Donald Trump is a wimp. But there is more to this story than him or people making fun of him. More than how he has diminished the presidency and weakened the US. It shows world leaders are tiring of his show and have learned something about how to deal with him.
They once thought the key to managing Trump was stroking his ego. They then discovered that only encourages him to behave more badly and ultimately to remind everyone that he is loyal to no one but himself. But Macron learned as Merkel did first, that the key...
...to dealing with Trump is not to play his game, not to be cowed by him, to speak your mind, and to challenge him. Once people stop fearing the bully he loses relevance. That is what happened at this NATO. Trump, revealed and understood, became irrelevant as a world leader.
