Family Intervention - Donald, You Need Help!

After I published my post of yesterday assessing what was going on at the G7 meeting...and while I was outside doing a bit of gardening...the SH!T hit the fan vis a vis the gathering.  Trump left the meeting early, got into his "Airforce One" jet to fly to Singapore for the summit with Kim Jong-un.  I guess the altitude must have messed with his brain, because he sent some weird and inflammatory Tweets back to earth...calling Trudeau "weak and dishonourable" for standing up to Trump on trade and tariff issues.  A personal attack because someone doesn't agree with you?  How "presidential" is that?

Trudeau gave a summing up press conference after Trump left and repeated some of the things he told Trump.  Trump had left early.  Was everyone else supposed to fold their tents and leave...because Trump left early?  That's what it sounds like from Trump's Tweets.  He seems to have been ticked off that Trudeau spoke to the press after he (Trump ) left.  So, Trump childishly rescinded the US's signature to the "consensus" press release/joint communique that the G7 had given out after the conference.  Yet another indication that the US does not stand by any of its commitments.  

Then his State Department flunkies followed up this morning with more of the same.  Is this the same guy that the US is sending to a summit meeting with the leader of North Korea?!  Oh, and yes, while in the stratosphere, Donald sent a few more tweets back to earth threatening Kim.  Saying that "Kim has ONE chance for peace!"  You can't make this stuff up.

The photo above should win the "photo of the year" award.  The look on Angela Merkel's face says it all.  And the presence of the "hammer looking for a nail" John Bolton, just over Trump's shoulder is highly significant.  Donald is demented and Bolton is capitalizing on his dementia to push the Deep State hegemonic war-mongering agenda. Because a war is all the United States can afford anymore.  They can't afford to maintain their current standard of living in peace time conditions.  They HAVE to have a war to maintain their economy.  After all...they have all those munitions wasting away in hangers on very expensive military bases set up all over the world.  They have all those soldiers and sailors [particularly in South Korea] just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

So the G7 turned from being an international economic conference into a Family Intervention. Unfortunately, the intervention failed and....instead of going to rehab...or to an extended care facility...the demented "Twitter addict"...headed off in the family car on another bender.   Does anyone have any serious expectations for a successful outcome to the Kim/Trump summit?
