So the 44th G7 summit happened . . .
 |
| 14th G7 summit, 1988 in Toronto |
The Group of Seven (G7), countries that make up more than 60% of the global net wealth, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. For those who count eight people, representation from the European Union is also allowed to attend . . . but have to sit at the kids' table.
you know where leaders of wealthy countries get together, try to solve economic problems, or at least appear rational and leader-ish for the cameras . . .

3rd G7 summit, 1977 in London
(I love that Jimmy Carter is holding The Queen Mother's hand.) |
The first We Have More Money Than You Do summit was held in 1975 and consisted of a Group of Six (G6) excluding Canada.
but this year . . .
 |
| 36th G8 summit, 2010 in Ontario |
Russia, with a national wealth lower than the We Have More Money Than You Do membership requirements, was allowed to participate in 1997, making a Group of Eight (G8). However, because the group also viewed themselves as supportive of democracies, human rights, and such, Russia was suspended in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea.
the G6 + 1 egomaniacal racists tried to stage an intervention . . .
and managed some subtle, but hilarious trolling.
Then there was a gift from Justin Trudeau . . .
handsome Canadian MP . . .
and desire of Trump women.
Trudeau presented Trump with a photo of Friedrich Trump's 1897 venture, The Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, a brothel offering round-the-clock services.
To conclude this brief chapter in the sordid affairs of Trumps past and present, a bit of fan-fiction from our national security friends on Twitter.
