Trump's Rude Shove Is Going Viral in the News

[MineralMan]

Do a Google news search for Trump shoves. In just the past half an hour, the story and video of Trump shoving aside the Prime Minister of Montenegro to push to the front of a group of other NATO leaders has leaped to the top of the news, both in the US and internationally. And that's just the beginning. Before much more time has passed, it will lead the news everywhere.

That video will also, no doubt, be the lead-in video for the major network news this evening.

Way to go, Donald! You've made the office of Boor-in-Chief of the United States famous with your rude, churlish behavior.

That video will be the take-away from the NATO conference. Bravo, Donald! Bravo!

[A HERETIC I AM]

1. Just saw that. What a classless, arrogant, rude buffoon

We're stuck with the least presidential president possible.

What a fucking douchebag

[Scarsdale]

111. GOP

owns this clown. He is THEIR representative, 100%.

[erronis]

188. And it appears the same virus has infected almost all the rest of the GOP

There actually used to be some moderates, maybe even a rational thoughtful one or two.

Violence and arrogance seem to be their answer to intelligence and honest discussions. Sorta like that Dick John Wayne or Clint Eastwood in the fairy-tale land of America and the frontier.

[Greywing]

2. I'm so embarrassed ... 45 is simply classless

I hope someone body slams him!

[onit2day]

58. Me too.There's a camera, me me me me..Jackass

[madaboutharry]

3. MSNBC Andrea Mitchell

calling him "The Rude American" and showed the clip, inviting her guests to comment on it and slam him.

[FarPoint]

31. Andrea was a * bush boot licker for sure....

Now with tRump...she can't swallow the ignorance...

[c-rational]

153. Is she compensating for how horribly she treated Hillary?

[oldtime dfl_er]

155. No but she knows

which way the wind is blowing. When she got positive air time for asking questions that Tillerson wouldn't answer, she got all tingly.

[FarPoint]

164. She may have some regrets now...

I do believe she is humiliated by tRump and Company ....

[Achilleaze]

4. ShoveGate overtakes ShakeGate in ranking as...

...one of the lowest, littlest shittiest things the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief has done to disgrace himself and the KGOP.

[Thrill]

5. How many uppity and arrogant comments

Would we be hearing from Republicans and Fox News if Obama had done this

[MineralMan]

7. Obama would never have done such a thing.

Never.

[Hortensis]

139. Yes, totally out of the question. Never. I'm glad all over

that we elected him between W and rump and showed the world WE are still here and we can do it right.

[Alice11111]

165. Yeah, a light between the darkness

[PatrickforO]

182. It is inconceivable that Obama would ever have allowed himself to

act in such a shoddy, classless manner. Obama has more class in one of his eyebrow hairs than Trump ever dreamed of.

You know, I would cheerfully have Barack and Michelle over for dinner, but I wouldn't even want Trump in the same block as my house, let alone in my house. I'd have to fumigate.

Disgusting man.

[George II]

59. None. He's too classy to do something as rude as that.

[Amaryllis]

90. Will be interesting to see how Fox spins this. It's a hard one to spin, but they are very skilled.

Maybe they will just ignore it.

[forgotmylogin]

120. They'll say

"It was a friendly clap on the shoulder."

45 was gritting his teeth when he did it though.

[LiberalLovinLug]

159. I say the latter

They do not air stories that make their Dear Leader look bad.

[Alice11111]

166. True. The entire world media will cover a story& Fox skips

it, if it makes Repubs look bad. It is a Republican propaganda channel. RT, the Russian propaganda media, is truly more "fair and balanced" with their news.

[David__77]

6. For reference.

[MineralMan]

20. Thanks. I thought everyone had already seen it.

I'll add it to the OP on edit:

[Alice11111]

167. I keep watching it over and over, because it is unbelievable

[narnian60]

173. Same here.

[Stuart G]

217. I had not seen it till about 3 minutes ago...

Truly ugly.........beyond ugly...........you can see in the picture, how self centered he is..all about me..


