Trump's G-20 Trip Next Week Is More That Just Meeting Putin

He's going to have more opportunities to insult other national leaders, ride in golf carts while others walk, and shoot his mouth off without thinking. Yes, he'll be meeting Putin, too, on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit, but we won't get to listen in on that meeting.

Trump makes gaffes wherever he goes. Which allies will he alienate this time? It's hard to say. Will he shove aside another head of state, as he did recently? Will he scowl at a woman who is a head of state, as he did the last time?

Trump represents the United States of America poorly, wherever he goes. I don't know if I can bear to watch next week.

The French population may not welcome him with open arms, either. And Macron is far his superior in intellect, so it could be entertaining to see what happens.

So much that he will have to cut the trip short. I also predict a massive stock market sell off by foreign investors soon.

In fact, I will be shocked if the trip goes without incident.
