"He's a child going to a playdate": Trump's inability to talk to world leaders [View all]

On MSNBC Saturday, former professor and Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed blasted President Donald Trump’s inability to behave like a world leader at the G7 summit, or to have meaningful dialogues with the heads of allied countries.

“Abdul, do you think there is any chance that Donald Trump gets through this weekend without any drama?” asked anchor Alex Witt.

“Well, look, if you used the last week as any indication, I think it’s no chance,” said El-Sayed. “We’re talking about the president of the United States as if he’s a child going to a playdate. Can he, will he behave?”

El-Sayed added “I know in my state of Michigan, he is hurting people, whether you’re talking about manufacturing or you’re talking about farmers in our state. And it’s happening all over the country. This is serious. This is about whether or not you can come together with leaders of other countries and solve big global problems that,
by the way,
when it comes to Donald Trump, he started.”
