On Monday, the G7 nations met in Canada. As a prelude to the main event, Trump and Canadian PM Mark Carney had scheduled a press conference. The two men stood in front of cameras while reporters lobbed questions at them. (Video below)
The G7 summit is a forum for the West’s leading national economies, the European Union, and Japan, to hash out international agreements that benefit the citizens of the free world. Trump used the photo op to whine about immigrants in blue cities.
He offered his usual bullshit:
“[These countries] empty their jails out into the US. Most of those people are in the cities. All blue cities. All Democrat-run cities. And they think they are going to use them to vote. It’s not going to happen.”
But as he was about to hit his stride, Carney decided that was enough of that. He shut the blathering bloviator down. As Carney is a Canadian, he was polite and respectful. He turned to America’s wannabe fascist ruler and told him his intention to halt the careening press conference before it lept the rails. His firm demeanor forced Trump to smile his agreement to Carney stiff-arming the media.
Carney stood center stage as Trump receded into the background. The Canadian PM, with unflappable grace, raised his hands. And announced that he had better things to do than to listen to America’s President lying to the press.
He said:
Thank you. If you don’t mind, I’m going to exercise my role, if you will, as G7 chair since we have a few more minutes with the President and his team. And then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues.
As Carney continued in French, the media’ snapping turtles shouted uselessly. The last image on the video is a large, dark-suited Canadian official blocking access to the two leaders, saying:
“Thank you. That’s it. That’s it. Thank you very much. OUT. OK guys. OUT. Thank you.”
As Carney showed his quiet dominance, Trump stood behind him, useless and silent. Like a firm teacher with a recalcitrant child, Carney had put a bumptious boy in his place.
