Already, Trump has shaken up the schedule, calling at the last minute for a special meeting Sunday morning to discuss the global economy. Senior administration officials said he will contrast U.S. growth with Europes economic doldrums and press his pro-jobs and fair trade messages, the report states. It is unclear how receptive the others will be to whatever thoughts Trump might offer as to how they should shift their own economic approaches. Many world leaders blame Trumps trade war with China and his threats against Europe and Japan for a major contraction in investment and spending, and are frustrated with what they see as attempts to use weaknesses elsewhere to demand changes he thinks will benefit U.S. companies.

But they've all been stuck in a room with him before, and they know what's coming.

(7,947 posts)How can his supporters not recognize he's always bragging? Do they like that about him, claiming he's God and King and the Chosen One?
He's going to the G7 where everyone else is going to be talking about real economic issues, discussing solutions, and he's going to get up and brag that he "saved" the US.
And everything gets trashed. He was just doing a Medal of Honor ceremony, which ought to be one of the most solemn and highminded of all presidential tasks. And instead of really honoring the military member who received this highest of military awards, he yuks it up, says he wanted to give himself one too.
How now will Woody Williams (the recipient) and his family remember this occasion? That Trump cheapened the award by acting like if HE wants one, he should get one-- heroism doesn't matter.

The best you can get from him is a precise understanding about how not to do things like a total dunderhead at every step of the way.
