A fun thought about the upcoming NATO meeting

News reports have told us that internal memos from the Trump administration have advised foreign heads of state that their comments at the NATO meeting (to be attended by Trump) should be 2 to 4 minutes in length. This is because Trump doesn't have the ability to focus on anything-- other than himself-- for more than a few moments.

Wouldn't it be great if the NATO representatives gave their usual speeches which probably run 30-45 minutes? Trump would be bored out of his skull but he couldn't leave. The cameras would be on him and the trove of images would be epic.

But I know it won't happen. If Trump felt he had been dissed, he'd have the US withdraw from NATO.

Trump is an idiot.

should have to pay deference to tRump, doubly so when the reason is that he has a short attention span.

Accommodate his lack of capability & refusal to prepare appropriately for the tasks at hand....,


How about everyone maintain the established standards and expectations so that 45 can witness how the real world of International Relations is approached by authentic national leaders.....
