Trump cancels NATO press conference after video shows world leaders mocking him

By Emily Singer -
December 4, 2019 9:33 AM

Three world leaders were caught on camera making fun of Trump for being late because of his long-winded press conferences.

Donald Trump canceled a final news conference at the NATO summit, following the surfacing of a video that captured world leaders making fun of Trump.

"We'll go directly back to Washington," Trump said Wednesday morning during a photo op with Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel. "I think we've done plenty of press conferences, unless you're demanding a press conference, we'll do one. But I think we've answered plenty of questions."

On Tuesday night, video surfaced of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson laughing and making fun of Trump for being late to meetings during the summit, thanks to his long press conferences.

In the video, Johnson asks Macron why he was late to an event.

Trump's incoherent actions both nationally and internationally has compelled them to disregard providing him with an sincere respect for his position as the head of our nation. He has become am embarrassment to our nation. A buffoon that is to be mocked and ridiculed. We unfortunately have at long last sunk to the level in which the least qualified ignoramus can obtain the presidency. The election system must be rectified to prevent this type of fiasco in which the people's choice is not honored.

Sometimes I can feel myself beginning to feel sorry for him, but I quickly remind myself that he’s a criminal enterprise ranging from tax evasion to crimes against humanity and the planet itself. He is a clear and present danger to life on this planet, much less to our Democracy and even to his avid followers.

Whenever I get a tinge of feeling sorry for him I remind myself of that.

One less press conference. Like anyone cares. He is so thick he doesn’t seem to know the world is laughing at him. That includes Melania the Big Yellow Tulip. Maybe now he is beginning to see how utterly despicable he is to the world.

It’s so bad that we know he’ll do anything he can to retaliate. He lives and breathes his vengeful urges.

to boost his fragile ego. Foreign leaders aren't scared of making fun of Trump like the GOP is.

In Fat Donnie's case, it also allows him to be the center of attention as he waddles his way to his seat while those who were there on time are in the middle of their discussions.

Good on the leaders for pointing that out.