..............................................................??

[LisaM]

34. Then he sticks his chin up in the air in a snotty way, too.

He's just a textbook case of why we should never, never vote for someone based on their having been a head of a company. He absolutely doesn't seem to realize that he serves the public now. He still thinks he's the boss of everyone.

[Siwsan]

57. Maybe he is channeling his "inner Mussolini"

[img][/img]

[solara]

61. Nailed it

you did, absolutely nailed it

[img][/img]

[dalton99a]

69. +1

[RecoveringJournalist]

87. Cheeto Benito

Cheeto Benito strikes again! - Props to whoever coined that term here.

[NBachers]

94. Mussolini was my first thought upon seeing the video, too.

Except in this case it's"Il Douche."

[erronis]

189. Correction: "Il Douche Bag" (which google explains means "cretino" in Italian.

Lots of labels fit this sack of mendacity and turds.

For whatever reason, he seems to wear them with pride. Is there an agenda underneath all the pomposity?

[grantcart]

100. Well that ends this thread lol except

Mussolini had a gregarious laugh and I suspect was very cordial to the people around him and only strutted like that when he was striking a pose or giving a speech. I suspect that Mussolini wouldn't have shoved other elected leaders.

How low can he go when we start arguing if he meets the Mussolini standard?

[NickB79]

107. Ever seen this Simpson's episode from 2005? Amazingly prescient

[jrthin]

176. Agree w/Solara...You NAILED it! nt

[ATL Ebony]

92. Uppity, self-grandizing A-hole.

My sound on this device is dorked -- what was the exchange he had with the woman. Noticed he pointed his finger at her. It looks like she criticized him and he then chastised her.

[yardwork]

129. I noticed that too. He rudely pointed his finger at her and then angrily looked away. She laughed.

All the other heads of state are laughing in disbelief at the American president.

[ATL Ebony]

137. Thanks, was testing my lip reading skills (failed) . . .

so I went for the facial expression and assumed he said something like "mind your business". I was pretty close, LOL
He's a certified fool.

[lunatica]

134. Actually he jabbed his finger at her like saying "You! Shut up!"

[smirkymonkey]

147. I was wondering the same think. It did not look like a friendly exchange.

She probably gave him a piece of her mind and he told her to shut it. The usual respect he shows to women.

[xxqqqzme]

191. Agree, I haven't seen anything about that exchange.

[Amaryllis]

93. It was the PM of Montenegro - CNN:

"While walking with the NATO leaders during his visit to the alliance's headquarters Thursday, President Donald Trump pushed aside Dusko Markovic, the prime minister of Montenegro, as he moved to the front of a group of the leaders."

[NastyRiffraff]

8. My god, he's an embarrassment

Never mind that he doesn't know how to be presidential. He doesn't know about normal, polite behavior that any grownup should know.

[NurseJackie]

14. Donald Trump makes me proud...

... to be a DEMOCRAT!

[NastyRiffraff]

22. Damn right!

[brer cat]

47. Perfect response, NJ!

[niyad]

16. he doesn't know the normal, polite behaviour a 6-year old knows.

[Amaryllis]

91. I have started to wonder if he has Tourette's.

[Scarsdale]

112. Prime example

that money can not buy CLASS. Uncouth lout. Notice how everyone else has their suit coats fastened. Donnie is too fat to fasten his.

[evemac]

177. I have a son with Tourette Syndrome

Nothing in Trump's behavior to signify a tic disorder. Trump had a behavior disorder.

[Amaryllis]

187. Good point. I was thinking out the blurting out, but you are right; no tic.

[Virtual Burlesque]

192. No, but he's a carrier. n/t

[Texin]

218. Exactly!!!!!

I've seen more polite toddlers than this assclown. What a sorry excuse for human life this shithead is.

[roamer65]

9. What an utter piece of shit.

Dump is a fucking asshole.

