G20 - Picture worth 1,000 words

AROUND THE BLOCK

I learned…

I learned today that while I’m on the “picture is worth a thousand words” theme, I couldn’t let this one go:

Trump is flanked by two of the more dispicable world figures, Erdogan of Turkey (I guess Jared forgot to tell dad-in-law about Erdogan's antipathy towards Israel – Sheldon Adelson, where are you when we finally need you?) and Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud...whew, what a mouthful. Why don't we just call him by his nickname –  no, not MBS, his other nickname: The Butcher of Riyadh. 

I’m still trying to figure out how Merkel of Germany and Macron of France made the front row (albeit on the edges) while May (UK) and Trudeau (Canada) were relegated to the back.

And Putin's somewhat off-center position, was clearly a demonstration of his well-known humility

Just think…at next year’s G20, after Trump invites his BFF Kim Jung-Un to participate (who's next, Kim Jung-Deux? Just saying), perhaps he can stand next to MBS and Trump so we can get a real great “Axis of Evil" photo op.

Oh yeah…and don’t forget Boris Johnson will probably be at  G20/2020.

And maybe, just to lighten things up (and because given his grasp of the world economy, there's no other real reason for Trump to be there), Trump, Boris and Kim can participate in a new TV reality show, “World Leader with the Worst Haircut." Think of the ratings. Think of the ways Putin will interfere with the judging to ensure a Trump win! Imagine the press gaggle –  Donald J. Trump, bragging that he's the first sitting American president to compete in, and win, the “World Leader with the Worst Haircut” contest.

Imagine. No wait, you don't have to imagine, you know it's going to happen.

And maybe, just maybe, the aforementioned Sheldon Adelson, who must have won a "Worst Haircut" contest sometime, somewhere, can be the MC.
