I see he's just as much of an asshole overseas as he is in the US.

Expects the whole world to fall at his feet.

but he doesn't get his desperately-craved ego-fluffing elsewhere (which might be a major reason that he doesn't like to travel). He isn't getting his narcissistic supply, so he's frustrated and angry and he turns up his assholery to 11.

he made some asshole remark like, “oh here we go, a question from the fake news”. Very derogatory statements to the US reporters. He’s such a puke. 🤬 🤬 🤬

just makes him look like a fool. These reporters need a thick skin.

He probably has no idea what the European press has to say about him.

...note how he does his little preening Mussolini impression right after he pushes the Montenegro PM out of the way. Then he appears to speak in a rude, dismissive manner to another world leader.

I also noticed how everyone else has their coat buttoned except for Trump. That's probably because his doesn't fit. (This is the pre-Ozempic Trump of 2017).
