Trump nixes trip to Summit of the Americas
President Trump will not attend the Summit of the Americas in order to remain in Washington “to oversee the response to a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of women and children in Syria,” the White House said Tuesday.
”President Trump will not attend the 8th Summit of the Americas in Lima, Perú, or travel to Bogotá, Colombia, as originally scheduled,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
“At the President’s request, the Vice President will travel in his stead.”
The Summit of the Americas, a gathering of Western Hemisphere heads of state organized by the Organization of American States (OAS), has been attended by every U.S. president since the first gathering in 1994.

The last Summit of the Americas, in Panamá City, in 2015 (Obama is in the second row, at left).
Other than by his old pal Macri, I doubt Trump will be missed much.

in any city in the Americas where he dares to appear.
The response he would get would obliterate the turn out bestowed upon Vice-President Richard M. Nixon in 1958.
Trump and Mauricio Macri: men only the criminally insane could love.
Macri might be lonely without another fascist to keep him company.
