Trump's Rude Shove Is Going Viral in the News [View all]

Do a Google news search for Trump shoves. In just the past half an hour, the story and video of Trump shoving aside the Prime Minister of Montenegro to push to the front of a group of other NATO leaders has leaped to the top of the news, both in the US and internationally. And that's just the beginning. Before much more time has passed, it will lead the news everywhere.

That video will also, no doubt, be the lead-in video for the major network news this evening.

Way to go, Donald! You've made the office of Boor-in-Chief of the United States famous with your rude, churlish behavior.

That video will be the take-away from the NATO conference. Bravo, Donald! Bravo!
