Donald Trump turned up late to a G7 gender equality meeting and people’s reaction was just perfect
Donald Trump turned up 17 minutes late to a G7 meeting and the look on his fellow world leaders’ faces was just a picture.
Not just any meeting, it turned out, a gender equality meeting. Which might explain the expression on the face of Christine Lagarde – Google, Google – managing director of the International Monetary Fund.

This is a little background on what happened.
Donald Trump arrives late to the working breakfast on women's empowerment. It appears to be quite the embarrassing moment as other leaders fuss/gasp when he arrives mid-opening comments. It also means leaders decided to start without him. So that too.

As ever, I wonder if he’s doing this to play to his “hur, hur, stuff those people” audience. But yes.

The constant incongruity of this swollen reality TV babyman on the political stage is really messing with my mind. This dark timeline does not agree with me.

It still doesn’t feel real. Well over a year on.

Amen to that.
