President Donald Trump kicked off his weekend by attempting to dispel the G-7 summit drama last week when he refused to sign a previously agreed-upon joint statement authored by all seven nations.
In a series of photos posted to Twitter Friday evening, Trump insisted that the “Fake News Media” showed “bad photos (implying anger)” at the summit despite his “great relationship” with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other G-7 leaders.
I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel of Germany, but the Fake News Media only shows the bad photos (implying anger) of negotiating an agreement – where I am asking for things that no other American President would ask for! pic.twitter.com/Ib97nN5HZt

The Fake News Media said that I did not get along with other Leaders at the #G7Summit in Canada. They are once again, WRONG! pic.twitter.com/I6eEKEZV6z

Trump announced in tweets following his early departure from the summit that he would refuse to sign the agreed-upon joint G-7 communiqué as a result comments by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a press conference. However, Trudeau had simply reiterated points he’d made before: that Canada planned dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs in response to Trump’s new tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.
Merkel found Trump’s “withdrawal via Twitter” from the joint G-7 communiqué to be “of course sobering and a little depressing” in an interview following the summit.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the G-7 back him up on this…oh wait…
Watch what he does
Not what he says
If I recall his actions were Fuck You G-7
You caught him!
(On the other hand, I’m pretty sure he could not care less if they back him up or not. His tweets are aimed at his base, which does not hang on the G7’s every word.)
Implying anger?
How about implying petulance, implying idiocy, implying immaturity, implying narcissism. How about implying a short fingered, Cheeto colored, hamster haired, ego addicted, Russian-compromised, bigoted man / toddler.
Just like the bad photos implying not-biggest-ever inaugural crowds. Calls not to believe your own lying eyes have been a theme with this administration right from the start.
