"SNIP.....

New York Times: “Senior administration officials said that the agenda would center too much on issues designed to play well with Mr. Macron’s domestic audience — like climate change, income and gender equality, and African development — and was engineered to highlight disagreements with Mr. Trump’s administration.”

“They accused Mr. Macron’s aides of ignoring pleas by Trump administration officials to focus the summit, which runs through Monday, on national security and a looming economic slowdown. And they said Mr. Macron was purposely trying to fracture the Group of 7 by veering away from its longstanding mission of ensuring that the strains on other economies do not spread globally.”

So climate change is a niche issue and Macron is responsible for destabilizing the economics? Gaslighting.

1. Yes. WH is going to blame the world economy failures on France (G6) while

blaming Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Denmark, Greenland, Iceland, Jews, Blacks, Asians, Latins, immigrants, dogs and cats, sea life, et al.

It's everybody's fault, except t-rump and his fucked up administration.

2. Yes, climate change, income and gender

equality are "niche isssues", not as important as the size of tRump's crowds, for instance, or the number of votes that were rigged, or him getting a cut in interest rates on his hotel loans. Those are the real issues the G7 should be discussing!

3. As if income inequality and the planet being on f--king fire don't affect the economic and

national security. And here's a radical concept, stabilizing the south reduces the need for the people there to migrate northward.

The summit has real work to do, and Trump's use of the G-7 to crow how great he is is not part of it.

4. Um, WH aides, no one is listening

5. Were these aides named Ivanka or Jared

by any chance?
