The Very Stable Genius and the runup to G7: It gets worse

Just before departing for Quebec, he throws this into the mix:

President Trump called on allies to reinstate Russia as part of the G7 Friday, deepening a rift over trade policy that spilled out on Twitter just days ahead of the summit in Canada.
And just why does he want to reinstate this country that harasses our planes and ships, meddles in our elections, supports Assad in Syria, and assassinates its ruling regime's own political opposition?

I'm afraid the VSG's signature circular reasoning is not going to be of any help here:

" . . I would recommend — and it’s up to them — but Russia should be in the meeting, it should be a part of it. You know, whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run and the G-7 — which used to be the G-8, they threw Russia out — they should let Russia come back in because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.” 
And that "We have a world to run" is a telling touch of classic VSG arrogance. Not lead, mind you, but run.

Surreal.

  1. Nothing but a Humongous Bully! Didja see where Romney says Trump will win big in 2020? I hope that's reverse psychology.

  2. I can’t imagine a Republican who could successfully primary him or aDem who could defeat him in the fall. It gives me no pleasure to say that, but that’s what I see.

  3. We got 2 falls before "THE fall." Everything he does between now and this fall is going to be phony baloney showmanship and enough are swayed that he may be OK with maintaining Republican majorities in Congress. It ain't gonna happen, but I'm for voting out every Republican this fall to disarm him legislatively but he'll just bully his way even more brusquely and atrociously. Look at what he's done and doing to his own hires? Of course I like what he's doing to Sessions. He just cut his balls on the federal marijuana issue, just to cut his balls. That's how this demon operates. In that situation though, I like it, I like it...
