Italian Newspaper Headline Tells It Like It Is About Trump

Just like his stupid attack on Iran, President Dealmaker just blew up his relationship with one of his closest European allies for no good reason. As we’ve previously reported , Donald Trump insulted Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni by claiming she had “begged” him to take a picture of them together at the G7 summit. He said he had only done so because he had “felt sorry” for her. The backlash was swift and fierce. Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani canceled a planned visit to the U.S. this weekend.
