https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48868
In 2023, Congress enacted a law that prohibits the President from "suspend[ing], terminat[ing], denounc[ing], or withdraw[ing] the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty"which established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)without the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress. See Section 1250A of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, Pub. L. No. 118-31. This provision emerged against the backdrop of debates concerning the United States' policy toward NATO and whether the President possesses the power to withdraw the United States from treaties without receiving the legislative branch's approval.

Perhaps even worse than laughter they are ignoring him like the crazy uncle at thanksgiving.

This is no time for laughter. They need to protect themselves from us...and laughter won't do that.

Trump's stupid-looking "fist dance" reminds me of Elaine's crazy dance on Seinfeld..

That is NOT necessarily a GOOD THING. Matter of fact .... I distracts from the ONE THING that matters the most.

Everybody's laughin' at me. I don't hear a word they're sayin'. Only the echos of my mind.

You can't shame Trump. When they laugh at him, he thinks they're laughing with him.
