BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - JULY 11: (From L to R, first row) German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May attend the opening ceremony at the 2018 NATO Summit at NATO headquarters on July 11, 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. Leaders from NATO member and partner states are meeting for a two-day summit, which is being overshadowed by strong demands by U.S. President Trump for most NATO member countries to spend more on defense.

The photo on the front page of Thursday’s Post-Gazette (July 12, “Tense NATO Summit”), showing the European leaders united in their focus while President Donald Trump appears to be distracted by something in the other direction, is truly prophetic. 

It speaks to a man who lives in his own world and has no clue as to what’s going on around him. God bless (and help) America.
