When NATO leaders talked about Trump on the sidelines of the conference, it was not the first time Trump became a target of ridicule.
At the reception on the sidelines of a NATO summit at Buckingham Palace on the evening of December 3, the leaders of England, Canada, France and the Netherlands were recorded by the camera on conversations that mocked Trump too much press conference. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that French President Macron was late because Trump was absorbed in responding to the media 40 minutes when the two leaders met bilaterally and said "his team was gasping in shock". Trudeau and the other leaders did not mention Trump's name directly and did not seem to realize he was being filmed.
Trump later described Trudeau as a "double-sided person". The US president hinted at Trudeau mocking himself because he complained that Canada's defense spending has not reached its NATO target of 2% of GDP.
Trudeau then clarified the context of the conversation between him and NATO leaders, explaining that it was worth noting that an unplanned press conference took place before his meeting with Trump. Trudeau said he was not interested in whether his comments about Trump could influence US-Canada relations.
A spokesman for French President Macron said "the video did not say anything special". Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte spokesman refused to answer questions related to the closed session. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted it was "unreasonable" to say that the video showed he did not respect Trump.
Last year, speaking to the United Nations, Trump asserted that his administration had the most accomplishments in American history despite having been in office for less than two years, some of the representatives below laughed. Trump stopped the speech, asserting "indeed", making the laughter more evident. The US president looked around the auditorium and said, "I did not expect such a reaction, but it was okay."
The US president then told reporters: "We had fun. They didn't laugh at me, they just laughed at me. Everyone had an enjoyable time with me."
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the meeting attendees did not find the statement "ridiculous", but were amused by his honesty. "They liked his honesty. It was not polite and polite and they were amused. They were surprised because he was very honest."
A leaked recording on social media shows Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull parodying Trump's signature style of talking with journalists and politicians at the Australian parliament's annual event in June. 2017. This is a closed event and should not have been recorded.
"Donald and I, we are winning. Not at fake polls. Any poll that shows we didn't win is a fake. Too easy to win," Turnbull said while the audience laughed and clap.
He later explained that this was just an unintentional joke and that party jokes are what most people do.
The Nordic leaders in 2017 also mimicked the picture of Trump and the Saudi leader putting his hands on a glowing sphere. The Nordic leaders used a soccer ball instead of the ball.
"Who rules the world? Riyadh or Bergen," Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg joked on social media.
Also in 2017, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that at the East Asia Summit gala dinner dinner, Trump patted the person next to him, pointed at her and said, "This woman is causing a lot of discomfort." their country ", referring to the election.
"Well, only 40%, no one will march in protest when I am elected," said Prime Minister Ardern. Her comments can be interpreted as ironic that Trump faced many protest protests when he took office.
"He smiled, then I realized that the sentence could be understood in a bad way, but he did not seem upset," she said.
