Donald Trump took his first trip abroad and made a total ass of himself every step of the way. Now, thanks to his inability to even pretend he has good sense, we are officially having to apologize to the world for the fact that our president is “an idiot.”
Eli Stokols, White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal, took to Twitter to reveal that national security officials are scrambling to clean up the multitude of messes Trump made overseas.
Sounds like the adults in the GOP national security world are really in cleanup mode tonight after Trump’s performance today…

Just got this text from GOP natsec official: “Had to apologize to a European defense attaché just now. ‘I’m sorry. He’s an idiot.’”

Per same source, European counterparts are “not in a forgiving mood.” Especially w/ Russia set for a massive “exercise” in the Baltics.

Such exercises, source continues, “are often covers for offensive ops.
“This is how wars get started.”

So Trump has put Tillerson, Mattis & McMaster in a much more difficult position than they already were.

Also, remarkable that Trump’s own aides are reassuring allies/contradicting Trump (!) about Article V support on the trip…

And yet, no firm position on Russia sanctions. Undermines Mattis’ Feb. NATO reassurance tour in a big way.

Trump topped off his first international trip by shoving a prime minister out of his way during a NATO gathering and proclaiming that “Germans are bad, very bad.”

Hell, even the pope looked like God was testing him when he was forced to be in Trump’s presence.
