"Then that morning before he boarded that plane, they said, well, we might get at each other's throats again."WHITE HOUSE DROPS 'DADDY'S HOME' MEME AFTER VIRAL NATO SUMMIT MOMENTFrustrated by the warring nations putting the ceasefire at risk, Trump made pointed remarks to both countries before leaving to attend the NATO summit.RUBIO CRACKS UP AT TRUMP'S REACTION TO NATO LEADER CALLING PRESIDENT 'DADDY'"We basically have two countries that have been fighting for so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing," he told reporters shortly before departing for Europe.Trump discussed his disappointment with both Israel and Iran for resuming some level of fighting.
