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).

I guess the "chosen one" would rather be at Mar a Lago golfing. The G7? Who needs it, right? Firestorm49 Aug 2019 #1
