Eh. We’ll get around to it after we let the evidence pile a little higher. And there’s the whole investigation to look forward to, and the subpoenas and the testimony and the glaivin. Why rush it?
Anyhoo…hey, remember eight years ago when conservatives were losing their shit because Obama was doing a Middle East tour and they felt he was embarrassing the country just by, y’know, giving speeches? Fun times.
No, the last straw was the first opened box of straws. Trump’s onto his ummteenth box of straws by now.

I just saw the clip on TV (as opposed to the computer). It kind of looked like he was saying, ‘No, you pushed me! ’
Apparently the PM of Montenegro said it was no big deal (though some of the folks at home are angry). <snip>
There are those who are saying that the PM of Montenegro obviously didn’t mind, because he was smiling and didn’t look upset. I say that the PM was trying to behave himself and not have a fistfight in front of the cameras, unlike some OTHER world leaders there.
DesertDog:
Unfortunately, no .
At least that gives us something to watch!
I am sure he did it to please Putin. Putin was very against Montenegro being admitted to NATO. I doubt it was coincidence.
For the Republitards out there who say they were embarrassed by Obama, but not by Trump, how could it be about anything but skin color?

This is relevant to the OP… How?
I really had to laugh at my Facebook feed this morning.
First was Justin Trudeau, sitting with Theresa May, giving condolences and telling her how Canada will always be there for the UK.
The very next item was Trump, shoving the PM of Montenegro out of the way and then preening like a peacock for the camera.
Aw, c’mon, you really think Trump has any idea what Montenegro is and who the PM is?? Brownie points from Putin most definitely qualify as a happy coincidence.
The “proud toddler in an ill-fitting suit” pose at the end was the icing.
He probably thought the guy was a waiter.
John_Mace:
I Like what Trump said about the Pope, and I paraphrase: He’s really something!
Oy, he makes my head hurt. Has it been 4 years yet?
More like 40, it seems to me.

What else would a normal, polite human do? The only other choice was to push him back, but we learn not to do that before kindergarten.
Trump is an unmitigated failure of a human, and I say this in the nicest possible way.

Would have been a sight to see, though, had Trump received a pummeling for his actions.
The Secret Service would ave opened up on him with Uzzis.
Secret service may have gotten involved (after chuckling a bit, I hope), but there is no way they are going to use lethal force against the leader of another country.

No although it looks to me like they are talking about something else altogether involving the guy to Trump’s right.
As someone commented to me earlier, you truly cannot spoof Trump. Trump’s actions in the video look like a character actor in a comedy melodrama doing an over the top impersonation of a ridiculously arrogant and vain dictator of a 3rd world country. Like something the Marx Brothers or Woody Allen would do.
Only it isn’t a comedy melodrama.
I see they have “The President Show” on Comedy Central. What’s the point – you’d have to go so far over the top to parody this guy.
I enjoyed how President Macron sat down for a photo op with May and spoke English. Then sat down for a photo op with Trump and spoke French.
Also his last-second swerve away from Trump to greet and hug Merkel. REALLY enjoyed that.
