A group of Nordic prime ministers is mocking an image of President Trump and Saudi Arabian King Salman touching a glowing orb during Trump's visit to Riyadh last week, reenacting the photo with a European football.

The leaders, including the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland, stood around a soccer ball, each touching it.

The ministers were meeting in Norway to discuss cooperation among the countries, according to the Swedish news source Sveriges Radio.

Trump and Salman were photographed touching a glowing orb at the opening of a terrorism monitoring center, which quickly went viral.

7. The Danish prime minister was not enjoying this

Our Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen will happily follow any president of the USA straight to Hell. He might be part of a funny photo, but is still very happy for Trump. Even more since he called Trump, who again misunderstood everything. Trump said: "I'm on the phone with the King of Denmark!"

11. Sadder that his base doesn't give a fig

They don't care one wit if the President of the United States is looked on as a fool by other countries citizens and leaders.
Because it must be that he's so much more smarter than they are. That it must be a sign he is on the right track to be so despised. Liking our President as they did Obama, is taken as a warning sign that the office is not standing up hard enough for the US's positions. Hate is good.

It is what the GOP has nurtured and their base has devolved into. That everyone is out to get them and the only way to be is in a constant state of aggression and railing against any kind of cooperative approach. The GOP has done it all through Clintons and Obama's terms, and their base has taken up the mantel on the ground.

Such a stressful way to live.