[TheBlackAdder]

110. Piece of shit? He's the whole fucking turd! :-)

[Fantastic Anarchist]

158. Shits actually have more class.

[IrishEyes]

208. He's not even good enough to be that.

Shit can be used as manure to help things grow.

[asuhornets]

10. Oh. My. Goodness. Entitled Jerk n/t

[Doodley]

11. He views all other people as inferior and disposable.

[MineralMan]

13. Yes. ALL other people.

Every person in that group is a national leader, but Trump believes himself to be superior to them all. How strange he is...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

135. "Montenegro? Where the hell is that? Is that even a country?"

"Why should some guy from somewhere I've never even heard of be walking ahead of me? Is Montenegro even in NATO? If it is, they probably haven't paid me what they owe. So I get to walk ahead of that guy. He owes me for NATO. Anyhow, I had the biggest, most beautiful inauguration crowd ever in the history of the world. It was yuge. I bet that guy didn't get a crowd like mine."

[MineralMan]

140. Almost certainly, he doesn't know a thing about Montenegro.

He should ask Melania. She knows where it is.

[LakeArenal]

161. He probably can't spell or pronounce Montenegro.

[Virtual Burlesque]

193. I know you were channeling Hair Furor's inner demons, but just for the record:

Montenegro is situated in the Balkans between Kosovo and Sarajevo.

While Montenegro is not currently a NATO member, the accession of Montenegro to NATO is expected to be completed on June 5th, which is probably why Prime Minister Dusko Markovic was attending the conference.

Through NATO, Montenegro deployed 40 soldiers, a three-member military medical team, and two officers under German command to Afghanistan in 2010. Montenegro peacekeepers were also deployed to Liberia and Somalia.

[likesmountains 52]

12. I'm not a violent person, but I'd love to smack that look off his face...

[hamsterjill]

36. The only answer to a bully

Is a bigger bully.

I'd love to see Trump meet his match.

[AtheistCrusader]

50. Don't wish for that. It would mean war. Literally.

[hamsterjill]

142. I wasn't thinking in global terms.

I was thinking of someone (as an individual) giving Little Donnie (as an individual) a piece of his own medicine.

[briv1016]

53. Just wait till his first meeting with Putin.

He'll be like a lap dog.

[magicarpet]

138. Somebody like Jesse Ventura.....

..... let me see tr-dump:be rude and insulting to Mr. Ventura.

[joedogs]

207. Herr Frump met his bully in moscow

and he's been Putin bitch ever since. and one classless mother-fucker on top of that.

[Vinca]

15. What a fat, stupid jerk. This is so embarrassing for our country.

[Hoyt]

17. What the heck are Trump's body guards going to do if some head of state slugs our bully in chief?

[True Dough]

28. I think we have to worry more

about Trump's bodyguards doing something similar to Erdogan's henchmen in Washington!

[blaze]

212. Say, "Thank you!!! I've been wanted to do that..." nt

[LSFL]

18. Look at his bearing right after

Just a bully doing bully stuff. My kingdom for just one punch to his stupid fucking face.

[ailsagirl]

172. Remember backpfeifengesicht?

"a face in need of a good punch"

[LSFL]

179. noted!

[smirkymonkey]

180. That word was invented for him.

I always understood it as "a face badly in need of a fist" but either way, it works for me!

[ProfessorPlum]

195. I think it's even better than that

"a face that sings out for a fist"

[KewlKat]

19. thanks for the video

[onecent]

21. OMG...It's everywhere.....I didn't know you could just go and put in

Trump Shoves.......

Newspapers have it, You tube has it.......

Thanks MineralMan!!!!!!!

[mainer]

23. Then he preens like a rooster, juts out his jaw, looks SO satisfied with himself

Someone needed to slap this out of him when he was in kindergarten.

[dalton99a]

24. No worries... He'll pivot... He'll grow into the job... Hope springs eternal...

Why can't Democrats give him a chance?

etc. etc. etc. etc. etc....

[MFM008]

37. E mails and

Establishment.....

