I heard General Satisfaction was especially disappointed. General Mood - well, he was just sad. I heard General Atmosphere was pretty tense the whole time!Mr. Trump sensed the subdued atmosphere immediately. “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before,” he said.
The president then encouraged the generals to “feel nice and loose,” saying that they were “allowed” to applaud, laugh or even get up and leave if they don’t like what they’re hearing — though he joked that then they’d be fired if they left early.
The only applause he received was a muted round of clapping at the end of his 73-minute speech. NYT.com
