President Trump is planning to fly to Canada on Friday. He is not exactly happy about it.

The president has vented privately about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as their trade tensions have spilled into public view. He has mused about finding new ways to punish the northern neighbor in recent days, frustrated with the country’s retaliatory trade moves.

And Trump has complained to aides about spending two days in Canada for a summit of world leaders, believing the trip is a distraction from his upcoming Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to three people familiar with Trump’s views.

In particular, the president said Tuesday to several advisers that he fears attending the Group of Seven summit in rural Charlevoix, Quebec, may not be a good use of his time because he is diametrically opposed on many key issues with his counterparts — and does not want to be lectured by them.

1. What a little bitch.

Suck it up buttercup. God damn embarrassing man. Hopefully he won't ever return from Canada. Canada arrest that MF'er.

[Berlin Expat]

12. Of course this buffoon

doesn't want to go. He can't stand being criticized; his fragile ego won't allow it.

[George II]

2. You're not the only one, Donnie. I'm sure there are many thousands of Canadians....

...who are complaining even more than you about you traveling to Canada.

[bdamomma]

23. To bad maybe Canada will turn him away.

tRump has been deemed a human rights violator who would want him in their country???

[left-of-center2012]

3. From the link ...

“... he prefers visiting places where he is feted — such as on his trips last year to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Beijing and Paris — over attending summits where the attending leaders are treated as equals.”

[irisblue]

24. I'd be suprised if he is 'feted' in Paris again

And London isn't going to be fun for him either I bet.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Spanky is happy to talk to NK but not Canada.

SMH. And he doesn't even want to go there because he's afraid some people might not want to kiss his ass.

Trump is a homebody president, preferring to sleep in the White House — or at one of his signature properties — than in hotels, so is generally reluctant to take long journeys. Furthermore, he prefers visiting places where he is feted — such as on his trips last year to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Beijing and Paris — over attending summits where the attending leaders are treated as equals.

But if he wants an ass-kissing, Larry Kudlow is happy to provide one.

“The president wants to go on the trip,” Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told reporters. “The president is at ease with all of these tough issues. He’s proven himself to be a leader on the world stage and he’s achieved great success, as I might add, in foreign policy. So I don’t think there’s any issue there at all.”

[SergeStorms]

14. What the hell....

has Kudlow been smoking? Larry never did have a firm grasp of reality, but if he thinks world leaders respect him and his ridiculous decisions on foreign policy he's definitely over-dosed on whatever mood enhancers they're feeding him.

The ease with which these turds lie and kiss Trump's ass is astounding!

[roamer65]

5. Then don't go, Spanky.

Canadians don’t like you anyway.

A vast majority of Canadians think you are a piece of shit and they are right.

[Sunlei]

19. trumps afraid of 'protesters' shouting at him & guaranteed press questions. Thank you Canada

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

21. Truth.

What a PIA to America.

[Sunlei]

22. More like Rs make trumpie back their corporate profits and screw American citizens.

I wish Canada would let us "Buy into" their healthcare system.

[forgotmylogin]

27. Trump knows he looks better next to Kim than he does next to Trudeau.

I'm sure he's one of those people who prefers his friends to be less attractive by comparison.

[Sunlei]

29. yes, that's why he made christie stand quietly (back right,stage) with him

[yallerdawg]

6. Maybe they could get together before his arrival...

and make it the "G6 plus 1 (if invited)."

They COULD cancel it and just have a special 'world day' without his ass and fumble lip-syncing songs everyone knows by heart.

[Sunlei]

25. The only music trump can get these days are the military bands who HAVE to play.

no band or music group wants to play for trumpie, heck even sports teams don't like him & even professional whores charge 130k to touch him.

7. The G7 would be happy to be the G6 for this meeting.

Perhaps they should send IQ45 a fruit basket and wish him "bon voyage."

[MiniMe]

8. Well perhaps he should have checked when the G7 was scheduled before he scheduled

the meeting in Singapore.

[PSPS]

9. After Giu911ni's statement today, I'll be surprised if there is a "summit."

A normal person would know that ascribing the act of "kowtowing" to a foreign head of state is, um, not really wise especially in the far east.

Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, “got back on his hands and knees and begged” for the United States to revive the Singapore summit after President Donald Trump abruptly scrapped it last month, one of Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani, said Wednesday (June 7).

The remarks by Giuliani, apparently intended to portray Trump as a tough negotiator, may have lobbed a disruptive obstacle into the salvaged meeting less than a week before it is set to happen.

“If the North Koreans needed a reason to cancel the meeting, the Americans just gave it to them,” said Evans J.R. Revere, a former State Department diplomat who specialises in North Korea.

10. Maybe he should join "Gruppy 2", Russian for Group of 2.

[Solly Mack]

11. Damn

[SergeStorms]

13. ...."and does not want to be lectured by them."

Afraid you might learn something, Little Donnie? We certainly wouldn't want to clog up your "stable genius" brain with actual facts!

Is there any possible way the Tangerine Treason Toad can piss off our closest allies further? He seems to cultivate great relationships with dictators though.

At the risk of repeating myself for the 1,472nd time, I hate that son-of-a-bitch and can't wait until he's forcibly removed from office.

[chelsea0011]

15. Man, this Presidenting thing is hard work.

[JI7]

16. his hideousness can't stand to be next to people like Trudeau

[barbtries]

17. why is he doing this?

i don't even get it. he's ruining us.

[Sunlei]

18. kind of weird & bizarre how Republicans allow their president to hate on Canada & Mexico.

send Pence in the lunatics place.

[lark]

20. Whiney criminal orange baby.

He's a tyical bully, loves loves to hurt others, but let someone look at him askkance and he pulls his security in front of him while he runs away.

[riversedge]

26. Not any stardom in Canada for Trump. He is LAZY

[Golden Raisin]

28. Whiny, self-centered coward. Sh#t or get off the pot.

Just don't go then.

[Javaman]

30. 3 year old putz. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. Kiss up to dicators. Piss off our long time allies.

Winning Trump style.
