<snip>
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he’s considering holding a meeting in the U.S. with the leaders of the world’s major economies after all because it would be a “great sign to all” of things returning to normal during the coronavirus pandemic.

The announcement was the latest effort by Trump to signal to the nation that the U.S. economy is humming again after months-long shutdowns meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 are beginning to be lifted across the country.

Trump had scheduled the Group of Seven summit for June 10-12 at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. But in March, he announced he was canceling the annual meeting because of the pandemic and that the leaders would confer by video conference instead.

“Now that our Country is ‘Transitioning back to Greatness’, I am considering rescheduling the G-7, on the same or similar date, in Washington, D.C., at the legendary Camp David,” Trump tweeted. “The other members are also beginning their COMEBACK. It would be a great sign to all – normalization!”

Then Merkel said NO

So he now thinks he decides who are the seven - he's fucking crazy

Russia was involved because ... I don't know. It doesn't even break the top 10.

Even involving Russia now would not make it a "G" anything because it is not a big economy. North Korea is even less so.


That would be like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, and Samsung having a meeting of the tech giants and inviting "Joe's Computer Services" serving the greater Poughkeepsie area.
