The NATO meeting isn't going to go well.

JFC! I was just watching Trump's press conference from Turkey. This man is seriously mentally ill and it's time to stop pretending otherwise. He is just as hostile to many NATO partners as he is to Iran. And poor Mark Rutte, having to sit there and coddle this sick, pathetic man-baby and having to do it with a smile on his face. Trump brings great shame to America every time he opens his mouth.

Oh yeah, and the memorandum of understanding with Iran is over as far as Trump is concerned, calling their leaders 'scum, evil, vicious, violent, sick people'. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. And of course Greenland is back on the table.
No wonder the First Lady sat this meeting out. While the other NATO leaders had their spouses with them for a group photo Trump stood alone. Melania knows just how f*cking gone he is.

support him. How do we defeat a bad candidate who isn't mentally ill if people can't even figure this out?

Shouldn't our Secretary of State be the main representative at these important meetings?

Chump only goes for the TV cameras, but then he makes a total ass of himself, and he can't help but embarrass us even more.

If Rubio were there, at least the behavior of the US participants would be improved by 100%. The other leaders would have someone they could talk to about substantive issues. This NATO meeting is just a total circus, with Chump there. Put him in a playpen and give him a toy phone to play with.

choices. He is not allowed to speak at these pressers unless Trump throws him a bone. Rubio is seeing his own presidential ambitions vanish working for the lunatic.

Remember when we had REAL Secretaries of State? Like Madelaine Albright, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry?
EDIT to ADD: Antony Blinken, another fine Secretary...

Sigh ...

fabulous we are. It's disgracefully pompous. Looks like his orange makeup is trying to run down his forehead. "We're stronger, bigger, and better and more respected than ever before."

He's taking questions, now. First question: "It looks like the Iran war is getting to be a dead end for you." He denying it -- "It's a tremendous success...they don't know how to make a deal."
