Donald Trump goes nuts about Regis Philbin and Sean Connery in the middle of the G7 summit
Donald Trump started off his G7 summit by misspelling Emmanuel Macron’s first and last name, then deleting it, then later misspelling his first and last name again. He also incoherently declared that “the media is destroying the free press,” leading to a thousand punchlines. So today, Trump tried taking a different tack. It didn’t work for him either.
If you can’t come off coherently while talking about foreign policy and world leaders, then maybe it’s easier to just start tweeting out birthday greetings. We’re not sure of the logic in that one, but Donald Trump apparently saw it as a viable plan for getting himself through day two of the G7 summit.
Donald Trump tweeted “Happy Birthday Sean!” today, in reference to Sean Connery, while he was supposed to be meeting with world leaders. Then a few minutes later Trump tweeted “Happy Birthday Regis, a truly special man!” Then three hours later, Trump tweeted “Happy Birthday Vince!” in reference to WWE boss Vince McMahon.
We checked, and these tweets didn’t come from a Trump parody account. Trump really did spend all day tweeting out birthday greetings to people in lieu of paying attention to what was going on at the G7 summit. We suppose we should be impressed that he spelled Regis, Sean, and Vince correctly. Then again, he did only tweet their first names.
