That went well, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

Don’t answer that. You know how it went. Donald Trump showed up at the G-7 meeting of economic powerhouse nations in Quebec and proceeded to p** off our nation’s most ardent allies and trading partners.<\/p>\n

Then he jetted off to Singapore in advance of his summit with North Korean goofball\/dictator Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n

What do you suppose the president is thinking by launching into his tirades against our allies? No need to answer that one, either. I don’t believe the “thinks” anything. He fires from the hip. He relies on “instinct” and “attitude.”<\/p>\n

My favorite part of his departure was when he said if our trading partners don’t do what he wants — which is give in to our demands for high tariffs — then he’s going to punish them by refusing to do business with them.<\/p>\n

Yep. The president of the nation that possesses the world’s strongest economy is threatening extreme economic punishment on our friends, the nations with which we are allied.<\/p>\n

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now is threatening direct retaliation for the tariffs Trump has imposed on steel and aluminum produced in Canada.<\/p>\n

I feel all warm and fuzzy. Don’t you?<\/p>\n

Oh, and then he tells them that Russia — the nation that swallowed up Crimea and went to war with Ukraine, all before meddling in our 2016 election — deserves a place at the table. He wants the G-7 to become the G-8 again.<\/p>\n

This is how you “make America great again,” how you engender “respect” among the rest of the industrialized world?<\/p>\n

I do not believe it’s working, Mr. President.<\/p>\n\n
