By now, we are all used to trump’s visits to international meetings, where he sulks, broods, mopes, pouts, groans and moans, because he has no friends there and he has no idea how to deal with accomplished world leaders. The only joy he gets is when he meets Putin or Kim. Otherwise his face and body language pretty much betray the sorry state of his “mind”.
Granted, he left for this G7 meeting in France in a foul mood, having created crisis after crisis in national and international affairs last week. Granted his mind must have been focused on what lie to tell his supporters next or what part of the constitution to shred this week, given that nothing is working in his favor so far. But, can’t the lonely dotard even pretend to be POTUS for a day?
So, let’s take a look at the visuals of the G7 meeting. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
The look on your face when your wife drags you to a party ...
In a foul mood with Macron, who tried his best to be Mr. Pacifier on day 1. Looks like Macron did not order any hamberders.
Why the sullen face after the “very special” new NAFTA deal?
trump is shrinking. Who gave him that chair in the corner? And the high (plastic?) chairs to his clean-up crew. Sad.
A portrait in petulance. Where’s Daddy?
Look who is not smiling over talks about Iran -
Out of his league and he knows it.
Smiles with the Japanese premier.
Sorry, wrong picture.
He appeared happy in front of his apprentice Boris Johnson. Still no joy or smile on his face. Just trying to be the alpha male. Perhaps, because Boris is a proponent of free trade, even with China?
trump rummaged through his twitter feed and found this used pacifier — more than a month old -
Watching these leaders pal around with hugs and kisses is enough to make a grown trump weep.
The world’s biggest challenge? trump.
And now this — #MelaniaLovesTrudeau is trending; what did you expect with that lovely photo?
OTOH, this was then — when the world respected and admired the POTUS —
A leader who inspires and lifts everyone around him -
Yeah, it’s lonely at the bottom. Reminds me of this parody song by Sandy and Richard Riccardi couple of years ago.
And let’s keep in mind, the only way to end this dystopian nightmare is to elect Democrats. So, let’s donate, volunteer, write, mock, educate, GOTV, whatever we can do in our individual capacities. The future will thank us.
And let’s stay united, primaries not withstanding. Let’s try to anticipate the arsonist’s next move and plan for it; there is a lot of damage he can still inflict with the power he has and the power he will grab, if we let him.
