On September 25th, 2018, President Trump delivered a speech at the U.N.

Kaine added, "I agree." The tweet received more than 11,000 retweets and 63,000 likes in 24 hours (shown below, left).

Twitter user @DefenseBaron tweeted,[3] "JUST IN: Trump opens UN speech saying, 'In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country' to which then entire UN general assembly LAUGHS OUT LOUD at the president of the United States." Within 24 hours, the tweet received more than 3,500 reweets and 11,900 likes (shown below, right).
