The man just cannot represent the USA internationally at any level with credibility and tact. He is a boor, interested only in his own perspective of the world. How sad that the USA, once a world leader, a guiding light other countries looked up to and TRUSTED, has fallen so low that it has started to be viewed as a pariah.
MAGArats, you must be proud.
Truly, this truly is a disaster, one that is not necessary at all
At some point it will become apparent to you guys that Trump's methods are working as intended to strengthen NATO and US-EU relationships.
That strong relationship must be built on respect and fairness, both of which are earned by standing up for what's right, and that is exactly what Trump is doing by pressuring the EU to step up their game on defense. NATO leaders have openly agreed with Trump on this position a number of times now, including during this recent visit.
Trump is purposefully ruffling feathers. He's trying to put his foot down and say "No seriously guys, a defense alliance should not mean one country shoulders 75% of the burden... get your act together. Now."
Trump is intentionally pushing them out of their comfort zone because years of keeping them in their comfort zone has not worked.
That's quite a stretch - wouldn't it be easier just to own your minor error? We'll overlook it if you do.
Or at least, transcend it. Defending it, on the other hand - not a good look.
11/16 is the abbreviation I believe you want to use to refer to the month and the year, not "Nov 16", which indicates November sixteenth to most readers..
you know I'm right as usual.

Reason: Rude
You can tell who is a real American and who isn't by whether or not they get their panties in a twist over what a bunch of mooching globalists think of the US.
Who gives a crap about "the world stage"?
The US wasn't formed to be some kind of performer to entertain audiences around the world. And we're not responsible for what other countries do or what their people think. The US is our HOME and the only reason our nation is exists is to safeguard our natural rights. That's it. Anything else is not within the charter of our government, our political association ends at the rights of the American citizen.
So what some pansy Eurotrash thinks of us...is as inconsequential as a gnat.

Trump was NEVER scheduled to go to the meeting. He didn't miss it -- he wasn't going.
That's his choice.
oh and I didn't see anything on MSM about this and I hate Trump.

Ah okay, this makes sense. I had first thought that maybe Trump was sick, since he seemed to be looking forward to this trip but he hadn't done much since he had gotten there. Turns out that secret service may not have let him go anywhere due to the assassination plot against Macron that was due to happen at any one of the events.

All prior indications were Trump was to partake in that meeting. He ducked it. Like the classless boor he is.
