Fox News host Jesse Watters has some wrong ideas about how diplomacy works. Wednesday he criticized President Joe Biden for acting like a normal human being and not shoving world leaders out of his way at a NATO conference. Watters contrasted Biden’s behavior with that of Donald Trump, who actually DID shove world leaders out of the way so he could get a better position for a photo in 2017 during a NATO conference.

When Trump did this embarrassing stunt it was proof for most of us that he was unfit to be president, Uproxx noted.

But Watters thinks shoving folks out of the way is how a president should act. Thus he laid into Biden, who met with the NATO leaders in Lithuania this week, where the main topic of conversation was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And no, Biden didn’t shove anyone.

To Watters, behaving decently in a crowd of people is a sign of weakness.

“The American president usually dominates every room,” Watters said, per Mediaite. “When [George W.] Bush went overseas, he commanded authority (even though an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at his head during a 2008 conference in Baghdad). Every leader was trying to get facetime. Optics is always important in politics, especially overseas. The world’s watching.”

And Watters continued his Trump worship.

“Trump knew that — 2017, when all the leaders were heading to a photo op, Trump pushed the president [sic] of Montenegro out of the way so he could be front and center. Sorry, Montenegro, we got the F-35s. Biden doesn’t do that. Looks like a freshman on the first day of school.”

And this isn’t even the first time Watters has lauded Trump’s childish immaturity. He said more or less the same thing when Biden visited Brussels last year.

“Remember, he pushed the president [sic] of Montenegro out of the way so he could be upfront and center on stage — leading? Everybody knew there he was in charge,” Watters enthused. “Not Joe Biden. He’s not acting like a leader.”

Well, as someone who does not live in the U.S., I can tell you, the other world leaders at the event likely thought Trump was rude, self-important, and perhaps not the brightest bulb in the socket. See, the thing is, I’ve lived in Mexico. I’ve spent time in Panama. I’ve come to know a lot of people from all around the world, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that most of the rest of the world rarely even thinks much about the U.S.

Really, they don’t. I’ve asked. Believe me, I’ve asked. Most folks in my neighborhood go about their day tending to their house, their family, and their jobs. In that order. People like Watters act like the U.S. is SO IMPORTANT to the rest of the world and nothing could be further from the truth.

And as far as Donald Trump being strong and supposedly manly, he wears more pancake makeup than anyone at Estee Lauder and fiddles with his pathetic, stupid-looking hair when he really should just give that up.

In order for diplomacy to work, leaders need to be able to discuss a situation in a mature fashion.

Something that Donald Trump doesn’t know how to do.
