‘Rude AF and Dumb Af’: Trump Snaps When He Realizes the Attention Isn’t on Him, Pushes His Way to the Front, Forcibly Shoving One Man Aside Catching Him Completely Off Guard

Posted byBy Angelina Velasquez | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Donald Trump contradicts the sentiment that with time comes maturity as he continues to grow increasingly arrogant. The U.S. president can’t fake humility and has a deficit of compassion for others — but attention and money, well, they both turn him into a showman, especially on world stages.

The more eyes locked on the 79-year-old, the more brazen he’ll become; it’s a performance millions witnessed during his reign as a New York playboy real estate developer and, even now, during his second presidency. Not even meeting with foreign allies could bring the decorum out of the reality TV star.

Trump’s desire to be the star of everyone’s gaze has critics dragging him for filth on social media.

The occasion was his first meeting with world leaders as commander in chief. Footage showed him plowing through the crowd of dignitaries and forcibly shoving Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic aside before taking a group photo.

Dusko was caught off guard by Trump manhandling him. He contorted his face into a smile and appeared open to dialogue that never transpired. Instead, the American businessman took up space in the front of the group, all the while cameras flashed, capturing his every move, including the way he glared at then-Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite.

Photographers, in the 2017 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit in Brussels, zoomed out as he smugly tugged at his suit coat and then stacked his hands in front of his bulging abdomen. When the Instagram account Elite Mind Vision reposted a clip of the incident last week, Trump’s supporters were thrilled to re-witness him assert his position amongst leaders.

They commented things like, “An absolute beast! Someone who knows how to take control,” and “Go on Don show em who’s the final Boss.” MAGA detractors condemned his leadership flaws. “This is NOT confidence or leadership. It’s rudeness dressed as power. True leaders make space, rude ones take it. Power doesn’t need to push,” an Instagram user wrote.

A second observer commented, “He really thought he did something lol such a childish old man.” A third person quipped that Trump’s undignified conduct was the “A-hole movement of the decade.” Another person said, “Rude af and dumb af.”

At the time, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer claimed, “I have not seen the video,” when asked to comment on Trump strong-arming Dusko. According to People, who viewed a press report from the conference, the president’s disregard for the prime minister was echoed in other beahviors.

“Some of the leaders interacted with one another on stage, but not Trump. He stood silently, shifting his stance at moments and looking around,” they claimed. “Trump smiled for a brief moment, but otherwise kept a serious, perhaps even stern, expression on his face for the duration of the photo opp.”

The cantankerous elected official reportedly declined to participate in Dusko’s suggestion to wave at the camera for a photo. Nearly nine years later, Trump kicked off 2026 by making threats to annex Greenland. The country is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a founding member of NATO. Other inflammatory remarks include him casting doubt on the organization’s loyalty to the U.S.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