[GoCubsGo]

25. No doubt his cult followers admire this sort of behavoir.

I wouldn't be surprised if they look at it as a badge of honor.

[dalton99a]

26. They love that stuff

[RedSpartan]

73. They Do

I've seen them calling it Bossing In Brussels. As in the phrase Like A Boss!

[ThoughtCriminal]

185. I saw some FB posts from his supporters

Yep. They see it as a proud moment.

[maryallen]

27. Arrogant jerk!

That spontaneous gesture tells you who he really is.

[SamKnause]

29. I despise Trump !!!

[Dem_4_Life]

30. He's such an embarrassment

When will our national nightmare be over!!!! Ugh!!!

[David__77]

32. He's handling others' bodies as obstacles to his assertion of control.

All of his gestures reflect that viewpoint.

[Glimmer of Hope]

33. I hate him more.

[MFM008]

79. I hate him

MOST.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

168. I hate him INFINITY.

[MFM008]

220. crap

[Fantastic Anarchist]

221. !

😃

[MFM008]

35. His obvious distain

For those " not as important" as HE is came through pretty clear.

[R B Garr]

38. Eeeeww, and then that stupid vapid posing look on his face as if his inner dialogue

is seeing the most important person ever to exist while the rest of us see the insane freak that he is. What an absolute embarrassing man-child. He is truly deranged.

[Orrex]

41. His inner dialogue...

Is "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP..."

[sammythecat]

77. That really struck me too.

That look on his face when he got where he thinks he belongs, front and center, and then straightening his jacket and jutting out his chin. Ugh! And to think of the many millions who'd consider this appalling boorishness to be an admirable display of strength! What a nightmare all this is.

[smirkymonkey]

152. That's what kills me - that there are people who actually admire this kind of behavior and see it as

a sign of strength, instead of what it really is. It is sign of weakness, insecurity and complete self-centeredness. He is a vile excuse for a human being and so is anyone who wasn't appalled by his sickening behavior today.

[sammythecat]

219. If I may do a little paraphrasing

of your second and third sentences, they're such a concise and accurate summation of my take on this horror. Donald Trump is weak, insecure and completely and pathologically self-centered. He is a vile excuse for a human being and SO IS ANYONE who isn't appalled by his sickening behavior.

The "so is anyone" part is why I try to avoid political talk anymore. I live in a deeply red county, almost 80% Republican, and I really don't want to know if someone STILL supports Trump. I know they can't be persuaded or argued with and I can't go around hating almost everyone I come in contact with, so I don't want to know their hateful side. I didn't think anything could be worse than the Bush years, but this, I feel, is. And we're just 3 months in. God(or something) help us.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

170. The fact that this isn't a parody is what's astonishing.

[Orrex]

39. His idiot fuckhead worshipers will adore him for it

"He's showing them who's boss, and he won't let those prissy European socialists push him around."

I say this because it's already true, and they're already saying it.

[BSdetect]

40. He's an obscenity at large. Restrain him.

[cwydro]

42. The ugly American.

Personified.

[mnhtnbb]

116. Bingo!

[Cracklin Charlie]

43. Bad!

They all saw and felt that move.

He is just so gross!

[FlightRN]

44. Disgusting

He is utterly repugnant. A complete lack of class, he likens himself to a mob boss.

[spanone]

45. ARROGANT. ASSHOLE. that fucking look on his face....

[peacebuzzard]

46. I wanted to know who he brazenly pushed

As he was thinking "meme meme."
The Premier of Montenegro, with supreme elegance, deferred and did not lose composure.
Spraytan Orangeman is a sucking disgrace and dishonor.

[RoBear]

48. omfg!

I'm speechless.

[MineralMan]

49. So were many of those NATO leaders.

Meanwhile, Trump is oblivious...

[irisblue]

51. That chin lift after he pushes past

What an ass.

[MineralMan]

54. Mussolini move.

Classic.

[doc03]

52. I can't believe this rude classless piece

of arrogant shit is president.

