Look at the faces of the heads of nations gathered around Obama. Respect, jockeying for position, and envy. Obama commanded the respect and deference that Trump dreams of getting.

When the NATO leaders look at Trump, they see a fool that they can trick and easily out-maneuver. They see an ally they can't trust or depend upon. We see it in their faces. This is not good for the US.
