Trump’s Unhinged NATO Act Turned a World Summit Into a Zoo

“America, get your boy. He’s broken. He has lost his mind. He needs to be under a doctor’s care back home.”

Looking into the eyes of NATO leaders and guests like Volodomyr Zelensky who had to endure meetings with President Trump at the North Atlantic alliance’s latest summit in Turkey, you could almost hear their pleas. You could see their pain.

Also, their anger and frustration.

“How much longer of this do we have to endure? Please keep this lunatic away from sharp objects. Please keep him away from me.”

Trump’s trip to the NATO summit was not just the latest fiasco in his all-fiasco-all-the-time agenda for his second term. It was a shocking display of his ever more egregious unfitness to be president. Or walking around in public.

Doesn’t anyone love this man? Doesn’t anyone care about his well-being? Won’t anyone stop grandpa from doddering across the sixteen-lane freeway of public life he’s currently attempting to navigate?

Unfortunately, we know the answer to that question. No one cares about him. Those who defend him publicly only do so to ensure they get that last little droplet of power or grift out of their association with the man who holds what once was considered the most powerful job in the world.

If anyone had an ounce of compassion for Trump, they would be ensuring he got proper mental health care—or at the very least, they would tuck him away in the same undisclosed location where zombie Mitch McConnell is currently being refrigerated.

Instead, we are left with a report on his trip that looks more like a casualty list than the readout of a diplomatic summit.

Perhaps the biggest headline out of the summit was Trump asserting that the ceasefire with Iran was over. He also called the leaders of Iran “scum.”........
