The president was not in the room when reporters were allowed to observe part of the session, and his seat was empty. The heads of government of the other six nations that comprise the G-7 were there.
"The President had scheduled meetings and bilaterals with Germany and India, so a senior member of the Administration attended in his stead," press secretary Grisham.

and get this:
Trump met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel a short time after the climate session and was asked if he had attended.
"I'm going to. In fact, it's going to be our next session. I want clear air and clean water," Trump said.
It was unclear if he heard a reporter who noted the session had just happened.

No words...there simply are no words.
ADDED: His new Press Sec.Stephanie Grisham got caught lying about it. She said
The President had scheduled meetings and bilaterals with Germany and India, so a senior member of the Administration attended in his stead.
The fact that Merkel and the guy from India were IN the meeting that he skipped, so he couldn't have been meeting with them, did not seem to register with her.

best beat Trump next year.
I keep saying roadkill could beat the Tangerine Wankmaggot. And if somehow he pulls it off next year, it might mean that there is so little hope for our future that we might as well just give up.
I can understand the nation being exasperated by the old ways and giving this guy a shot. But, I cannot understand why, after three years of this bullshit the nation won't realize its mistake and just rise up and throw his ass out.

But I'll bet it was more like "G7 Summit ends with unanimous consensus about Trump among global leaders".
