(10,495 posts)They know he is ignorant and has no interest in trying to read and learn to be less ignorant.
Our standing as the leader of the free world will never be the same.

(32,633 posts)You know how heads of state always learn names ahead of time so that nobody is slighted and there are no embarrassing oversights? At the very least, the heads of state have their assistants standing by to remind them who everybody is at the meetings.
But is it even possible that Trump might have done this? Of course not, he doesn't give a rat's ass who any of them are. He expects them to all recognize him, and instead they're ignoring him.
It's just like the hotels in Hamburg, why should hotel managers refuse their regular customers just so Trump can have 3 floors to himself? Nobody even wants him at their hotel, and they're all booked up anyway.
Let's see how he does on the next trip, maybe he's learned something.

SergeStorms
(19,193 posts)it's not having people around to tell him how great he is. That picture SCREAMS...."Where are my toadies? Where are the people I employ to blow smoke up my ass? WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER"?
He's the loneliest person in the room, and this is completely foreign to him. He's a social outcast in a room full of the world's educated, important leaders and diplomats. He stands alone as the outlier, THE ONE PERSON WHO DOES NOT BELONG THERE!

(9,426 posts)His best buddy. Maybe we should ban Russians from entering this country, let the Muslims in? Seems we have too many mobsters here already.
sweetroxie
(776 posts)is part of his narcissistic wound. So he's already familiar with this feeling. Before becoming PINO he was a rich, vulgar man whom the elite (NY) loved to reject as not one of them
Maybe he's watching the purses.
Bob Loblaw
(1,900 posts)He brings no value to the meeting so there's no point in wasting time with him. He's probably sitting there with his pursed lips making a list in his head of who is snubbing him and will try to screw their country the way he's screwing ours because of his thin skin (think Correspondents dinner). In a battle between receiving attention from a despot (Putin) or being ignored by the others we know what he has chosen. His behavior in general, and in particular at the G20 will only serve to lead him further away from relevance in these gatherings.

(90,762 posts)kids talk to him or not?
That's Trump, sitting there telling himself he's too good for them anyhow.
And all the while it's tearing him up inside.

(115,674 posts)"Have you met Trump yet?"
"Yes, unfortunately. He cornered me in the men's and showed me a map of all the places he'd won in the election. He even offered to give me a copy I could frame for my office." (Laughter)
"I met him yesterday. He's even weirder than I expected. He asked me if I thought his daughter was, I think the word he used was, 'hot.'"
"What were the Americans thinking of? Barack Obama was so intelligent and had such class, and this... cochon..."
"I don't want to sit near him. I passed him in the hall and he smelled like he'd done a wee in his pants and tried to cover up the smell with cheap after-shave."
"Do you suppose he's gone dotty?" (Laughter)
"Most likely. But I've heard he's always been..."
"Un homme très horrible?"
"Yes, quite. En veldig forferdelig mann."
"Und ein sehr schrecklicher Mann."
"Un hombre muy horrible. Y joder su estúpida pared."
"Shall we sit down? Oh, bloody hell, I have to sit next to him. He smells like wee and after-shave." (Laughter)

dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)Tragic, for our country. Not that I was happy with the damn phrase "strongest richest etc nation on earth, leader of the free world, etc"
But for how quickly our image can be tarnished.
The positive side is that by ignoring Trump, our states, and other countries, are pushing ahead by empowering themselves.

(3,335 posts)his 'hands' as the GOPers are, or his time in the spotlight. My guess is that he's already reached his expiration date and no one in his entourage wants to be the one to tell him the bad news; that none of the other 19 members likes him.

NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)I would feel some sympathy. I was one of those kids at a new school whom nobody would sit with. Eventually I made friends, so it was okay, but it was hard at first. Dump, however, can't make friends, can't get any respect, is actively scorned by the world. And that includes Putin, who is very likely laughing at him behind his back.
Putin (laughing): "Then I told him of COURSE we didn't hack his stupid election. And he BELIEVED me! Even agreed to work on "cybersecurity" together! Can you believe this moron?"

I wonder if this picture was taken before or after he had Ivanka sit down with the world leaders; that may have been his revenge for being snubbed.

(32,633 posts)The Germans aren't stupid, they know about American politics.
They know that Trump is one election away from irrelevance.
They know we Dems have been talking about impeachment almost since his inauguration.
Cheeto might not even last to the next election.
The Germans know more about our politics than most Americans know about Germany, or the rest of Europe.
And THAT IS a sad fact!

The wonderful thing is that he knows he is despised by a growing number of people every day. It is like the Ted Cruz effect on steroids. Was it that southern Quisling Lindsey Graham who said something like ' Generally it is wise if people hate him on first meeting him; it saves time.'
