Trump Turns G-7 into a Reality Show

[Jehanne]

Really, there's no other way to put it. Donald Trump arrived in Canada for the annual G-7 summit ready to put on a show (and thus, to distract attention from the likelihood that he had no chance of accomplishing anything). For those who wanted some entertainment, they certainly got it. For those who wanted some actual diplomacy, not so much.

The day began with Trump arriving late to the talks, for the second day in a row, and then leaving early so that he could skip out on a discussion of global warming. He knew, of course, that there was no chance that part of the program was going to work out well for him.

This is not to say that Trump was time-constrained, however, because on the way out of town, he found time to hold a lengthy press conference, in his usual rambling style. Actually, it may have been a bit more rambling than usual; at least one reporter present said he was alarmed about the President's mental state, and declared, "He did not look well to me." Note that the reporter was from CNBC, and the linked story is Fox News, so we're not exactly talking about left-wing outlets doing a little projecting here.

The above emphasis is mine; if Trump is so convinced the "global warming" is a hoax, why leave early?
