Trump was the only world leader not seen at a G7 meeting on climate and biodiversity.

BIARRITZ, France – President Donald Trump appeared to skip a G-7 session focused on climate and biodiversity that was attended by other world leaders Monday.

When U.S. reporters were ushered into the working session on climate, biodiversity and oceans taking place at the G-7 they saw an empty chair where Trump usually sits. The rest of the G-7 leaders were present.

White House aides did not respond to questions about whether Trump showed up after reporters were brought into the room or, if he did skip the meeting, why he did so.

Trump has reportedly told aides that the meeting of world leaders has focused too intensely on climate and other environmental issues. White House officials have said the president wants the meeting to deal more with economic issues, and Trump pushed for and secured a session on Saturday focused on the global economy.

He approves of the world burning for big business profits and has no interest in the people of the world surviving. He only cares about himself and PUtin, that's it. That's why he pushed so hard for Russia's readmittance, it's the only thing he cared about other than trying to make himself the center point - at which he totally failed.

Everyone knows how much he hates feeling stupid, which is most of the time, but at this meeting he would REALLY be the dumbest guy in the room.
