“When President Trump stepped off his plane in Ankara on Tuesday afternoon, he received an over-the-top welcome comparable only to the one the pope got when he visited Turkey late last year,” the New York Times reports.
“President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was there on the tarmac to greet him — the Turkish autocrat did this for none of the other more than 30 world leaders who arrived in Ankara for a NATO summit — accompanied by dozens of Turks on horseback. A band played ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ as cannons fired and fighter jets flew low overhead trailing streaks of red, white and blue smoke.”
“The second Mr. Trump landed on his Qatari-gifted jumbo jet, the center of gravity at the summit shifted right to where Mr. Trump likes it best: himself.”
