President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Donald Trump's G7 temper tantrum - CNNPolitics

When he didn't get the full support of Macron and Trudeau for policies that, well, they don't support, Trump pouted. Publicly.

According to CNN's White House team:

"Even as late as Thursday afternoon, Trump was questioning why he would attend a G7 meeting where he's outnumbered on key issues like trade and climate change. As a series of combative tweets from Macron began emerging late in the day, Trump again raised the prospect of scrubbing all or part of his visit to Canada, asking advisers what the point of attending the summit would be, according to a person familiar with the conversations."

This my-way-or-the-highway (or take-my-ball-and-go-home) approach is what Trump promised as a candidate for president. Past holders of the office had made terrible deals for the US -- Trump would make good ones. He alone knew how to talk to world leaders to get them to do exactly what he wanted. It was all in the art of the deal.

Campaigning is easy. Governing is hard.

And it turns out that simply telling other countries to, say, pay for a border wall (and enjoy it!) or renegotiate broad and complex trade deals isn't as easy as firing someone on a reality TV show.

That reality makes Trump mad. And when he gets angry, he tweets. Watch his Twitter feed over the next 24-48 hours.

 

This needs to be on t shirts or posters or buses!

 

It needs to be tattooed in bold, block letters on the foreheads of Trump, Pence, McConnell, Grassley and Hatch.

 

And this was after the White House announced he was bailing on the G7 early.

Hell of a way to treat our allies.

 

Trump: Those SOBs on the football field better not kneel!

Also Trump: I'm thinking of pardoning somebody who refused to serve in Vietnam.



Also ...

 

Trump seems to have found his bold new reality show: "MAGA Celebrity Pardons!"

What an open and disgusting display of cheap and shallow grandstanding. SAD!

 

Make Asbestos Great Again!

 

Fitting as only a country gone mad would think Trump was Oval Office material.
