During his first joint meeting with North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders, President Trump on Thursday appeared to push aside the prime minister of Montenegro.
In a video of the interaction, the president comes up from behind and then shoves Montenegro's Dusko Markovic to get to the front of the group of world leaders. Trump then adjusts his jacket

Markovic appears to be taken aback at first, but after seeing that it was Trump, he smiles and pats Trump on the back.
When asked about the incident, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said, "I have not seen the video."
He also noted that the standing order for the photo op was pre-determined, as usual.
Twitter, as always, had some thoughts

Stupid Spice doesn't see much of anything. guess it's hard behind the bushes.

I wish someone had turned to him and told him to back the fuck up.

11. What did Trump growl at that lady?

There was this smiling lady who seemed to be giving Trump a mild reproof. He pointed at her and snarled something at her and turned back to his tough-guy pose. It looked like he was growling "Mind your own business."

12. He'd never do that to Putin.

13. The worst part was

he never even looked at the Prime Minister. He just shoved him aside as if he were a piece of furniture in the way - did not even acknowledge him as a human being. Then stuck his nose in the air as he "adjusted" his jacket.

Mr. Entitlement.

15. Oh swell...a post that normalizes Trump's behavior

That ought to calm things down. Yup, the shove was a perfectly normal way for the president to behave.

Glad the USAToday today could remind us that what we saw really wasn't what we saw.

16. He is such a complete boorish asshole, my parents would have hated him

My parents are both dead now, and they raised me to be POLITE, like most of you also. I am ashamed he is the President. Worse than Bush even, and I felt I had to apologize for Bush. Doubly so for AssholeOrangeTrump.

[MBS]

20. My feelings as well.

He's actually WAY worse than Bush. In addition to his dangerous policies on every front, and the unprecedented corruption and shameless conflict of interest of his entire so-called "administration," I am so ashamed at the thought of him representing my country to the world. He is unfit in every way to be president.

19. Hew did it for Putin

Putin has a beef with Montenegro's Prime Minister.