[irisblue]

55. Mussolini died in 45, trump was born in 46, that chin lift of trumps & Mussolini

Reincarnation?
BTW trump is a rude MF er.

[Amaryllis]

95. OMG, I thought of that right before I read your post!

[barbtries]

56. aargh.

i hope the world knows this is not what most americans voted for.

[Alice11111]

174. I think that is it, from reading foreign newspapers, they

do blame us for letting him be elected...not voting, etc.
When I talk to people traveling, face to face, they seem more sympathetic, and they will say, we know all Americans don't like him.

Everyone I know says they can feel the hostility toward Americans whole traveling, which had gone away under Obama.

At least the courts overruled him again.

[BarbaRosa]

60. That's a real Webster moment,

look up asshole in the dictionary and see this vid.

[hedda_foil]

62. Just heard on MSNBC that the "Montenegro Prime Minister" is really the Russian ambassador.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

133. LOL! How did they screw that up?

The Russian ambassador obviously wouldn't be at a NATO meeting.

[ailsagirl]

63. OMG!!

FLAGRANT!!

[SunSeeker]

64. Looks like the most dangerous place to be is between Shitler and a camera.

[MineralMan]

68. Well, he IS the most important person in the room.

Always.

[ButSeeYa]

65. Good..I'm glad it's going viral

I hope it plays in a loop all day on MSM, so the idiots will continue to see that they voted a petulant, asshole, bullish, arrogant, overbearing, hateful, racist, sexist, bloviating man-child to the highest Office in our country.

[Chakaconcarne]

66. Did you see the reaction by the premier?

He looked like he wanted to punch Trump.

[benpollard]

67. That's what real leadership looks like...

... to a conservative.

[MineralMan]

70. Sadly, I think you're correct.

It's a real shame. We are rapidly losing face in the international community, thanks to Trump. Not a good thing at all.

[NRaleighLiberal]

71. Lock him up.

[MineralMan]

72. Would that were possible.

[Leith]

74. Who Is the Woman on the Other Side of the Montenegran Premier?

She said something to shitgibbon. He pointed as he replied, then he took his Mussolini stance. Oh! To be privy to that exchange!

Edited to add: Just found it. She's President Grybauskaite of Lithuania.

[MineralMan]

76. I don't know. I'm bad at recognizing European leaders.

[Leith]

85. It Took Me a Few Minutes

But I found out who she is: President Grybauskaite.

Updated my post above.

[MineralMan]

89. Thanks very much.

I would never have recognized the President of Lithuania. I'm sure Trump didn't know who she was, either. In his mind, he was probably thinking, "Who's that old broad?" That would be my guess about his thoughts, anyhow.

[Leith]

104. LOL! No Doubt

He probably told her to fetch him a diet coke as he pointed at her.

[MineralMan]

75. Buffy Says It All:

I hope the deplorables are happy. I suspect they are. Losers.

[William769]

81. I really hate that mother f*****!

83. If I had done this as a child I would have been drug away and given a quick kick to my butt.

My parents didn't have money, but they taught us manners....sometimes the hard way, but we learned. This toad was never taught how to behave in polite society.

[qanda]

84. Conservatives are saying that the people around him were laughing

Because it was a joke. No, the people around him were laughing because he is a joke!

[MineralMan]

86. Yup. They were laughing at him for the boor he is.

Sort of a nervous laughter that says, "Can you believe he just did that?"

[NoMoreRepugs]

88. But but but - He's learning on the job don't you know??

The bar established for Republicans has been dug deep into the ground.

[lunatica]

136. Unfortunateley he's just learning what every 2 year old learns by the time they're 3

Politics isn't the only thing he's abysmally ignorant about.

[3catwoman3]

96. He is such...

...a putz.

Whatever you exactly "American exceptionalism" was supposed to mean, it will soon, if not
already, mean exceptionally rude, crude, crass, pretentious, arrogant, ignorant, bellicose and petty.

Please add in any that I missed.

Would someone please give an etiquette book?

