Everybody is laughing at Trump.

[kentuck]

They think he is a fool, an immature child.

He went to the NATO summit with Putin's orders in his pocket. He threatened to withdraw all American troops from Europe. He stomped his foot and yelled that Greenland should belong to the United States. We need it for its resources. They were laughing behind his back.

He used to brag that the United States was not respected and were ridiculed by the world. His bluster and and his grandiose plans with his war in Iran have been blown to smithereens. This morning he said, "it's over. I'm through with them".

Even the Belgium soccer team was mocking him. They performed the fist-waving dance that Trump is known for, after their victory over the United States. He was humiliated on the world stage.

1. Knowing Trump's penchant for refusing to acknowledge criticism,

I would imagine him saying that the Belgium soccer team was paying homage to him, admiration, praise.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Congress passed a law in 2023 that specilly states he cannot remove us from NATO.

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48868


In 2023, Congress enacted a law that prohibits the President from "suspend[ing], terminat[ing], denounc[ing], or withdraw[ing] the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty"—which established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—without the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress. See Section 1250A of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, Pub. L. No. 118-31. This provision emerged against the backdrop of debates concerning the United States' policy toward NATO and whether the President possesses the power to withdraw the United States from treaties without receiving the legislative branch's approval.

4. He does whatever he wants whether it's legal or not. Nobody stops him.

[Escape]

8. Many here on DU still haven't figured that out, Diamond.

The LAW is not important to our dictator.. At this point, it's no more than a mild inconvenience to him. The courts can order that he and his cast of criminals obey the rules but there are no consequences when they refuse.

[hamsterjill]

16. Thank you for saying exactly what I was about to post.

I grow SO weary of the insistent posts that keep providing links to laws, etc. and posters believing with all their little hearts that Trump is bound by those laws. It's amazing how many even here on DU have not figured out that Trump pushes the envelope to see how far he can, and he generally gets away with it. He's broken more laws than anyone before him, and he's proud that he's getting away with it.

Case in point - has he paid E. Jean Carroll yet?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

17. One thing that might stop him

Is the fact he and his henchmen have decimated our intelligence agencies. Making us more susceptible to terrorist attacks and mayhem. But what he fails to recognize is that it also makes him and his cronies more susceptible to attack as well. Iran was known to have plotted his demise because of his assassination of Soleimani in Iraq. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't resurrected such plans. And now with Bill "I love to kiss Trump's ass" Pulte as DNI, our intelligence forces are essentially blind. It would be fitting that his lust for vengeance is what finally does him in.

5. that law will get to the supreme court

about the time putin visits his new capital in paris.

[evolves]

22. So what?

Who is going to enforce that law?

Congress passed a law saying that the entirety of the Epstein files were to be released in December 2025. It STILL hasn't happened. He does what he wants, his lackey "cabinet" props him up, and the GOP traitors in Congress look the other way.

The law doesn't mean shit anymore, except for us peons.

[AZLD4Candidate]

26. They passed a law required the Epstein Files to be released completely and unredacted.

There is a Domestic Emoluments Clause in Article Two.

That hasn't been respected either

[FalloutShelter]

3. Laughing is easy.

He needs to be gone.
I’m tired of snark and laughter.

[calimary]

14. THIS!!!

[agingdem]

24. What I find fascinating is the depth of humiliation the semi-sane

Republicans are willing to endure to stay in power because of a know-nothing insane vomit spewing sadist…if they’re brave enough to hold town halls, their constituents shout them down forcing them to flee the venue…when they’re cornered by the press and asked to comment on Trump’s latest insult, threat, or global embarrassment they say they haven’t kept up with the news…

My take is a few of the semi-sane Republicans are secretly looking for the Dems to sweep the House and put a stop to Trump’s psychopathic urges…do what they are too cowardly to do… shut Trump down…

[Bristlecone]

6. He will 100% target Belgium at some later date

He never lets a perceived slight go. No matter how small and no matter the cost to others.

[MLWR]

7. "They think he is a fool, an immature child."

