Trump met with world leaders at a NATO summit on Wednesday (Image: Getty Images)An expert lip reader has claimed that Donald Trump dropped another f-bomb while on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague as he fumed about the world leaders he'd be meeting.
The US President huddled on Wednesday with members of a NATO alliance that he has been working to bend to his will in recent years as he reaffirmed his commitment to their pledge to defend each other in the wake of escalating tensions between the US and Iran. While Trump was always likely to be the center of attention at the event, lip reading expert Nicola Hickling has exclusively told us his feelings on a stressful week for the president.

"As they're walking together he mutters bluntly: 'They’re f------ idiots,'" Nicola said. It comes as new dementia fears were raised about Donald Trump after viewers spotted a mysterious clue in his suit.

He states plainly, 'I am so mad, freaking idiots' before swatting the air with a dismissive gesture, signalling to the gathered press and photographers that he has no interest in engaging. The body language is unmistakable he’s shutting it down."
Nicola notes: "As he begins to ascend the steps, he delivers one final remark: 'I want to be alone.' His tone is cold, his stride determined."
It's unclear who Trump is referring to - as it could be NATO leaders, Iran, Israel, or the "scum" media he targeted.
The lip reader also examined a conversation between Mark Rutte (the Secretary General of NATO), Croatia's President Zoran Milanovic and Netherlands' Prime Minister Dick Schoof - and noted they appeared to be mocking the US president during the summit.

What a tosser. He wants to meet in France and speak there.”
Schoof said: “Are you mad?”, seemingly both incredulous and concerned. Milanovic reportedly responded: “It depends what he wants.” Schoof again, almost laughing in disbelief, said: “You are mad.” Milanovic shrugged: “Obviously it affects the world, doesn’t it?” Rutte confirmed: “Yes, it does.”

Just moments before leaving the White House on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that Israel and Iran “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f— they're doing.”
The dramatic moment saw him become the first US president to drop the f-bomb on live TV.
