Trump is an all-or-nothing man

Watch out, Kim Jong-un, there's an angry Donald Trump preparing to meet you. Or at least it seems he is angry after his bust-up with Justin Trudeau at the G7 summit. But you're never quite sure with Trump. Was he genuinely angry or was he play-acting to put the frighteneres on the North Korean leader? If he could do this to a close ally, what might he do to the Little Rocket Man if he so much as dares to disobey him? On the face of it, Trump's loss of temper at the G7 and his early departure could have been a ruse to prepare the ground for his first session with Kim. But somehow, although this was the interpretation put on Trump's bullying conduct at the G7, I doubt he was abusing his allies to send a message to Kim. I think Trump was just plain bad-tempered at the summit with his closest allies because they didn't do what he wanted them to do. He wanted them to bow down to his infinite power and Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, in particular, was having none of it. Trudeau's message to Trump was the same one given by Hugh Grant, as the Briish prime minister, in the film Love Actually when the visiting American president claimed he had got everytning he wanted out of the meeting at Number 10 Downing St. Grant told a press conference that Britain was a great country that was not going to be bullied by the US. Trudeau must have seen the film because he used almost the same line in rejecting Trump's tariffs on imported steel and aluminium. Trump's tweets about the Canadian leader after the G7 in which he called Trudeau weak and dishonest were rude and disrespectful. No wonder Angela Merkel said the tweets were disappointing and depressing. I wonder what Therea May thought. As far as Trump was concerned she wasn't even there because he made no reference to her at all when he listed the other leaders. I can't recall a G7 summit ending in such disarray. Very bad news for the transatlantic alliance. But will the bad vibes from the G7 summit help Trump to achieve success at the summit with Kim on the Singapore island? Well, Trump has said he will know within one minute whether he is going to get on with Kim or not. Yikes, that's just 60 seconds. So typical of Trump. It's all or bust. He's the all-or-nothing man. If Kim fails to smile or he looks disrespectful in that first exchange, it could all be over. Instant walk-out time for the leader of the Western world. In fact what will probably happen is that Trump and Kim will become instant mates. Kim is far more Trump's type than Trudeau or Merkel or even Emmanuel Macron. So Trump will come out smiling and his post-Singapore tweets will be all about what a wonderful man Kim is. Trudeau and the rest can get to the back of the queue!!
