G7 rescheduled so Trump can attend White House cage match

Source: msn/Deutsche-Welle

11h


France has reportedly postponed this year's G7 summit in the spa town of Evian-les-Bains in order not to conflict with US President Donald Trump's 80th birthday on June 14.

The meeting of G7 leaders was originally scheduled for June 14-16.

However, US magazine Politico reported that the event has been moved to June 15-17 in order to not disrupt the 47th US president's birthday celebrations. The US also marks Flag Day on June 14.

The White House this year has plans to hold a mixed martial arts fight on the grounds of the White House for Trump's entertainment. Trump is close friends with Dana White, the CEO and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Half of the fighters are Russian or Eastern European. White, the owner seems awfully friendly and supportive of those fighters.
I just get that vibe.
So I quit watching.

No, Steven Seagal does not lead the UFC; the UFC is led by figures like Dana White (President) and owned by Endeavor, while Seagal is an actor and martial artist known for Aikido, but holds no official role in the organization.

Seagal is a batshit asshole who doesn't know evil leaders from good leaders, but sucks up to where power is. He's publicly called Putin "one of the greatest world leaders, if not the greatest world leader, alive today". Their friendship was reportedly forged over a mutual love of martial arts.
In 2016, Putin personally granted Seagal Russian citizenship at an official ceremony in the Kremlin. Seagal had reportedly asked "insistently and over a lengthy period" to be granted citizenship due to his "warm feelings" for the country.
In 2018, the Russian Foreign Ministry appointed Seagal as a special representative for Russian-American humanitarian relations.
Putin has bestowed the Russian "Order of Friendship" award on Seagal for his contributions to international cooperation. Seagal has also attended major Russian events, including Victory Day celebrations and Putin's inauguration ceremonies.
Seagal has been a vocal supporter of Russia's government and its actions, including the annexation of Crimea, and has joined a pro-Kremlin political party. He has also blamed the West for the conflict in Ukraine.

I've predicted I'll be opening that bottle of champagne we've been saving for a certain obituary... before his next birthday. So, maybe they can put it back to when they want it and ignore what the US thinks.

And unfortunately, they have put in charge, an idiot narcissist who can do actual real damage to other nations, traditional allies or not. He can develop a grudge on anyone he thinks is slighting him in any way.

So holding their noses and coddling the orange anus is required to get the best deals for their citizens they represent.

The reality is that everyone, including little Marko and the couch fucker, know that the other leaders think he's a toddler and laugh behind his back. I don't think I've ever seen such a delusional narcissist as Trump in my lifetime.

I'm embarrassed for our country. I'm embarrassed for the G7. I'm embarrassed and outraged that such a travesty will be held on OUR lawn.

Surprising that another military parade is not already being planned for his birthday.

So, France just moved the G7 summit to accommodate Trump’s 80th birthday "cage match" on the White House lawn. We’ve officially reached the "Idiocracy" stage of American diplomacy. While the world faces global economic shifts and security crises, the "leader of the free world" has the rest of the G7 cooling their heels in Evian so he can watch people punch each other in the face on his birthday.

Can you imagine any other president in history demanding the world reschedule its summit for a reality TV stunt? The embarrassment is bottomless.
