Former EU Council chief Donald Tusk fired a shot at Donald Trump today by tweeting a photo of himself pretending to point a gun into the back of the US president. The ex-European Council chief waded into the diplomatic row which blew up at this week's Nato summit after Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron were caught mocking Trump behind his back. After the President stormed from the gathering of heads of government in London last night, Tusk appeared to heap yet further ridicule on the humiliated US leader by sharing a picture of himself purportedly mimicking to press a handgun into Trump's back.

This EU Council guy knows that President Trump has encouraged the Brits to Brexit, and promised them that the US will be a pleasant trade partner. If the EU collapses, he is afraid of losing his fat retirement program. That is why he is acting like a juvenile.

If that was his intention, he did it wrong. His thumb would be up, not down. Looks to me like he was getting ready to poke President Trump's back to get his attention. Silly Euro-weenie.

Humiliated, who says he's humiliated? Tusk humiliated himself by not facing Trump with his threatening gesture.
Tusk is a coward.

If a child did this at any public school in this country he or she would be facing a suspension or worse. This immature man does it to our president and he's hailed a hero by the left.

I said it yesterday, annd will repeat it today. These weenies need us a lo more than we need them. Not only should we get out of the UN ( and the UN out of the US), nut we should also get out of NATO. Does anyone believe those weenies would come to our aid if we were attacked. Let Russia have them, and all their muzzies.

I can't tell by looking at him, but has Former EU Council chief Donald Tusk ever seen a boomerang?

#6, we can get the UN out of the US, and we can stop paying but we cannot exit the UN. We have the ability to veto any UN action that we don't like and if we got out we would lose that and never get it back. And then the UN would be an anti-American thug setup without our veto, instead of an anti-American thug setup with our veto.
We can't leave until the UN is dead.

"... Tusk appeared to heap yet further ridicule on the humiliated US leader ...". Another way of putting it is that these so-called "world leaders" are childish cowards who act like scared little girls too afraid to face the President of the United States.

I can't speak to protocol, to get one's attention from behind, touch his arm or shoulder or just say something?
Had to look bad to any SS agents who may have only seen silhouettes.

The wise guy Tusk might as well forget about having any sort of a relationship with President Trump over the next five years. Tusk is lucky he did not find himself laying on the floor with several US Secret Service Agent’s sitting on him. If he could play the wise guy with Trump, he could also do the same with Queen Elizabeth, and you have to wonder how the Brits. would have reacted to that?

His thumb would be pointing up if it was a gun. That's a definite KNIFE! He sent a message that he will stab him in the back at the right opportunity.

That man disrespected our country and our President.
Please President Trump. Payback. Make it discreet, painful and permanent.
Bet he does too.

#13, the Brits didn’t even get outraged at the London Bridge terrorist being released early & killing two people. Not a peep
at this totally preventable crime. I doubt it.

It is unfortunate that, at times, a journalist plants a seed, and some readers accept “the seed” without considering other possibilities. Looking at the photo carefully, Mr. Tusk appears to be looking to his right, perhaps toward the individual talking with President Trump; the placement of his fingers, rather than his entire hand, at President Trump’s back may be nothing more than not wanting to walk into the President. Also, Angela Merkel’s looking back toward Mr. Tusk suggests she may have been watchful of where they all were heading.
Mr. Tusk, a former first two-term Prime Minister of Poland, “...became a devotee of free-market capitalism” and looked “...to Western Conservatives Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan as role models. ... In 2001 he formed another center-right market-oriented policy, Civic Platform (PO).” Based on his credentials and the content of his tweet, “Despite seasonal turbulences our transatlantic friendship must last.” That verbiage does not seem confrontational—it may be an expression of understanding the tensions of the real world and intended to be conciliatory.
