G7 leaders took a stroll in Sicily — and Trump followed them in a golf cart

President Trump rounded out his first foreign trip since taking office by joining other G7 leaders as they walked the streets of Taormina, Sicily.

There was just one difference: as the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan walked on foot, Trump followed in a golf cart, The Times of London reported on Saturday.

"They walked the 700 yards from the traditional G7 group photo, taken at a Greek amphitheatre, to a piazza in the hilltop town, but Mr Trump stayed behind until he could take a seat in the electric vehicle," The Times reported.

It also noted that Trump arrived last for the photo as the 6 other leaders stood waiting for him.

I hope he can cheer her up, as with that maneuver faking out Trump and hugging her first instead of taking 45's proferred handshake until after greeting several others

taken at a Greek amphitheatre, to a piazza in the hilltop town, but Mr Trump stayed behind until he could take a seat in the electric vehicle. He still got there late making the group wait. I would have taken the photos and walked back.

Those six other fools are going to be sorry when they suddenly keel over, having wasted their precious energy by (psssh) ... walking. Why do you think Pooty-poot rides around on a horse?
