Before the G7 summit the dumb motherfucker proposed allowing Russia to re enter the group after they were kicked out for annexing Crimea.
Fucking USA today has a headline with a caustic tone. Probably an AP article but they aren't exactly known for being anything but the flavorless pablum of news sources
He pissed of goddamn Canada by attacking Justin Trudeau after the summit.
Also before the summit the shithead attacked Trudeau during a phone call invoking the time Canada burned down the White House during the War of 1812. An event that never happened and wouldn't be relevant in a talk about tariffs 200 years later even if it did happen.
This morning, sycophantic dipshit and former TV talking head who is now an economic advisor to Trump, Larry Kudlow, went on TV and defended the infantile behavior.
The best thing to come out of this circus is Justin Trudeau trolling Trump with a picture of the brothel his grandfather ran in Canada
This was such a trainwreck, debacle. I've been following it since the Russia comment when he was on his way to Quebec. It just kept getting worse. Kudlow said he was being an asshole so he wouldn't seem weak before the Tuesday meeting with Kim Jong Un. In the process he did his best to alienate allies we've had since before we were a country. I can't keep up with this shit. I think he threatened to cut trade with the other G7 countries somewhere along the way.
I've been pretty optimistic that the clown will do no lasting damage and he'll be gone in 2021 at the latest but this is so beyond the pale of acceptable behavior. And I don't even know why I'm surprised because what else would he do in a room full of people he doesn't respect?
Jesus fucking Christ...
" It's Canada trying to raise it's high protectionist barrier even higher on things like maple syrup and other good" Are you FUCKING kidding me? Talk about loosing the galaxy for the grains of sand. As a Canadian, my apologies for really souring the political climate with our ruthless maple syrup tarifs.
So he's bitching on Twitter about a tariff on dairy. Meanwhile the United States has a trade surplus with Canada. And I think Canada has its own cows so why would they want our dairy anyway. It's fucking retarded. Either he has no idea what he's doing or his Russian handlers are encouraging him to actively destroy our economy and reputation
The theory I heard is that he wanted to look tough at the G7 summit before his meeting with North Korea but all everybody talked about was how he was late to a meeting and got put in his place multiple times. So now he’s lashing out at Trudeau on Twitter because he’s basically a toddler.
I mean that's not a theory so much as exactly what Larry Kudlow said which I mentioned in my little rundown. You don't project strength when you sow discord among your allies. You project the easily exploitable personality of an immature narcissist. Not that NK needed any more evidence of what the guy is like in order to play him like a fiddle. I don't know that I've heard it before but I'm not sure Putin isn't giving directions to Kim so Trump will have some kind of legitimate accomplishment. I don't think it's the most far fetched theory but I'm not sure Russia and NK have any relationship to speak of
I don’t think he’s really being an asshole now to save face/look tough though, I think he’s just unraveling after he failed to show strength/leadership in a meeting. I feel like the ensuing twitter rant was just unhinged ramblings of a mad man who’s used to being the boss in meetings, not an attempt to show strength. Pete Souza has been sharing pictures on his insta from the start of the summit of Obama looking respected and like a leader other leaders listen too at previous summits. I don’t doubt that’s how he wanted to look, like he was on top. He probably thought that’s how he would look and he likely blames everybody but himself for not coming across that way. Kudlow seemed to suggest that the other leaders should have made this summit about Trump and his meeting with NK which only proves how narcissistic the guy is. The picture with Merkel make’s him look like a boy being scolded so I’m surprised he hasn’t lashed out at her more.
