1. Maybe they know the end is near for twitler

[FakeNoose]

49. Cheeto went to Paris in July when he was the only head of state there

Why would he want to go and be surrounded by 99 others? They'd be stealing his glory and his spotlight.

[riversedge]

2. Another embarrassment for the USA.

[czarjak]

15. Are we great yet?

[C Moon]

22. :D

[raccoon]

3. I don't blame them, with his attitude toward climate change and environmental issues. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Why would they invite him?

He'd be the skunk at the picnic anyhow.

[C Moon]

24. And he'd probably doze off.

[forgotmylogin]

5. Why would they invite him?

That would be like inviting your homophobic uncle to a gay wedding.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

7. K&R. LOL, and why waste good food and drink on him?

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. He doesn't belong there.

Good move by the planners.

[NCjack]

28. #45 is a disruptive 2-yr old. He should be home practicing his toilet training. nt

[orangecrush]

34. Exactly

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. Tell tRump it was due to Summit budget cut, cuts, cuts!

He was at the very bottom of their invite list.

[defacto7]

9. He's a waste of their time.

10. Trump had not planned to attend the Bonn summit that precedes it - so this might

just be a reaction to Trump announcing he is pulling out ... even though as Kerry and others pointed out, he can't pull out until November 2020 - after the election. Given Trump's about face on NK today, you wonder if he might suddenly declare he is going to BOTH Bonn and Paris, because the US is not yet out!

Why do I have an imagine in my mind of telling a 2 year old not to do exactly what I wanted her to do?

It also seems that the French summit as defined, is similar to all the business and NGO reachout that was done by the Obama administration. I suspect that Macron might add insult to injury by inviting the very capable John Kerry and Al Gore, who are still both working on these very things. (If you are interested in hearing what these two are upto on this - and other issues -- I heartily recommend you listen to their conversation - https://news.yale.edu/2017/10/09/watch-livestream-vice-president-al-gore-kerry-conversation ) (Including Gore putting his hands into a prayer position referring to the November 2020 elections!

[NBachers]

33. Gore / Kerry 20/20

[karynnj]

38. That was a possible 2000 ticket, but Gore chose Lieberman instead - he would have won with Kerry

The VP debate with Cheney would have gone far far better ... and winning New Hampshire would have made Florida unnecessary - as it turned out.

[NBachers]

39. A little too much triangulation in the wrong direction.

[Fresh_Start]

11. they should announce topic for the summit...how large of a tariff to charge

on goods and services from non-compliant countries.

[pandr32]

12. He'll probably show and push his way through to the front

[Dave Starsky]

14. Then I hope security literally throws him out on his ass.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't seem to see you on the guest list."

WHAMMMM!

[pandr32]

16. I would pay to see that!

[gratuitous]

13. Trump has already announced his intention to withdraw from the climate accords

Why would you invite a head of state from a non-participating country, even such a powerful country as the United States?

[SCantiGOP]

17. right

Don't understand some earlier comments. He has withdrawn the US so why would he be invited? I don't expect to get invited to the Republican convention next time either.

[Thor_MN]

29. A non-participating country? The only non-participating country...

Syria signed on. Dolt 45 has made us absolute last in this aspect.

We are number #LAST. as in #LoserTrump.

[unblock]

18. "i didn't want to go anyway. it's a bad summit, very bad, one of the worst. i know summits,

and this one? not good."

[DemoTex]

19. Persona Non Grata

President Pariah

[Johonny]

20. Gonna be hard to re-negotiate when no one wants you there...

[TeamPooka]

21. He is a waste of a good chair at the table. Keep his poison out of the rooms.

[Leith]

23. Good

It's one less opportunity for him to embarrass the fuck out of us.

[C Moon]

25. This will get interesting...Trump seems to hate being beat to the punch.

He'll want revenge: so destruction of the issue in the U.S. will be his next NFL-kneeler-style focus.

[muntrv]

26. C'mon USA, uninvite Twittler!

[Hulk]

27. Saved us some expense and more international humiliation.

Nothing will get accomplished with this swirling, orange wrecking ball. Just as well put the USA on hold for three more years. I seriously hope it won’t be longer than that.

[malaise]

30. Good

Fuck the Con

[Iliyah]

31. Also, the President of the United States was labelled as the

"Most Powerful" leader of the free world. Although t-rump is illegitimate, a-hole even lost that titled.

[JDC]

32. Loser leaders of the free world having party. I told them NO. Busy that night MAGA!!!!!

[packman]

35. I'd feel sorry for him, but my empathy button is stuck

[Hekate]

36. Good. He'd just embarrass the hell out of us. Again. nt

[dembotoz]

37. Wondering if they might do an official condemnation of nonparticipation. more egg on our face

The yolks on us

[world wide wally]

40. American exceptionalism at work

[lagomorph777]

41. Why would they invite Turd?

They are meeting to get work done, not to babysit.

[ananda]

42. This country is a global embarrassment now.

Ugh

[Ezior]

44. Jerry Brown, Arnie, Al Gore and others are in Germany right now

For the climate summit in Bonn. Brown also met the Ministerpräsident of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann of the ruling Green party, to talk about climate change in Stuttgart.

We know there's more than "ugly America". Just make sure to convince all sane Americans to GOTV next time, and every time after the next time.

[diva77]

43. Can we send Jerry Brown?

[Corvo Bianco]

45. Watching him dump the whole food box in that koy pond

Paints him so clearly as the big dumb kid who you have to invite to your birthday party for charity and all the parents know he's struggling at home so they just let him act like a jackass.

[lunatica]

46. Well he did back out of the agreement

Who wants to look at that face anyway.

[perdita9]

47. No one wants their picture taken with Hair Fuhrer

I know I wouldn't.

[dreamland]

48. He'd waste the seat and put Ivampa in his place

Bad enough he put no brains in his place in the G20 last time. It was an insult to all those who did attend. Good for them to not waste their time. America is failing thanks to the orange menace.
