Insignificant people, make way

The latest moment from President Donald Trump’s trip abroad to go viral is a brief video which appears to show Trump moving aside another NATO leader so he can be front and center in a photo.

 

The moment, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Trump putting his hand on Dusko Markovic, the prime minister of Montenegro, and stepping around the him before adjusting his jacket.

 

A number of social media users have criticized the president for the move, including filmmaker Ava DuVernay, who shared the video on Twitter with the caption, “A class act. A statesman. A real gentleman.”

Insignificant people, make way
for the clown from the U.S. of A.
as he jockeys and shoves
to the spotlight he loves:
“Look at me all day long every day!”

On NATO, he swivels with ease

“It was almost as if Trump’s outsider presidential campaign never happened as he rushed to embrace mainstream political and national security positions he once publicly abhorred.”

On NATO, he swivels with ease
A hundred and eighty degrees.
It makes one’s head whip—
Now, let’s see him flip
On climate and banned refugees.
