ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would postpone a Group of Seven summit he had hoped to hold next month until September or later and expand the list of invitees to include Australia, Russia, South Korea, and India.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One during his return to Washington from Cape Canaveral in Florida, Trump said the G7, whose members are the world's most advanced economies, was a "very outdated group of countries" in its current format.

"I'm postponing it because I don't feel that as a G7 it properly represents what's going on in the world," Trump said.

It was unclear whether Trump's desire to invite the additional countries was an effort to permanently expand the G7. On several previous occasions, he suggested Russia be added given what he described as Moscow's global strategic importance.

He wants Putin to provide another shower show.

"I'm postponing it because I don't feel that as a G7 it properly represents what's going on in the world," Trump said.

No, donny. No. It has to be postponed because no one in their right mind is going to show up. The heady combo of COVID-19 and your own special funk are just too much to bear.

2. Cancel the party if no one is showing up. Especially Russia.

His groveling is going to be embarrassing.

3. Doesn't G7 mean like seven countries? Why Russia they make

nothing over there. Their GDP is about 1/8 of ours. They have about the same GDP of the state of New York.

4. Gee ya think

Inviting leaders to a G-7 here is going to be well attended after he says "very outdated group of countries"? He's making up his own group without consulting them. Never happen!

5. Angela Merckle already said she is out. Russia has

nothing to sell but minerals, weapons and pornography.

6. Sitting in front of the cake in a party hat, and all the invited kids went to Angela's pool party.

7. Suppose toy threw a G7 summit and nobody came?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Twitter storm about it.

8. He really is a box of rocks.

9. So wait, North Korea is off the list now?

Donny Dotard is so fickle!
