Trump Defies G7 Officials Openly

In the photo below, only one interpretation is possible. Trump is openly defying other world leaders, who are confronting his positions. He sits with his arms folded across his chest and with a smug expression on his face. This open defiance is going to lead to serious problems with people who are our long-time allies. Trump doesn't care. He is challenging them with open defiance. This cannot end well.

It seems MerÄ·el is the one getting the stink-eye.

The two Asian guys in the center of the pic seem less than impressed with whatever Merkel is saying, and one has his arms folded as well. But MM and DUpipo generally reading their fantasies into things is pretty much situation normal over on DU.

The problem here is that the other leaders are used to the US bending over and them getting their way.  That is over with Trump. All those countries, England, Germany Canada may be big producers and world powers, but none have the wealth or capacity of the US. So trump is re negotiating things in OUR favor and they are not happy.  :tongue:

But the bottom line is, it is tough titties for them.  :lmao:

obama wanted to  fundamentally change America, President Trump is fundamentally changing the way other  countries deal with us, so that we come out on top. :-)

The one looks like Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan. He's thinking: "Listen Fraulein, we listened to you Nazis once and went against the USA, we're on their side this time."   :rofl:

Abe knows who has the deepest pockets and biggest stick. I am sure Germany couldn't go to Japans defense like we would.

Besides, merkel already made a mess in Germany with the refuge situation.

Unlike what Minnesota Moses insists, the photograph is subject to all sorts of interpretations.

I suppose the successor to the worst president in American history looks as if he's daring the others on something, but photographs, taken in a split-second of time, can lie, because they record only that split-second of time, with much happening the seconds before, and the seconds after.

It could be that the successor to the worst president in American history just cracked a joke, and the others, within a split-second, haven't had the time to "get" it.....but will, in a second or two, after which they'll be rolling on the floor laughing their asses off.

They had 8 years of a President who came to events like this to negotiate surrenders.

My take on the picture is Trump just told merkel "fine, if you want schnitzel for dinner then have at it.  I'm going to get 2 Big Macs and a large order of fries." 

The Japanese delegation is upset that there is no good sushi joints to be found in Quebec.

Merkel is saying "No, asking Germany to feed, clothe, and give shelter to Rockhead until he dies in exchange for dropping the tariffs is too much to ask."

It looks to me like President Trump is waiting for the Euroweenie leaders to finish their temper tantrums.

It looks to me like President Trump is officiating over a game of Touch the Table.  Merkel looks like she's determined to win the table.

Touch the Truck was a British Channel 5 endurance gameshow which aired in 2001. It was hosted by Dale Winton[1] and involved a group of 20 contestants holding onto a stationary truck. The last person left touching the truck won it.

I've seen the original picture, and Trudeau (sp?) is cut out of almost every one posted by the MSM. He's standing up behind Trump in the un-cut picture.

What are the EU gonna do, boycott us?  Embargo our goods?  Go ahead, piss off the largest economy in the history of the world.

We can hit them much harder by saying "You don't contribute a significant enough portion of your GDP to your own defense, per the NATO treaty, and we are herewith pulling our troops out of your countries, along with their paychecks that you have gladly been accepting for decades."

Bad optics with the "stab in the back" comment floating out there.

Actually, in the original Dustin looks as if he's using the successor to the worst president in American history as a shield against the others.

Sharyl Attkisson demonstrates why a single picture out of a much larger context can be misleading. (https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2018/06/11/boom-sharyl-attkisson-nukes-media-over-their-favorite-narrative-boosting-g7-photo-comparecontrast/) In the case of the MSM, intentionally so.

These Neapolitan dipwicks can tug on each other until they pull their Bonaparte and remain Richard Free.
