And that is how it’s done. That’s how you stand up to Trump. Not by becoming Trump, but by forceful and articulate expression of the facts at hand and the consequences of Trump’s churlishly rejecting them.

Yes but it will have no impact on Trump or his sycophants. They’ll just press on.

Perfect responses to a dickhead so-called president.

But, I guess they’re going to need a bigger room for that special place in hell.

And, just like that, the G7 will become the G6. The USA will not be at that table again for a very long time.

Are Trump and the Republicans and the Big Money Interests happy now? Because, I guarantee, if Trump does not apologize quickly, the other countries that agreed to the Communique will move forward without us. They will not bow to Trump’s bullying.

Oh, yes. Totally agree. These folk will have to be worked around. In the manner the G6 is working around Trump. After his installation as POTUS, I noticed that when he did or said deplorable things, his supporters would comment that “There’s a new sheriff in town”. It was repeated ad nauseum. “Why not a new Mayor in town?” I asked myself. Of course, the trumpists don’t want governance, they just want enforcement divorced from governance. It’s the authoritarian way.

Maybe somebody needs to remind Trump that the G-7 is made up of sovereign nations, not US colonies, not that the feckless GOP would ever dare too.

Trump’s misplaced claim that he is the best negotiator would be hilarious were it not so reckless and dangerous.

But he IS the best negotiator, for the other side. You flatter him and get what you want or, if things are going well, insult him gently and watch him throw a tantrum and blow it all up. trump turns the Zero Sum Game into the Dumb Zero Game

. . . And dominant power, devoid of accountability and responsibility.

It is tragic and heartbreaking watching almost 75 years of U.S. foreign policy being demolished so casually and wantonly.

Looks like our allies have had more than enough. A very dignified and diplomatic way of telling Trump and his enablers to go to hell. Well done!

My heart already goes out to the next Democratic president. And I had thought Obama had a bowl full of turds to clean up…

Wait! They are using facts? In the age of Trump?

Maybe they are a national security risk after all!
