Donald Trumps Triumph of Stupidity (Secret G7 Meeting Notes)

Der Spiegel obtained a copy of secret meeting notes from the G7 meeting last week:

Until the very end, they tried behind closed doors to get him to change his mind. For the umpteenth time, they presented all the arguments — the humanitarian ones, the geopolitical ones and, of course, the economic ones. They listed the advantages for the economy and for American companies. They explained how limited the hardships would be…

But Donald Trump remained unconvinced. No matter how trenchant the argument presented by the increasingly frustrated group of world leaders, none of them had an effect. “For me,” the U.S. president said, “it’s easier to stay in than step out.” But environmental constraints were costing the American economy jobs, he said. And that was the only thing that mattered. Jobs, jobs, jobs.

At that point, it was clear to the rest of those seated around the table that they had lost him. Resigned, Macron admitted defeat. “Now China leads,” he said.

3. trumpy is unable to negotiate anything with his attitude. Who wants to work with him?

let him take his toys and go home. It is good to see the mayors, governors, and business interest who will remain with the Paris Climate, real Americans wanting to do the right for our future.

4. Macron admitted defeat. Now China leads, he said.

I heard this week that European countries are looking at boosting economic ties with China and India,
and lessening those with Uncle Donald.

5. "now China leads"

I was going to say this would be Trump's political epitaph, but I think it's just a placeholder until the Russia thing gets settled.

7. This is the latest meme...

Pay attention, but that is all.

Just the bloviator in chief, and it serves him well when we fixate.
