The G7 summit began this week in Canada and once again President Trump came to Russia's defense and said that they should be invited back to join the G7 group. Russia was booted out the G7 group after they illegally annexed Crimea four years ago. It is another stark reminder how President Trump is so wed to Putin and Russian wishes. Coupled with Trumps recent action on Tariffs against America's long time allies, Trump is splitting America's relationship with its allies. That is a split Putin has wanted for a long time.
And when one realizes that Donald Trump is the only Presidential candidate to ever seek the support and help from a foreign government to dig up dirt on an opponent and use the social media to spread falsehoods in support of Trump, every American should be outraged. And as President, Trump has kept up his cozy relationship with Putin and still has not implemented all the sanctions against Russia.
Trump will be leaving the summit early and skip the portion of the summit that has to do with environmental issues. He may not participate in the final report when the summit closes and the report is issued. The bottom line is President Trump is doing his best to destroy every thing good America has always stood for in favor of a partnership with America's largest threat and adversary, Russia. French President Macron remarked that Trump's isolationist and attitude toward the G7 could push the summit to be a G6 and reminded Trump G6 countries were larger than America. In other words, Trump's threats would not work.
Hillary Clinton did her best to warn the people during the 2016 campaign and 54% of those who voted in the 2016 election voted for some one other that Donald Trump. The majority of those who cast their votes understood what was at stake. And the President still believes that is fake news.
