https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/g7-leaders-take-a-stroll-but-trump-takes-a-golf-cart-hhprv8r7bThe distance between Donald Trump and his G7 partners was spelled out dramatically today when Theresa May and the leaders of Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Canada strolled the streets of Taormina, Sicily while he followed in a golf cart.
The six are planning to put pressure on Mr Trump over his opposition to free trade and efforts to combat climate change. They walked the 700 yards from the traditional G7 group photo, taken at a Greek amphitheatre, to a piazza in the hilltop town, but Mr Trump stayed behind until he could take a seat in the electric vehicle.
He had been the last to arrive for the photo, keeping the others waiting at the amphitheatre, which commands sweeping views over the Mediterranean.

Note how Merkel and May are trying to stand as far away from him as possible.

It didn't really bother me that he flew in a private jet to see his son play in a sporting event. No, it was the fact that he had to go the last 200 yards in a limousine.

If President Trump had an ounce of personal integrity, the shame of it all would have him resigning.

(497 posts)20. Is this the same Trump that during the campaign claimed that Hillary had no stamina?
As well as being too unfit to handle the walk, I'm pretty sure that he realized that no one wanted to walk or talk with him.
