According to reporters, Trump thanked the Finnish president for his support and said the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has never been stronger.

“I enjoyed being with you a couple of days ago. NATO has, I think, never been stronger. It was a little bit tough at the beginning, but it turned out to be love. I appreciated your support,” Trump said in his opening remarks.

Finland, however, is not in NATO.

He just opens his mouth and says words. Bigly words. The best words. The MOST words.

5. Does he even have an ambassador to Finland yet?

Last I knew, he hadn't gotten around to appointing a great many ambassadors. And I wouldn't be surprised if he chose Frederick Douglass.

7. If less tax $ is spent on diplomats salaries, the more Trump family

and cabinet members have for international travel. Half-assed ambassadors.

Trump seems to have it all worked out.

8. On the news it said he's in New Jersey again playing golf

Despite having caused yet another huge controversy. Are the taxpayers paying off the airports in New Jersey for lost revenue too, or was that just Florida?

6. Finland attended the NATO Summit as a non-member state

They are considered an "active partner" though not a member.
