Trump "discreetly" flips middle finger at Italian Prime Minister

[True Dough]

"President Donald Trump appeared to give the Prime Minister of Italy, Paolo Gentiloni, the middle finger while to scratching his head at the G7 summit in Taormina, Sicily.

G7 stands for “group of 7” and consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The group is dedicated to advancing the world’s economy as well as combating climate change under the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, as well as apparently flicking off Gentiloni, Trump’s intentions regarding American participation in the Paris climate deal, agreed to under President Barack Obama, remained unknown on Sunday, reports The Guardian.

Trump has been the odd man out at G7, apparently by choice. While all other world leaders went for a walk with each other through Taormina, Trump chose to ride in a golf cart, reports The Hill.

Not to be outdone, “The White House Facebook page failed to acknowledge First Gentleman of Luxembourg Gauthier Destenay, married to Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, in a post featuring the spouses of world leaders attending this week’s G7 summit in Sicily,” writes Newsweek. The Luxembourgians are the only gay couple of Trump’s foreign counterparts."

[Rorey]

[UTUSN]

3. He's a repulsive, disgusting p.o.s. - This same post applies in multiple threads.

[world wide wally]

6. You can bet Trump is sending photos to Putin to prove his loyalty.

[Eyeball_Kid]

23. Really? Russia has an economy the size of... Italy.

[world wide wally]

33. Only because Putin's oligarchs have all the money and that is what Trump wants to be

Do you think Trump just idolizes Putin because of his philosophy of politics?

[Ninsianna]

7. Ugh.

[janterry]

9. 4th grade?

such an embarrassment

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Going to say 4 th Grade I.Q..

10. Imagine the RW Conservative outrage...........

Had Pres. Obama done this. They would be calling for his impeachment. This would be all they would be talking about.

Hypocrites the lot of them.

[True Dough]

12. On that note, there is some precedent...

[tenderfoot]

14. That's a piss poor use of the stamp tool in photoshop

but nice try.

[LOL Lib]

34. LOL

I suck at photoshop, but I caught that right away. I could do a much better job too, and like I said, I SUCK!!!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

32. He had to have had a good reason......

to do that. Looks like a Cabinet meeting. I think I see Tim Geitner in tne forefront.

[get the red out]

11. Embarrassing

Our country will have to work hard after this bunch to rebuild any respect at all.

[Botany]

16. at first I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't giving the finger ....

.... but the way he smiled afterwards tells me that he flipped the bird to
a head of state at a diplomatic function.

Please make it stop.

[iluvtennis]

19. +++ agree

[LiberalLovinLug]

17. The thing is whether it was intentional or not, he's not believable anymore

He's done so many rude, childish things that its more believable that he DID flip the bird intentionally. He's brought down the office of the Presidency to such a low bar the world over. Its his own fault if most take it as purposeful whether he meant it as that or not.

[left-of-center2012]

18. "The whole world is watching"

Trump's stupid grin immediately after giving the finger.

[Susan Calvin]

22. Oh, it was on purpose, all right. nt

[Ms. Toad]

20. Not even subtle.

There was not even an effort to make it appear he was scratching - flipped the bird and brought his hand right back down.

Such juvenile behavior.

[left-of-center2012]

21. YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NastyRiffraff]

24. I'd think this may be innocent

were it not for that ugly, self-satisfied smirk. As someone said in this thread, that's a dog whistle.

[perdita9]

25. The short-fingered vulgarian shames all of America

[RelativelyJones]

26. Some will interpret this as kind of "punk" because he sticks it to the man.

But it isn't about that. It is the entitled American Psycho brand of antisocialism.

[SergeStorms]

29. But his supporters....

will LOVE it! Of course they're as immature and low-class as Trump, so their little "see how stupid I can be?" club continues to be a total embarrassment for our country.

[Kablooie]

27. Ladies and Gentleman. May I present the President of the United States of America!

[nolabear]

28. Oh come on. There's enough to hate without this sheer conjecture.

[7962]

30. Really? With all the actual shit to rag him on? Jeeze whats next, "wheres your birth certificate?"

This stuff is really getting ridiculous. CNN making news out of trump getting 2 scoops of ice cream.
Come on, folks.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. You can have all the money in the world

but it still doesn't spell class.
