President Donald Trump complained that India was considered a developing nation, while the U.S. was not.

The president on Tuesday addressed the Economic Club of New York, where he defended his decision earlier this year to end a decades-old program intended to promote economic development in other nations.

India, we are supposed to pay them money because theyre a developing nation, Trump said. I said, were a developing nation, too why arent we?

Because we have already became a developed country that's why. A developing nation is one catching up with nations like America.

And it is so unfair. It doesnt kick in for China until 2030. Russia goes back into the 1990s, where the base year was the dirtiest year ever in the world. India, we are supposed to pay them money because they are a developing nation. I said, Were a developing nation, too. (Laughter.) Why arent we Under the WTO, China is called a developing nation. So we wrote them a letter recently; Larry knows it. Im not sure Larry liked the idea too much, but he went along with it. (Laughter.) We wrote them a very tough letter, Larry, and we said

Maybe but it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't know what a developed nation is or what a developing nation is. A joke fails when people can't tell if you are joking or just ignorant.

There's a MUCH higher chance that he's just a fucking idiot who doesn't know what the term developing nation means.

90 percent of the topics in which Admiral appears consist of him making a snide one sentence remark designed to get a rise out of people, and then half the remainder being people yelling at him as he never responds. You have to stop giving him what he wants.

Based on how shitty his businesses are doing it wouldn't surprise me either.

Watch the video. He was pointing out that we are developing our energy sector just like India and China, but for some reason we're supposed to take American taxpayer money and give it to them. I swear, some of you guys would take issue if Trump said water was wet.

Water isn't wet though. It is a liquid that makes things wet when they're covered in it.