114. He'll read it after he reads the Bible

127. Look at that obnoxious arrogant look on his face. The "ugly" American...

[calimary]

128. donald J trump.

Now we know. The "J" stands for Jerk. And also Jackass.

I am so humiliated by the thought that THAT is America's face to the world.

As a mom, I go directly to "who the hell brought you up???"

My husband saw that and immediately said "I wasn't brought up to do that." I responded "neither was I. And neither were our kids!"

Disgusting and Disgraceful. And those "D's" I will capitalize.

[lunatica]

130. That's his fucking Achilles heal

He can't stand to be upstaged even if it's completely inadvertent.

Although in that crowd it probably was on purpose. They were all walking away from him. I hope they were all speaking in French or something so he can't understand.

His insecurity is plain to see in this video

[appleannie1943]

131. It has even made it's way onto local TV stations. Of course the Trumpsters are claiming he belonged

in front and everyone else was in the wrong for getting in front of him. Most people already know he is a rude and ignorant ass and now he is proving it to the world by his actions. What an embarrassment to our country.

[arthritisR_US]

132. Yep, the moronic orange shitgibbon craps all over himself yet again 🙄

[Grammy23]

141. No one should be surprised by this arrogant twit, not one bit.

Remember when he and Melania arrived at the White House and were greeted by the Obamas? tRump muscled his way into the doorway first, as I recall. Melania was forgotten behind him and it was the Obamas who greeted her and escorted her in the door, behind her crude, classless husband. He is a boor, with no sense of decorum. Protocol? What's that? An over the counter cough remedy?? No amount of prepping, coaching or cramming for finals will EVER make this brash, uncultured buffoon fit to be our President. Not that he'd be bothered to study up since he thinks he fine just the way he is. Jesus, Joseph and Mary! How'd we end up with this asshole-in-chief??

[dalton99a]

143. Tweet from J.K. Rowling:

144. would have loved to trip that so and so whilst he went past.

[Tarheel_Dem]

145. That was cringe inducing. What an a**hole.

[-Steph-]

146. Last year, Putin was allegedly plotting to seize control of Montenegro and assassinate their former

Prime Minister, Milo Đukanović, according to the government of Montenegro. Putin specifically didn't want Montenegro joining NATO. Now that Montenegro will officially join NATO in just a couple of weeks, is it really a coincidence that Putin's puppet was shoving the Prime Minister at a NATO meeting of all places?

I have no doubt that Trump would have tried to make his way to the front no matter who was in front of him, but I also don't think it's just a coincidence that the person he ended up shoving in the process was the Prime Minister of Montenegro. IMO, Trump had a clear look of contempt on his face and seemed to go out of his way to avoid even acknowledging the Prime Minister's presence after the incident took place. It leaves me with the impression that the shove wasn't JUST about getting to the front. That's just my opinion though.

149. I'd be willing to bet that Trump didn't know who the person was at all.

He's not big on things like that. I suspect he couldn't tell you the names of more than four or five of those NATO leaders on sight, nor what countries they represented.

154. I could very well be reading too much into it, as I do fully believe that President Chump would

have tried to make his way to the front no matter what. It could just be a horribly bad coincidence on Chump's part, with all of the Trump/Russia headlines lately, that he ended up shoving the one person that Putin absolutely did not want being there.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

150. UGH. Then pulls the lapel of his coat. MAGA?

[MineralMan]

151. That's the equivalent of Trump beating his chest.

"There!" He says. "I handled that just right!"

[Fantastic Anarchist]

160. I can't believe this guy.

I mean he's truly unbelievable.

I have to keep telling myself that this is real life. The guys on Dumb and Dumber have more intellect and class.

This is not fiction.

156. AOAA

Asshole of all assholes move.....what a loser!

[LakeArenal]

162. There are not enough ugly words to describe him or his actions...

Egads, it's embarrassing...

[Madam45for2923]

163. Who can be attracted to that? Who does that?

Crazy & disgusting.

[speaktruthtopower]

169. Didn't look good...

..an aborted locker room shoulder pat?

