Macron suggested earlier Thursday that the U.S. could be excluded from the group’s agreements.

“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.

Oh look, Mr. Trump. You are not Atlas and the world does not collapse if you shrug. You are not irreplacable.

1. There goes that great

Friendship Trump thought he had.

Not to mention the harm Trump is doing to us.

He did not get a warm welcome. Had to take a long walk to meet Trudeau. Then I noticed he had to step off in the grass to walk with them.

2. i don't know how much they walked but he looked tired just from that much

he really is in shitty physical shape.

3. Bloat is increasing

it is visual

13. He is getting more stooped over, too.

Not going to be as tall, not able to breathe as well. I look forward to him tipping over and falling. He could not possibly get himself up.

4. Macron may grow into true world stature

He seems to me this nerdy, business-minded, efficient leader with a quick mind who is committed to economic growth and free market principles but with a sound foundation of equality, civil rights, and environmental protection.

I suppose he's a politician and will have some baggage, but that's what I'm hearing and seeing from what little I know.

5. Macron

Really tried with Trump but soon found out Trump is not loyal to anyone.

He wants toadies to obey him. When they finally refuse he turns on them.

If you know anything about a narcisstic personality that is what they do. I have seen it many times.

6. "America, you're fired".

We have Trump to thank for the shrinking influence of the U.S..

9. Indeed!

One of the many things that I have never understood about his supporters is why they would want a man who takes delight in firing people and ruining their lives to be president. When did callousness become a virtue? What kind of person takes pleasure in seeing other people's hopes and dreams crushed? At least Reagan had a sunny attitude towards life. Trump doesn't even have that; it is all darkness and gloom. I started watching the Netflix series about RFK, and I am reminded once again of a time in which our political leaders told us that we could become a better people and a better country by working to improve life for all of us, rather than to look out only for ourselves and the hell with everyone else. I miss that time and that can-do spirit.

10. Obama's "Yes we can" positive attitude and respect for others is

what most Americans embrace.

Trump is like a Heath Ledger type "Joker"who appeals to the dark side of the Deplorable 40 percent.

[potone]

11. Yes, you are right.

Obama appealed to that spirit. How have we gone from him to this??? I know that he disappointed some people, myself included, but he was encumbered by a Congress that had no intention of working with him, and whose only goal was to defeat him.

12. Latent racism combined w/Dem voter apathy in 2010.

That's what put the Mitch McConnell led GOP into the driver's seat . McConnell's sabotage project to make Obama a "one term president", actually worked.

7. How ironic

Four of the countries represented at the G7 owe it to us that they don't say Sieg Heil when they have their national celebrations. Now someone needs to liberate us from our own worst instincts, and there's no one around to help us do it.

It's GOTV or confirm the G6's worst fears about us.

In Singapore next week, I think a lot of people, after the meeting, will be asking if what they heard from the North Korean delegation was the Korean word for "seriously?"
