Jesse Watters Condemns Biden For Not Physically Shoving Aside Other World Leaders Like Trump Did: Biden Doesnt Do ThatFox News Jesse Watters criticized President Joe Biden on Wednesday because he does not shove other world leaders aside for photo ops.
The host referenced a 2017 summit in which then-President Donald Trump shoved Montenegrin Prime Minister Dusko Markovic to get prime position during a 2017 visit to NATOs headquarters in Brussels.
Biden is in Vilnius, Lithuania meeting with other NATO leaders at a summit where Russias war in Ukraine has taken center stage. Ukraine is requesting NATO membership, which means the mutual defense organization would be obligated to join the fight under Article 5 of the groups founding document.
On Wednesday, Watters expressed disappointment at Bidens lack of pushiness literally:
The American president usually dominates every room. When [George W.] Bush went overseas, he commanded authority. Every leader was trying to get facetime. Optics is always important in politics, especially overseas. The worlds watching.***
Trump knew that 2017, when all the leaders were heading to a photo op, Trump pushed the president [sic] of Montenegro out of the way so he could be front and center. Sorry, Montenegro. we got the F-35s. Biden doesnt do that. Looks like a freshman on the first day of school.
