1. I guess the "chosen one" would rather be at Mar a Lago golfing. The G7? Who needs it, right?

[gratuitous]

7. I'd say that's it

Along with a heaping helping of "Nobody talks about me, Me, ME."

[genxlib]

2. He will just let Ivanka sit in for him

So the Princess gets to work on her "resume" while he gets to stay in his hotel and watch FOX.

[bronxiteforever]

3. That fits him as well.

[demmiblue]

4. I wish he wouldn't even go. He is such an embarrassment. n/t

[HipChick]

5. Like I wonder what how he is doing to embarrass us now..

[bronxiteforever]

8. +1 It might be the best thing.

[lagomorph777]

10. +1 I hope he stays home.

[smirkymonkey]

6. Of course he has.

Since he knows fuck-all about global economic policy, other than how to cock things up royally.

They will be better off without him. I'm sure he doesn't understand one word that they say and that he would be enormously bored anyway.

[bronxiteforever]

9. They would have to dumb it down for him.

[Flaleftist]

11. "he didn't view the gathering as a particularly productive use of his time."

Says the guy who spends half his time tweeting and golfing. Of course, it's not like he has the desire or ability to work in a cooperative manner for good.

[bronxiteforever]

15. It must be horrible to sit through a meeting with him.

[Miles Archer]

19. Says the guy who's just coming off of a two week taxpayer funded golf vacation

Anything that breaks up those 3-day weekends is bound to ruin his day.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

12. Translation: "I wanna gooooollllllffffffffffff!"

n/t

[bronxiteforever]

14. Lol! Sad but true.

[genxlib]

13. We all know what is really behind this

He is trying to delegitimize the G-7 as long as Russian isn't there. He wants to let Putin back in. Then it will be worth his time.

Also, He gets away with body-checking the lower half of the G-20 leaders but can't pull that shit with the G-7.

[bronxiteforever]

16. +1 Brilliant point.

[Violagirl]

23. G7

I would like to see Angela Merkel get another chance to treat him like the unruly child he is. He fears powerful women.

[bronxiteforever]

24. Welcome to DU Violagirl! Merkel is so smart and dignified.

It must be hell for her to be in a room with Trump.

[0rganism]

17. i question that too

i don't imagine he's doing a whole lot to promote the common weal, the best interests of America, or even the best interests of his immediate friends and family. his presence is very likely a complete waste of space-time.

[bronxiteforever]

18. +1

[NightWatcher]

20. What are the odds he pulls the US out of the G8 this weekend?

I'd put $5 on it if it paid $20

[struggle4progress]

21. "France is refusing to sell us Paris! Very rude! So I'm not going to the G7!"

[bronxiteforever]

22. +1000 he is so much a chicken.

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[Captain Zero]

26. Trump: "But it's no fun if I can't kiss Vladimir's ass...

..and spill state secrets to him in an unrecorded meeting."

[onetexan]

27. Was gonna say - Putin isnt there so why should he bother?

Seems he's using these world leader summits as excuse to liaise,with Vlad.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

28. "...the past two G7 summits ended acrimoniously..."

I wonder what could have caused that? What -- or who -- was the common denominator?

Let's see...it would have to be someone who thrives on creating chaos, who has no regard for institutional norms or alliances, who thinks the only person in the room that matters is him.

Who do we know like that?

Actually, I think the other leaders would be happy to hold a G6 summit until this asshole is out of office, especially since he's insisting his BFF Putin be included in the next one, which he will host (at Mar-A-Lago, I'll be).

[democratisphere]

29. drumpf has no interest in a Putinless G7 where drumpf could kiss Putin's ass

and two authoritarians could discuss their respective dictatorships.
