Angela and Emmanuel and Justin
Trump did a press conference before he hopped on the plane to Singapore to meet that nice Mister Kim.
Q As you were heading into these G7 talks, there was a sense that America’s closest allies were frustrated with you and angry with you, and that you were angry with them and that you were leaving here early to go meet for more friendlier talks with Kim Jong Un in Singapore. And I’m wondering if you —
THE PRESIDENT: It’s well put, I think.
Q — if you view it the same way. And do you view the U.S. alliance system shifting under your presidency, away —
THE PRESIDENT: Who are you with, out of curiosity?
Q CNN.
THE PRESIDENT: I figured. Fake News CNN. The worst. But I could tell by the question. I had no idea you were CNN. After the question, I was just curious as to who you were with. You were CNN.
You see how sharp he is? He had no idea but he could tell. How could he tell (while having no idea)? He didn’t like the question. That makes it Fake.
I would say that the level of relationship is a 10. We have a great relationship. Angela and Emmanuel and Justin. I would say the relationship is a 10.
Ooooooooooh look at that, they have such a great relationship that he calls them Angela and Emmanuel and Justin, as if they were best friends and about to sail up the lake to play pirates with the Amazons. I guess Theresa has to stay behind to cook the potatoes.
No, we have a very good relationship, and I don’t blame these people, but I will blame them if they don’t act smart and do what they have to do — because they have no choice. I’ll be honest with you, they have no choice.
They’re either going to make the trades fair, because our farmers have been hurt. You look at our farmers. For 15 years, the graph is going just like this — down. Our farmers have been hurt, our workers have been hurt. Our companies have moved out and moved to Mexico and other countries, including Canada.
Now, we are going to fix that situation. And if it’s not fixed, we’re not going to deal with these countries. But the relationship that I’ve had is great. So you can tell that to your fake friends at CNN.
The relationship that I’ve had with the people, the leaders of these countries, has been — I would really, rate it on a scale of 0 to 10, I would rate it a 10.
Oops. This just in:
Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

Not a 10 any more then?
…And now I kind of want the CBC to start using the ‘Donnie from Queens’ moniker.
Maybe it’s just me being picky but doesn’t an ‘either’ require an ‘or’?
I was about to make a sarky comment about him putting ‘fake’ in the wrong place but then I realised that this wasn’t meant as an insult; fake friends are the only friends that Donnie’s ever known (and been), so he probably assumes that it’s a universal norm.
“Or” is for losers! Sad!
‘Or’ would require him to have a long enough memory to recall the start of the sentence.
