1. World's Greatest Asshole - Donald J. Trump

This is the ONLY thing he is the greatest as. He is a failure at everything else.

Great meme syringis! Thank you!

[Cha]

4. So did he sign something at the meeting?

Like a statement, or contract?
Then back out?

5. G7 in disarray after Trump rejects communique and attacks 'weak' Trudeau

Leaders believed they had a deal until the US president launched a personal attack on Canada’s prime minister

...
The US had nevertheless appeared to agree a form of words on contentious issues thanks to an all-night negotiating session by officials from all sides.

But after leaving for Singapore, Trump tweeted personal attacks on Trudeau and said that he had told his representatives not to sign the summit communique, turning what had already been a tense meeting of the world’s leading industrialised democracies into a fiasco.

Journalists traveling on Air Force One to Singapore with Trump had been told that the US had decided to be part of the joint communique, which represented a minimal show of unity amid deep disagreements between Trump and the other six leaders over trade. The reporters only discovered when the plane landed on the Greek island of Crete to refuel that the president had changed his mind.

Even for a presidency as capricious as Trump’s, his action marked a new blurring of lines between his personal feelings towards other leaders, and US government policy. It was also the latest example of Trump’s use of much harsher language towards fellow democratically-elected leaders of allied countries than to strongmen leaders of enemy and adversary nations.

9. Yet another impeachable offense

Or at least one that can be fought in the courts.

The president can only raise tariffs for national security reasons — and on things like steel and aluminum — and only then because we might need to make bombs and tanks for war (as if we’re unprepared for a war, LOL). But here he is admitting in writing that the tariffs are for revenge on dairy tariffs.

6. Turned up late at the meeting on Gender

Please add

[hatrack]

7. "270% Dairy!" - It's the "Chain Migration!" of economics . . .

It's the one stupid phrase he can deploy for all trade-related occasions - oh, and it's short enough that his paretic brain can hold onto it.

8. It's like they looked at GWB

And decided he wasn't incompetent enough.
Trump couldn't manage a port-a-potty.
I hope our allies will be patient until we rid ourselves of this skidmark on the underwear of the world.
