After Leaving the G7 Summit, Trump Decides to Insult Our Allies (AGAIN)

Russia’s awesome. They’ve been treated unfairly and deserve a seat at the G7 summit table.

Check.

Also, all preconditions for meeting with the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, are off the table. He gets the legitimacy he’s always wanted, a stay at a luxury resort, and the U.S. walks away from it with nothing.

Check.

Chinese tech company accused of espionage, ZTE, gets a sweet deal, even though it violated sanctions and sold tech to Iran and North Korea.

Got it.

The “bad guys” in Trump’s worldview are the other nations that have been longtime allies and trade partners.

Isolating the United States, alienating our allies, while building up nations that have proven their untrustworthiness on the world stage is the mark of either a buffoon or a foreign asset.

Maybe both.

In the latest outrage from this horrible mistake of a presidency, Donald Trump has turned and spit in the face of our allies, once again.

After cheerleading for Russia at the G7 summit, he eventually, along with the other six nations, he endorsed a joint communique.

Until he didn’t.

Claiming some kind of slight by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after the fact, President Trump went Captain Tweety Rager and reneged.

“Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!,” the President tweeted on Saturday.

He wasn’t done. He never is. He obsesses, and it’s always embarrassing and bad.

In a second tweet, President Trump said, “PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, ‘US Tariffs were kind of insulting’ and he ‘will not be pushed around.’ Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!”

Because tariffs don’t work. They’re a tax on the citizens. They hurt the economy. Trump is framing this as an issue of “fairness,” but it’s not. It makes no sense to continue to whip up friction with our nearest allies and trade partners.

The President’s move to reject the communique contradicted a statement from Trudeau earlier on Saturday when the Canadian prime minister said that he was “happy to announce that we have released a joint communique by all seven countries” indicating that the US had signed on. The group of seven nations that make up the G7 are Canada, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Italy.

As it was, Trump’s comments came after he was safely away from the summit and on his way to give the maniac of North Korea, all he ever wanted.

So what did Trudeau say, exactly?

He said that retaliatory tariffs on American goods begins on July 1

“I have made it very clear to the President that it is not something we relish doing, but it something that we absolutely will do,” Trudeau said. “Canadians, we’re polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around.”

And more of our allies will begin pushing back, as they see that the man in charge of this nation is unreliable, unhinged, and possibly “compromised” in some other way.

The goal of Russia has long been to reach a point where the U.S. and western society, in general, is no longer a threat. The U.S. must be destabilized.

It really feels like we’re very close.
