Trump calls Trudeau ‘two-faced’, cancels press conference and leaves Nato summit early after video of world leaders laughing at him https://t.co/m2KK5DIOef

I had a (bad) feeling something like this might happen after I saw that clip of Trudeau, Macron and Johnson - somewhat un-diplomatically - chortling over Trump’s inane “presser”. I mean, I’m sure we Lizards all agree that The Donald is a incompetent Disgrace To The Nation - the problem is that having foreign leaders kinda openly agree (vs. the more-typical leaks/hints/off-the-record chat) is not, IMO, a good thing.

1. It allows Trump to appear like a victim - correctly for once: that it’s his own fault for being a loudmouthed boob is beside the point, and a line unlikely to be pushed in the media.

2. Like it or not, the asshole IS the POTUS: an insult to him reflects on all of us.

3. While we can make fun of The Orange Anus for being a big baby, now that he’s ticked off at NATO leaders, he’s likely to want to get back at them somehow. And that “how” is HUGELY unlikely to be good for the country and/or its international relationships.
