Amid reports that diplomats and world leaders are beside themselves over Donald Trump’s threats at the NATO conference in Turkey, the president attempted Wednesday to spin the meeting as a lovefest.

Sound raspy and looking tired, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, looking over his shoulder, the president, as is his custom, departed from his prepared notes to claim that he is quite the popular guy with his counterparts.

President Donald Trump will fly his aging Air Force One out of Turkey, ditching the Qatari-gifted jet he calls "the world's most luxurious plane," a decision experts suggest was made based on security equipment concerns.

Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday that he'd fly the old plane from Turkey to the UK — sending the new jet ahead separately so U.S. troops could tour it. "For old time's sake," he wrote.

World leaders and diplomats attending the NATO meetings were correct in worrying that an “angry and exhausted” Donald Trump would disrupt the proceedings and their fears came true after an outburst from the president about the Iran war, combined with new complaints, creating fresh concerns.

Reporting from the meetings in Turkey, reporter Ines de La Cuerta told the "Morning Joe" panel that the American president has everyone on edge.

President Donald Trump repeatedly erred while talking to reporters at his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday, referring to him as "Putin" — then trying to reword things to make it sound intentional.

"Do you have a question for President Putin?" asked Trump, as the reporters buzzed. "Do you have a question for President Putin?" he pointed at Zelensky.

President Donald Trump repeatedly called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by the wrong name at a NATO summit press conference Wednesday.

"You have a question for President Putin?" Trump asked reporters.

President Donald Trump's administration resumed open hostilities against Iran on Tuesday, abandoning the soon-to-expire ceasefire memorandum after declaring Iran to be in "clear violation" for attacks on commercial ships, and striking back against multiple targets.

The news prompted an explosion on social media, with many of Trump's supporters cheering the new attacks on, but others being less confident or supportive.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became combative on CNN Tuesday when host Dana Bash put him on the spot about the “suffering" in Gaza.

Towards the end of the nearly 30-minute interview, the CNN host admonished him by saying there were two sides in the conflict that have put Israel in the spotlight of becoming a pariah nation.

While President Donald Trump promised Iranian protesters "help is on the way," his administration secretly handed their immigration files to the government they had fled, a new lawsuit charges.

The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund and Public Citizen filed the suit Tuesday in federal court in Washington against Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director David Venturella, and their agencies.

Following Donald Trump dismissing questions about the Iran war quagmire the U.S. is stuck in during a press availability preceding NATO talks in Turkey, retired United States Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling pounced on the president for parroting Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.

After live coverage of the question and answer period concluded on MS NOW, host Stephanie Ruhle noted, “General, let's start right there with the president's comments with regard to the war with Iran; he said, it is ‘not even a war, it's just a military operation.’”
