a big sigh of relief and the corks on the "good stuff" champagne were popped. (Why waste it on a whistle nosed gulper?)

Merkel commands him and all he can do is sit there and pout.
A total failure.

Sitting the way he is, with others standing, is a sign of power.

He's got them all by the short and curlies in this pic.

However, the more isolated he becomes from our allies,
the more they will band together to defang him.

But the way he’s pouting and his crossed arms make him look like he’s on the defensive. Would have to be facing everyone with a smirk on his face to look in any way as the one under control.

Merkel’s stance is one of leaning forward, towering over him to emphasize her position of command. Much like a mother scolding her kid. She is looking directly at him while he is not looking at her. Macron, who is not easy to see is mirroring her body language. Trump is actually looking at Macron, probably in an attempt to get away from Merkel.

And Bolton looks weak too, like he wants to stay out of it. The Japanese man is the only one that looks like he doesn’t like a mere woman talking to his buddy that way.

decent, competent people. No wonder he wants his idol Putin there to keep him company.

Merkel is clearly the alpha dog and Trump is stubbornly rolling on his back.
The whole room leans with Merkel's force and authority. Remarkable.

volume was up and everyone could hear the conversation as I did. This is what she said for those who missed it:

"You were late arriving yesterday. You were late for our first meeting this morning and you're leaving early. You haven't contributed one worthwhile thing since you've been here and I'm losing my patience with you. I'd like to wipe that smug ass look off your face, but I'm too much of a lady. Now get your shit and go. The grownups have work to do and you're in our way. And hell no we're not reviving the G-8 with Putin. We gave him a chance and he blew it. Now wipe that silly smirk off your face and get the hell out of my chair. Good Day."
