Most of the breaking news these days seems to be centered around Billionaire, Tycoon and leader of the free world Donald Trump. Trump once again made the headlines for an incident that occurred as he and the leaders of 27 other NATO member countries assembled for a photo at the treaty organization’s gleaming new Brussels, Belgium headquarters. As the group of world leaders began moving into position for the photo op Trump made his way through the group to take his position in the front row next to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, there was only one small problem Prime Minister Duško Marković of Montenegro was standing in his way. Trump undeterred reached out and pushed him aside and took his place in the middle of the crowd, pausing only to fix his coat.
Video was on hand and captured the incident on film, while many have spun the incident in a negative light when looking at the video, when Trump pushed aside the Prime Minister he does so with a smile and the push looks to be good natured, that being said the video itself is very funny to watch and gets better with each repeated viewing.
Prime Minister Duško Marković was asked by reporters about being shoved aside and he stated the following
“It didn’t really register. I just saw reactions about it on social networks, It is simply a harmless situation. it is ‘natural that the president of the United States is in the front row.”
The behavior that Trump showed at the NATO summit is not unusual as it has been seen before in a former President, that being President Theodor Roosevelt. Theodor Roosevelt was known for his brash behavior with world leaders and for an early version of the “America First” policy, the parallels between Trump and Theodor Roosevelt are many and this is just the latest.
It will be interesting to watch the news and see what shows up next in the Trump Presidency. Check out the hilarious video below!
