As you may know, President Donald Trump is currently in Brussels for the NATO summit and things are going about as well as you'd expect.
However, at a breakfast meeting with the NATO secretary general Wednesday morning, Trump appeared to even take his own people by surprise with his remarks.
While the cameras were running, the president of the United States said Germany is "totally controlled by Russia."

TFW your boss starts saying something, but you can only focus on the emptiness of your plate and the disappointment to come.
When you just can't take the fact that you're not going to get a hearty, all-American meal.
