My personal list of Trump outrages just hit 175. It is probably not exhaustive, but this milestone, or is that millstone, was completed by Trump’s non-presence at the G-7 meeting on global warming and climate change. I haven’t even included his lies about his wife knowing Kim Jong-un, and his bad-mouthing of a former President in favor of Vladimir Putin. The Amazon burns while Trump fiddles. We knew that Trump was an empty suit, all Tweet and no meat, but, now, he is also an empty chair. What a stunning visual commentary to see the leaders of the free world discussing the perils of the climate sans Trump.
Trump is MIA. He is isolated, and irrelevant. The world’s leaders have moved on. It is embarrassing and destructive. We no longer lead. It is stunning how quickly this has happened, and how complicit the Republican Party has been in the process. We had an empty chair at the G-7, but we still have an empty chair in the Oval Office. He is an empty suit. Maybe it’s time for a dress.
