    Okay - it is the Dailymail but on the upside for Trump supporters it leans hard right so you should find it trustworthy

    Bottom line Trump”s pathology seems to be worsening.. His complete self interest is eclipsing everything

    His behavior is compatible with what he always advocated: the pandemic is not dangerous, we must not let ourselves be dominated by the virus, it will go away on its own.

    He could play golf during a nuclear attack, his supporters would find a way to defend him.

    At this point, if Trump is just so uninterested in doing his job, or is spending so much time trying to keep his job, that he isn't doing
    his job, he should just hand everything over to Pence.

    Right now, the legacy Trump is leaving is that of Nero fiddling while Covid burns and Rudy melts ...

    Absolutely

    Unfortunately this is not an uncommon mindset you see in narcissistic personality. Firstly they want, covet, high profile jobs because they see them as being “easy”. Part of the pathology is a tendency to attribute poor behaviour to others because it excuses theirs. I am betting if you confronted Trump bout golfing he would claim Obama golf far far more than he does.

    Indeed. He can’t even bother to try to help the two Georgia senators who are fighting runoffs and could hand the senate to the dems.
    He’s too stupid to realize that if the cons lose the senate, his chances of getting any cover in congress from his cult cronies for his crimes will evaporate.
    America’s saving grace was that trump is a malignant narcissist and his character was his own worst enemy.
    A smarter demagogue would have easily won re-election.

    You should be pleased. Since he is a horrible human being bent on destroying the U.S. it is a good thing that he his playing golf instead of presidential duties. Right?

    I am... good call....

    The less he participates in anything having to do with POTUS, the better it is for America and the world.

    Let the Big Dog Eat, Donnie....

    Unfortunately, fall weather has descended on the DC area, so we will have to find something indoors that keeps him distracted. I suggest a mobile....

    I am. The more he tries to undermine the US for his personal grudges, the more he reveals himself to be a disgusting maggot unworthy of anyone’s support.
    Soon he’ll have lost all his non-cult support and be left on the ash heap of history with the rest of the losers.

    In no law that I have ever seen. But I understand the methodology. You criticize Trump for everything he does, even if he changes his mind and does what you wanted.

    No one should be pleased that the POTUS is not performing his duties that he took an oath to obey.

    Meh, who cares. Trump probably doesn't agree with G20 who likely think that the U.S. should distribute Covid vaccines globally before all Americans who want the vaccine have access. Global distribution before full American distribution is what Biden's advisers are recommending, and of course, why wouldn't the G20 ask America to distribute to them before us? I hope Trump's had a good round of golf if the story isn't fake news.

    Sorry.. I am... He's proven himself incapable and disinterested.... He broke his oath about COVID back in January by lying to the public... He can only do more harm than good now... Joe and the Governors are running the show on COVID, plus any future pandemic planning...

    Nobody in this mini-summit cares 1 iota what he has to say and vice versa...

    He took an oath to defend the American Constitution, not the G20 and the rest of the globalists who think America "owes them something".

    Are we supposed to care that Trump doesn't think there's anything to gain by listening to these idiots bloviate?

    Sorry. Biden advises putting the welfare of other countries above our own citizens. NOT the actions of a man protecting the US. Every US citizen who wants one should have a vaccine before anything goes outside our borders especially since we’re footing the bill.

    When you disengage from the world, the world disengages from you. Already we are seeing new trade alliances being created between the EU and China,
    and the Pacific Rim countries are disengaging from the US and creating their own alliances.

    Trump fanatics seem to have a hard time with the concept of unintended consequences.

    EU decision to engage with the fascist regime in China is exactly why we need to distance ourselves from them.

    The EU is our largest trading partner. You are calling for us to cut off our own nose to spite our face.

    What previous administrations did was to ENGAGE with the EU and other trading partners to keep them from turning to China markets - but Trump screwed
    up and alienated our EU partners so they said **** Trump and turned to China. That was stupid on Trump's part. It makes China stronger.

    You think Europeans are going to buy US products if the US treats the EU like dogs?
    You really don't understand commerce, do you? Branding plays a huge part in sales - and if your brand is seen
    as looking down on the people of the EU, they aren't going to buy your products.

    Do you go into a store to buy things if you think the owner of the store hates your guts?

    No argument except that I don't see failing to play with one of many international organizations is a presidential duty. I would view it as a presidential pain in the ass.

    Apparently the same is true with the EU. The unintended consequences of trading with them are serious.
