President Donald Trump on Wednesday argued that world leaders did not laugh at him during his remarks to the United Nations General Assembly a day earlier but were, in fact, laughing with him.

"The fake news said people laughed at President Trump. They didn't laugh at me," Trump said during a press conference in New York. "People had a good time with me. We were doing it together. We had a good time, they respect what I have done."


Trump during his remarks on Tuesday said that his "administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."

The statement was met with laughter, to which Trump ad-libbed, saying he "didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay."

During Wednesday's press conference, Trump described how he was "in front of a large group of highly professional people" who "aren't big into clapping, applauding, smiling."

He said that he "heard a little rustle" after his line, and then said "it's true" and heard a "little rustle" again, so he commented about not expecting that reaction.

"They weren't laughing at me, they were laughing with me. We had fun," Trump said.