And they're one hundred percent correct in that assessment.

[dave99]

34. They KNOW he is a fool, an immature child.

fixed it

[AverageOldGuy]

9. True . . . but irrelevant

Trump is POTUS until Inauguration Day 2029. He will not change. Look at everything he has trashed, fucked , and destroyed in 17 months. How much more damage will he do in the next 31 months?

We can tell all the truth about Trump we want to and it will change nothing.

[Billsdaughter]

10. We are in hell

Our nation is in great peril. It's obvious the mission is to destroy our country at Putin's behest. Our treasury robbed, our arms and apparatus pillaged, our economy in ruins, our alliances severed.

[Martin Eden]

11. I wouldn't laugh at an angry toddler holding the pin of a live hand grenade

Foremost on my mind would be taking that hand grenade away, and making sure the toddler never poses a danger again.

[ananda]

12. Trump has never understood that he's not the king of the world...

since he took the USA so easily.

His problem is that his brand of narcissism
compels him to want to take ownership of
everything and everybody that he comes
across in any way.

When he actually does this, he always fucks
it up, takes credit for doing it the best ever,
and then places the blame for the fuck ups
on someone and/or something else

He does this very well in the USA. But on the
world stage it's a whole nother thing.

Free world nations are strong, mighty, and united.
They have not been ruled or taken over by Trump
or Putin.

And Zelensky and Europe are in the process of
destroying Russia.

Good.

[mdbl]

13. I wonder if the US will ever regain any standing in the world after all this

and the destruction of our reputation isn't even over thanks to the asshole do-nothing GOP running the other branches.

[SamuelAdams]

15. It doesn't take away his power though.

He walked away from the ceasefire and we're back to war with Iran. Gas prices will spike again. We can mock him for his stupidity and incompetence but his actions still harm us.

[Dr. T]

18. My preferred name for that dance is

the Brain Floss.

[BidenRocks]

19. I need someone to explain the Second to me!

All the years and the NRAs bullshit, where is it!
The Tea Party? Don't Tread On Me?
This is the Governmental Overreach.
This is the Deep State, the takeover.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

These are the people who went Ape Shit for Operation Jade Helm.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Helm_15_conspiracy_theories

[ChicagoTeamster]

20. Reporters should ask him about the dance and bring up Obama's meetings with NATO

Point out that Obama wasn’t left standing alone at NATO. Tell Trump world leaders laugh at him behind his back. Then have their sources ask white house staff for pictures of ketchup stains on the walls of the white house.

[Martin68]

21. Perhaps even worse than laughter they are ignoring him like the crazy uncle at thanksgiving.

Trump's failure to force European and other countries to bend to his will through tariffs and his utter failure in Iran have exposed the US as an unreliable and ineffectual partner.

[maxsolomon]

23. I'm not laughing. NATO isn't either.

Yes, his schtick is tiresome and gob-smacking, but he is a SOCIOPATH.

He starts wars on "gut feelings", he tears up treaties on whims and grudges, he gaslights, he grifts, he has the military murder people on boats and laughs at ethics and laws.

I'd say the NATO leaders are deeply, deeply concerned because they cannot apply logic to his behavior.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

28. They act the same way....

one would act when facing a rabid dog. WHERE IS OUR ATTICUS FINCH?

[ChicagoTeamster]

25. As they should. And laugh at stooopid MAGA racists too.

[Scalded Nun]

27. This is no time for laughter. They need to protect themselves from us...and laughter won't do that.

[red dog 1]

29. Trump's stupid-looking "fist dance" reminds me of Elaine's crazy dance on Seinfeld..

[usedtobedemgurl]

30. The way he moves always reminds me of jerking off two other men! Watch a video

And tell me I am wrong.

[red dog 1]

31. Sorry, I cannot stand to watch that ugly bastard do his "fist dance"....to do so would actually cause nausea.

[usedtobedemgurl]

32. I get that. I hope you have a great day!

[red dog 1]

33. You too.
