Spanky is flapping his gums again, bragging about *his* leadership

of NATO and talking about how much money they've "collected" because of him (which isn't how NATO works). He broke into Jens Stoltenberg's remarks to insist that he give him credit for increased defense spending. Stoltenberg diplomatically thanked him for his help.

What a douche.

"Whatever you read that isn't fake news is true."

Also, I just learned that nobody from the US before him has ever tried to negotiate trade agreements with China.

other countries get away with murder," slamming not only China but the EU.



As he sits there next to the Sec Gen of NATO, former PM of Norway.

I wish the cameras would pan to the Sec Gen because I'd love to see his facial expressions, but I suppose he's too much of a diplomat to roll his eyes too obviously.

God, I hate him more than anything!

Has anybody sat his fat ass down yet to explain to him how NATO works? Or does it just go in one ear and out the other?

Not only does he brag about himself ad nauseam, but he can't even seem to do that without putting others down. He always has to make someone else look bad while promoting himself. The true sign of a weak, insecure individual.

How can anybody can pat himself on the back so hard without dislocating his shoulder? He still doesn't seem to understand how NATO works - it doesn't "collect" any money at all. Now he's busting on Germany for not "contributing" as much as it should, and for importing gas from Russia. Wants NATO to improve its counterterrorism capabilities because there was hardly any terrorism 20-30 years ago and now there is. Iran is behind all terrorism. He just used his favorite word, "reciprocal." It isn't fair that the US does everything.

What a diplomat.
