Donald Trump's happiest moments at the NATO summit

The best time.

President Donald Trump met with European leaders and attended his first NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday, and boy did he have a great time.

While there, Trump shoved Montenegro's Prime Minister Dusko Markovic so that he could get a better spot for a photo opportunity, and he also scolded a bunch of US allies. It was a great time for all -- the best time -- and we have the pictures to prove that Trump enjoyed it very much and there were no awkward moments whatsoever.

No awkward small talk here.

Previously, Trump claimed that NATO was "obsolete" but he has since changed his mind.
