quote [ Trump bashes Trudeau as 'very dishonest and weak' as G7 agreement crumbles ]
He shows up late, says his owners in Russia should be allowed back in the G7, insults our closest allies, says he may cancel trade to..everybody, leaves early, won't endorse G7 statement.
Trump criticizes Justin Trudeau, says US won't endorse G7 statement
This was an unmitigated disaster...all of it on Trump. Donald Trump held a press conference at the G7 -- here are the 38 wildest things he said Now he heads off for North Korea...Maybe the Dooms Day Prepers were right after all.

It's normal to feel that people you disagree with politically are offering bad solutions to our problems. But Trump has brought something new: his policy agenda is almost entirely directed at problems we don't have -- problems that exist only in his warped imagination 1/
These include:
- A wave of violent crime by undocumented immigrants
- Massive illegal voting by the same
- Massive Canadian tariffs against US goods
- Conspiracy by the Elders of Zion to take over the world
OK, he hasn't actually gone after point #4, but give him time 2/

Journalists obviously have a hard time coping with all of this. They're afraid to say that the president is completely out of touch with reality -- that sounds "unbalanced." So, all too often, they pretend that he's talking about something real 3/
This amounts, in practice, to huge pro-Trump bias: you're bothsidesing a debate where one side isn't even wrong, just completely insane And the other dodge -- instead of talking about the substance, talk about how it's playing with Real Americans in diners -- is just as bad 4/
There's a test taking place as you read this: Trump defenders are out there claiming that Justin Trudeau, not Trump, blew up the summit. This is pure gaslighting; how many reporters will pretend to take it seriously? 5/
