Watch: Trump Won’t Let Any European Leader Stand in Front of Him at NATO Meeting

President Trump headed out for a NATO group photo only to find the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Duško Marković, standing in front of him.

So the President went alpha male on Marković, and showed him who the real top dog is – pushing him aside and getting to the front of the pack.

The liberal media is calling this a shove, which is what you’d expect snowflakes to say. It’s really nothing more than Trump getting a little bit aggressive in his zeal to get to the front of the photo.

It’s actually pretty damn funny. Take a look …

CNBC reporter Steve Kopack slowed down the incident a bit for viewers …

Via the Daily Mail:

A Trump moment went viral for the wrong reason on Thursday as he and the leaders of 27 other NATO member countries assembled for a photo at the treaty organization’s gleaming new Brussels, Belgium headquarters.

Trump made his way through the group to take his position in the front row next to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Montenegro’s Prime Minister Duško Marković was in his way.

So Trump put his hand on Marković’s upper arm and shoved him aside.

‘Shove’ seems just a touch strong. You can see in the video that Marković, while taken aback at first, quickly smiles and gives Trump a pat on the back.

Besides, if anyone wants to see a Trump shove …

Come to think of it, that’s probably how reporters are visualizing the NATO photo op incident in their minds.

For most of his encounter with NATO, Trump wasn’t in the mood to cave in to other world leaders. The President told NATO he would not support a common defense provision, then told them that member nations weren’t contributing enough to the effort.

When all was said and done, President Trump ended up where he belonged for the group photo – right up front – while the Prime Minister of Montenegro was in the back row to the far right.

Marković’s country doesn’t become a member until June 5th.

Funny or rude? Tell us what you think of the Trump ‘shove.’
