World leaders let loose at the Buckingham Palace reception on the sidelines of the NATO summit earlier this week and appeared to enjoy riveting gossip about Trump’s conduct at the conference.
.@JustinTrudeau, @EmmanuelMacron, @BorisJohnson and other VIPs shared a few words at a Buckingham Palace reception Tuesday. No one mentions @realDonaldTrump by name, but they seem to be discussing his lengthy impromptu press conferences from earlier in the day. (Video: Host Pool) pic.twitter.com/dVgj48rpOP

Not to be left out, US politicians, such as former Vice President Joe Biden and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, took advantage of the situation.
