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.

OP
Yep, they don't love Trump in spite of him being an asshole--they love him because he's an asshole.

Which of them should he have shoved? Maybe he should have established total dominance

It really damages the soul to read of such stupidity. Responsible journalism?

If this isn't satire, I have to conclude that Fox has finally done it: They found someone even more awful than Tucker Carlson to replace him.

Onion or not, you'll still "laugh 'til you cry".

and its bloody corpse was nailed to Fox "News" HQ.
