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.

Trump Turns G-7 into a Reality Show

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

The man has no honor. What more is there to say at this point?

You mean the G-6 meeting?

This picture is interesting. When I first saw it I immediately saw Merkel as a schoolteacher berating a petulant and naughty schoolboy. Trump and his supporters on the other hand would see the picture in terms of his fantasy about everyone taking advantage of America and how he's stopping them and standing sitting up to them.

Oh and the photoshopping has started

Ha!  A UCLA academic created that web article!!  Of course, Trump wants to turn the G6 back into the G7.  Good catch, though.

Trudeau 'stabbed us in back' on trade, says Trump chief economic adviser

“Potus [the president of the United States] is not going to let a Canadian prime minister push him around – push him, Potus around, on the eve of this,” Kudlow said.

They're trying to paint Trump as the most important man in the world far beyond any other world leader when he's being largely ignored. A complete difference in perspective. The narrative of the Trump administration seems to be that the entire world is against Trump and he's the only one that can stand up for America. It's text book fascist indoctrination.

Looks like Merkel is leader of the free world now.

POTUS already let a Canadian prime minister push him out of the G7.

Next up, POTUS lets rocket man with nuke push him out of the Korean Peninsula.

Only the WLB is allowed to stab allies in the back, it seems.  Well, we brought this on ourselves and now we deserve to get it good and hard.

[Amarok]

That's utter nonsense Trudeau would never stab someone in the back . He punches them in the face over and over till their face is no longer a face .

Unfortunately for the Trumptards, it's very hard to spin his posture and demeanor in the above photo as anything other than a spoilt little shit getting dressed down and not liking it one bit.

Oh, yeah. The result of the summit will be "In return for giving up nukes we have decided to let the DPRK return to their original and UN mandated 35th parallel borders, meaning a much smaller North Korea", resulting in South Korea immediately doing a diplomatic volte face and allying with China.
