Giorgia Meloni Gives Trump Both Barrels!

Mr Trump can't help himself, can he?

His latest clumsy, un-diplomatic act is to claim the Italian Prime Minister "begged" to be photographed with him at the recent G7 junket, and he "felt sorry for her".

She didn't waste any time blasting back at him with "neither I nor Italy beg!" in an absolute tirade of anger.

Please take note Sir Keir - that's being a strong PM.

Trump is a giant orange pumpkin, he’s as stupid as a pumpkin and he seriously needs a lot of mental health assistance!

Good for the Italian PM.

Rubio was extremely rude to KS.

As always KS was the perfect diplomat.

I hope Trump disappears off to lala Land very quickly and very soon.

I hope JS is able to stay in the cabinet.

Our world is one big fat mess!

I don't hate Trump either but I despise him. I think his statements were symptomatic of his attitude to women.
There is also a photo of him attempting to kiss Brigitte Macron and she's fending him off.

I think it was rude of Marco Rubio to blank KS at the G7 meeting.
He shook hands with everyone except KS.
If I had had been KS I wouldn’t have bothered trying to be noticed & brush it off.

I don't think he did.

...When Rubio entered the room, he walked in after Trump/ Starmer etc were already seated.
He doesn't seek to blank Starmer - he was just moving one side of the table.
He greets the five people on that side of the table and moves straight to the side/front as though he's going to present something.

He doesn't greet Starmer directly because he is on the other side of the table - 5 of them are not greeted. He just greets the ones he has to navigate past.

This is such a non-story! Please watch the original footage.

Well that’s sounds far less like a snub (haven’t watched the original footage)

I’ve seen it & that’s my take on it.
You can clearly see KS looked embarrassed.

Ms. Meloni gave that old pedaphile narcissist hell .. And Carney as well ..

There was a post (reel ) that stated Trump has poor control over his bowels and smelt extremely bad like a skunk !!

Look at the Reels on Google You Tube ..

How gross !!!

There are several reels in reference to The G 7 Reunion that turned into a battlefield.

Can you link to what you saw please?

She was spitting angry - although I 100% believe her, I just prefer Kier's approach I thought her anger was a bit naive when everyone who matters - after 4+ years track-record - knows that Trump loves to wind-up & you can't believe a word he says & very few do. Just chalk it up to an idiot (Trump) fabricating - bit infra-dig to get all het-up about it, he'll just find it amusing.

To be fair, the French do go in for that cheek kissing business, so she had little choice but to comply with etiquette.

I'm not sure how much live reel was shown in the UK, but there was a funny dance in front of the Palace of Versailles where Trump heads off stage right and Mme Macron swiftly grabs him and tells him, "Hold your horses, we're going in THIS way behind you, up centre".

MartavTaurus Sat 20-Jun-26 19:26:45

Well, I don't know if she actually said that, but she put him firmly right! 🤣
