WASHINGTON — The White House said President Donald Trump will cut short his visit with the Group of Seven economic powers in Canada this weekend, announcing that he would to leave the summit early after sparring with other world leaders on the issue of trade.

By leaving after a session on women's empowerment on Saturday morning, Trump will skip meetings on climate change, energy policy and oceans. Instead, he'll leave early for Singapore, where he's scheduled to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week.

In a series of tweets Thursday evening, Trump fired back at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron — both of whom have criticized tariffs Trump has placed on exports from those countries.

“The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be,” Macron posted on Twitter. “Because these 6 countries represent values, they represent an economic market which has the weight of history behind it and which is now a true international force.”

“No leader is eternal,” Macron wrote earlier.

2. Hey dipshit, you might try learning what WORDS ACTUALLY MEAN ...

Before you go using them. Ya know, when you're POTUS, that's kinda important.

Otherwise you make the entire Nation look as stupid as you are.

3. Ir's amazing to me that we all just sit back

and watch Trump totally destroy our country, economically and morally, dragging the reputation of the USA through the mud as he shits his diapers on the world stage like a petulant two year old throwing a fit!

Its amazing that an American President has so much unchecked power in this country.

I thought the eight years plus that it took us to mostly recover from the Bush Jr rein of error was bad but it might take an entire generation to recover after god emperor Dump gets done with his degradation of America.

I don't think our former allies will soon forget how easy it was for one man to destroy what was built since WW2.
