Hearing it through translator makes it sound very nerdy and nothing like a "slam".
Criticizing Trump to his face in Bolivian is very weak.
Tell Trump to learn the language.

Trump needs to go with a lighter shade of orange foundation.

You may be onto something.

Trump's ghost writers were the first to speak out about his extremely short attention span, self-centeredness, and lack of general knowledge about basic topics (hard to learn much when you can't focus, aren't exposed to a broad range of topics and ideas during childhood, and lack natural curiosity), long before his Presidential run.

Trump's lack of academic success might be due (at least in part) to the same issue, often undiagnosed in the 1950s and1960s when Trump was in school. His reported acting up, bullying and acting out during the same time could also be due to frustration from ADHD (plus being a spoiled child well beyond childhood). His family's choice to send him to military school when he hit adolescence was typical of well-off and sometimes middle class parents of boys with this problem during the 1960s - especially if academic failures or difficulties were also present.

It has been said that Trump doesn't enjoy reading and seldom reads anything he doesn't absolutely have to read, and that his staff habitually condense reports to simply written outlines of no more than a page or two.

These traits could clearly explain some of Trump's disastrous performance today- but most adults with ADHD learn to control some of the more obvious features, and it's clear that this has never happened to any significant degree with Trump. He has learned to moderate his speech when reading addresses, so that listening to one of his speeches to a significant audience, such as yesterday's gathering at the UN, as background noise rather than really paying attention to content raises no red flags. But at spontaneous events, like the one just concluded, and notably at his "rallies"...Trump goes off the rails.

Trump was talking about Michael Pillsbury, Director of the Center on Chinese Strategy. He appeared on Fox News a few days ago to talk about the on-going trade tensions with China, but as usual Trump failed to provide any context for his name drop.

Democrats should just submit this entire transcript as evidence for invoking the 25th Amendment

That wasn't a laugh of mockery, that was a laugh of resentment. The US has gained economic power while the rest of the world has weakened. They dont hate us for putting ourselves before others. They hate us, because we have the leverage to do so and we used it.
