Trump's G7 performance shows how he's living in a totally different reality and isolating the US from the rest of the world
It's not unusual for President Donald Trump to spread falsehoods. But his performance at the G7 summit over the weekend shows that when it comes to his standing on the global stage, Trump lives in a different reality.
Throughout the weekend, Trump made a number of misleading claims about key issues and his relationships with other world leaders. His actions also show how the US is becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the developed world.
Trump claimed his trade war with China is popular within the G7 (it's not), he touted the overall state of the US economy (experts warn it could be headed toward recession), and he said other G7 members support his call to invite Russia back into the alliance (they don't).
He also supported North Korea over South Korea, gushed about France's handling of the summit even as his own aides privately fumed about it, and skipped a critical meeting to address climate change and the Amazon wildfires.
