As the G7 summit draws to a close in Europe and President Trump heads back to the United States on Air Force One, it might be advisable for staffers to have an oxygen tank and Gatorade ready for the leader of the free world before he settles down for a 12-hour nap.
At the conclusion of the summit, European leaders walked through the streets of Sicily to the cheers of onlookers. Meanwhile, Trump rode the 700 yards from the amphitheater to a nearby piazza in a golf cart:
The hits just keep on comin'

700 yards and this overweight man-child had to ride in a golf cart. Yeah, that’s the image you want the world to see.
Let’s not forget that this is the same Donald Trump who endlessly chided his Democratic rival, Hilary Clinton, for taking a few days off when she had pneumonia. Additionally, at one of the 2016 presidential debates, Trump questioned if Clinton had the “stamina” to be Commander-in-Chief.
Trump has been on a nine-day overseas trip to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Europe. He was scheduled to hold a rally in Iowa next Thursday, but that has abruptly been canceled. The reason? According to an email from the administration:
“Due to an unforeseen change in President Trump’s schedule, we will need to unfortunately postpone the previously scheduled rally in Cedar Rapids on June 1st.”
The unforeseen change? A 70-year-old overweight man who is fond of fast food and whose son-in-law is now the subject of a federal investigation into collusion with Russian agents is exhausted and is gonna need a week or two off to recover.
Now I’m not here to criticize Trump for being over the hill and a fat ass to boot. But you have to wonder: Is this man up to doing the job he was given by his BFF Vladimir Putin? Putin rides around on horses, shirtless, and he places his bets on a guy who can’t manage to walk 700 yards? Not sure who that makes more pathetic, Trump or Putin.
Scratch that. The most pathetic one will always be Trump.
