Trump left the G-7 Summit early, leading many to speculate that he has returned to DC because we are about to go to war with Iran. That is certainly plausible.
However, I agree with Richardson that there might be another explanation. Trump was out of his depth and looked clumsy and foolish next to the other leaders. The DC Press Corpse has largely rolled over for Trump, and his briefings are filled with sycophants and lackeys from places like NewsMax. The international press corps has no such compunction to roll over for him.
Trump is old. Trump is stupid. Trump is in obvious decline. Going to something like the G-7 Summit exposes this. The comical moment when Trump dropped his "trade agreement" and Prime Minister Starmer stooped down to pick them up made him look like the feeble old man that he is. (He also seemed to confuse the UK with the EU, a slip that would have dominated news coverage for a week if Biden did it.) When you place Trump next to normal people, his abnormality becomes more manifest.
Trump falls asleep in public and during meetings. He forgets things that no one who is president should forget.
I await Jake Tapper's lengthy report of Joe Biden's age.