[The Blue Flower]

171. The pose after the shove was even worse

What a revealing moment--and in front of the entire international community.

[Honeycombe8]

175. Like I said during his campaign....schoolyard bully. nt

[riversedge]

181. The shove was so obvious--just to get his mug in the front row. Beyond the pale!!

[PatrickforO]

183. I just emailed this URL to The Hill in the hopes they'll publish it too.

[ElementaryPenguin]

184. No one has EVER personified the "Ugly American" character better than Benedict Donald

My sincerest apologies to the rest of the planet.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

186. What. A. Fucking. Assrocket.

What a POS! A JOKE!!

I think I must copy the address and use it to reply to every asswipe trumpanzee on the entire innertubes.

190. Who is the woman speaking to him?

He didn't like it and it appears he is responding in a nasty manner to her.

194. President of Lithuania

ETA: Looked it up....

[Takket]

196. the things Trump does i expect from an ill behaved 5 year old, and would earn him punishment

but the deplorables made him president.

[lordsummerisle]

197. I'm embarrassed to be an American these days n/t

199. God!

God help us all. I don't even believe in imaginary people but god please help us..

[58Sunliner]

200. The comments in this thread are LOL. He has the stupidest look on his face.

So compulsive. Dementia: I've seen elderly folk who get intimidated, flustered, threatened by being in a crowd of people and they get anxious and angry. And they have this touch of petty narcissism that feeds their justification for being rude or abusive. Toddler-like. Throw in nasty and churlish.
You should all be looking at me!! Wow. Having to baby-sit a president.

[The Wielding Truth]

201. EEWWW! That's nasty!

[Warren DeMontague]

202. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the classy way the Bushes represented.

Sure, they'd barf on a prime minister or goof at the wrong door, but at least they'd apologize afterwards.

203. Hey @FLOTUS: How's that anti-bullying campaign going? ...

204. Somebody is going to bust him in the kisser, and the world will cheer except for

some ignorant white wingers who think bullying/intimidation will make us great.

[Lifelong Protester]

205. I'm so embarrassed.

[Demtexan]

206. Had he received news from back home.?

His son in law being a person of interest.

If so maybe he was a little bit angry.

Maybe caused a distraction.

He was angry with the woman who confronted him.

Good for her.

He is a ticking time bomb.

He barely kept it together.

That is why he did the tough guy act.

Keep poking him.

He will blow up.

I watched that video several times.

[Cha]

209. The asshole shoved Milo Đukanović outta the way so

he could get to the front and start preening like a peacock.

[onetexan]

210. THE UGLY AMERICAN

he had to be in the front and center for press pictures of course, so he just pushed another leader aside to hog the limelight. What an embarassment of a human being. I cannot bear acknowledging the fact he is our president - albeit an illegitimate one.

[sarge43]

211. My husband called that display "pigish".

I told him to stop insulting pigs.

That vulgarian in Lincoln's house - disgraceful.

215. Trump shoves foreign minister

Republican congressman assaults a news reporter.

Republicanism is quickly becoming a dangerously ignorant and violent cult with Trump leading the way.

[Stuart G]

216. Wait a minute..this can't be real..no one is that rude OR STUPD....FAKE NEWS..

FAKE NEW, FAKE NEWS...FAKE NEWS..FAKE NEWS...FAKE NEWS

YOU MADE THIS UP...THOSE ARE ACTORS...THIS IS FROM A BROADWAY SHOW..

THIS IS NOT REAL...THAT CANNOT BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....

NO, NO, NO, NO........................................time to hide..........

[Buns_of_Fire]

222. Well, at least SNL has their opening for this week.

I heard it said on one of the MSNBC shows this morning that he seems a lot more deferential to leaders of authoritarian countries (like Saudi Arabia) than he is to those from more democratically-oriented countries.

I think he's jealous as hell that he wound up "leader" of a country where the citizens can (and will) call him out for the asswipe he is without having their tongues cut out for it. So far.
