or wrong-doing regarding Trump.

I see you found something you can latch on to as if that was what they laughed at.  The fact that there are a bunch of interviews with people that were there and their response is clear it wasn't what you are pushing.  I guess when you want to deny something you actually just grab anything and use it.  Keep the spin going as it does keep a smile on my face as I read your replies.

Watch the speech. He pulls a normal Trump and boasts about himself and his admin, and yet silence. He then pauses, changes tone, and makes his sarcastic point about how 'true' America is, and the place starts howling.

If you were telling a joke, and you finished the joke, yet nobody laughed, and then moved on, and people started laughing after you said something else, you wouldn't assume they were laughing at the initial joke because that wouldn't make any sense. Unless the audience is super slow, which I guess is possible?

I'm glad your so very happy because I am so very very sad, with all the crying, and puking, from all the spinning...   No wonder nobody wants to be on the right...

I watched it.  It seemed to me that after his boast, there was a commotion in the background noise that could well be people starting to laugh or otherwise react incredulously.  This prompts Trump to pause and then go off script and say "so true", which causes more laughter.  (Don't you think he seems to be reacting to something here?)  Frankly, I think he played it off about as well as he could; I've never said Trump doesn't know how to work a crowd.  The only problem is later when he says things like he purposely meant it as a laugh line when that definitely doesn't appear to have been the case, going by his own comment at the time. 

Heck, I bet a lot of the UN guys are listening through their interpreters, so a delay before the laughter would be totally expected in that case for a lot (but not all) of the listeners.  What do you think of that—agree or disagree that this is highly plausible? 

To me, anyone who thinks Trump was actually saying "America's so true" as a statement is being foolish.  It seems clear in context that he interrupted himself.  After he resumes his speech, it goes, "America's economy blah blah blah".  It seems clear to me that he began that sentence ("America's"), then interrupted himself and said "So true", probably referring to his earlier statement about accomplishing more than almost any other U.S. administration.  I'd like to know who, if any, of you guys disagree with that assessment.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
