Since he knows fuck-all about global economic policy, other than how to cock things up royally.

They will be better off without him. I'm sure he doesn't understand one word that they say and that he would be enormously bored anyway.

He is trying to delegitimize the G-7 as long as Russian isn't there. He wants to let Putin back in. Then it will be worth his time.

Also, He gets away with body-checking the lower half of the G-20 leaders but can't pull that shit with the G-7.

i don't imagine he's doing a whole lot to promote the common weal, the best interests of America, or even the best interests of his immediate friends and family. his presence is very likely a complete waste of space-time.

I wonder what could have caused that? What -- or who -- was the common denominator?

Let's see...it would have to be someone who thrives on creating chaos, who has no regard for institutional norms or alliances, who thinks the only person in the room that matters is him.

Who do we know like that?

Actually, I think the other leaders would be happy to hold a G6 summit until this asshole is out of office, especially since he's insisting his BFF Putin be included in the next one, which he will host (at Mar-A-Lago, I'll be).
