The triumphant return

Dennis Hartley sent along some footage of Trump’s return from the G20 that I hadn’t seen before:

He hasn’t made his horse a consul (yet) but he did have his inexperienced, unqualified, mannequin daughter fill in for him at meetings of the heads of state of the top 20 governments on planet earth. Seriously.

Robert Mackey at the Intercept has the story:

When President Donald Trump decided on Saturday to skip part of a discussion about what the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies could do to help Africans improve their lives at home — rather than risk them by migrating to Europe — there was no shortage of cabinet members who could have taken his seat between China’s President, Xi Jinping, and the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Theresa May.

The American delegation to the Group of 20 conference in Hamburg, Germany includes Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who is fourth in line for the presidency, as well as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

That Trump chose, instead, to seat his daughter, Ivanka, alongside the other 19 heads of state, was perhaps the most stunning illustration to date that he sees a complete lack of experience in affairs of state as no barrier at all to treating her as his de facto vice president.

Then the Russian government punked Trump again, and published a picture of it:

Lukash is Putin’s rep at the G20. She later deleted the pic.

Remember the Russians also published the pics of trump yukking it up with Lavrov and Kislyak. They love to fuck with him.

Here’s Trump praising the fruit of his loins and explaining that she’s had it very tough:
