‘They’re all laughing at you’: Trump ridiculed for claiming US economy is ‘the talk of everyone’ at G7
President Donald Trump used his favorite social media platform to share his thoughts from Biarritz, France, where he’s attending the G7 economic summit.
“Our great economy is the talk of everyone!” Trump claimed, one day after U.S. markets plummeted as his trade war with China escalated.
With many worrying Trump is causing a recession, the president was brutally mocked for his tweet.
Here’s some of what people are saying:
Uh huh.
Most of the REAL TALK is behind your back, Spanky.
They're all laughing at you.
Not at us. Just YOU.#G7Summit pic.twitter.com/S86gmHfB1D— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) August 24, 2019

If it is so great, then why do you keep bitching about wanting a massive rate cut and delaying tariffs for the "holiday season"

They're talking about it, but not in a positive way. https://t.co/V2ThZstDCr

Just because you talk to everyone about it, that does not make it the talk of everyone.🤪

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has ended his Democratic presidential campaign.
De Blasio made the announcement Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where he explained his decision.
"I feel like I've contributed all I can to this primary election," he said, "and it's clearly not my time."
The mayor said he was optimistic about the Democratic Party's chances in the 2020 election, no matter who was nominated to face President Donald Trump.

CNN lays out damning timeline of Trump and Giuliani’s calls to Ukraine seeking dirt on Biden
Following Rudy Giuliani's extraordinary appearance on CNN on Thursday night, where he may have admitted the commission of a crime, the hosts of CNN's "New Day" compiled a timeline linking the approximate date of Trump's phone call that was flagged by a whistleblower to subsequent events involving Ukraine.
According to the timeline, presented by hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota, Trump spoke with the president of Ukraine on July 25, with Giuliani meeting with him later that month.
What followed was the August 12 whistleblower complaint and then Trump blocking aide to Ukraine by the end of the month.
Politics is often conceived as a type of game. To win, a person or group must amass more power than the other players in order to advance their own goals. Victory can be achieved through cooperation with the other players, domination over them or some combination of the two.
This article first appeared in Salon.
Alternatively, a person or group can decide not to participate in this current version of politics, while they seek to invent their own game with different rules.
