Trump to attend NATO summit in May...

Is he going to sulk and pout, and not want to handshake with leaders?



The White House on Tuesday night confirmed that President Trump will attend a gathering of NATO leaders in Brussels in May, a move that could help reassure U.S. allies about his administration's commitment to Europe's security.

Trump will participate in the meetings on May 25, press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement, adding that the president "looks forward to meeting with his NATO counterparts to reaffirm our strong commitment to NATO, and to discuss issues critical to the alliance, especially allied responsibility-sharing and NATO’s role in the fight against terrorism."

I am 1st of All, mortified that he's going to totally embarrass himself & the US, there.
2nd, I suspect he'll damage relationships beyond all repair.
This ain't goood.
I'm liking the 'house arrest' idea a LOT, right now.

He will be so pissed that he has to do this instead of visiting Putin that he will insult them beginning to end.

But seriously, he will be so far out of his league and in over his head. More embarrassment for America.

Or will he sit somewhere tweeting about the pathetic lack of gold-plated toilets in his quarters?

Tillerson, we don't have to worry about. He'll be taking a nap somewhere, poor fatigued baby.

why is he going he wants to dismantle NATO doesn't he? Will Pootie be there?

I just remembered isn't Tillerson not going to this instead he will be going to Russia? hmmm..............the story will be that 45 is going and Tillerson will be meeting with Putin. Very suspicious indeed.

An arrest warrant may already have been served on him by May.

A deal will be cut to keep the traitor out of jail, while removing him permanently from from influencing anything government related. Rumpy has cut these deals all his life, so it won't be too bigly for him to sign on the dotted line. JMHO.
