Trump's unusual appearance at the G7 catches analyst's eye

Summary
Salon columnist Heather Digby Parton noted President Donald Trump appeared unusually exhausted at the Group of Seven summit in France, his worn demeanor revealing more about his weakened standing than his Iran agreement. The 80-year-old president, who stayed late at a White House UFC birthday celebration before traveling to Évian-les-Bains, notably lacked his usual bronze makeup, wrote Parton. "His energy is notably low, especially for a gathering like this one; meetings with Europeans usually turn him combative and hostile," she added.Parton characterized Trump as still smarting over Western leaders' refusal to support his Iran war, now promoting his memorandum of understanding as heroic despite effectively losing the conflict. The new agreement extends a 60-day ceasefire, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, lifts Iranian oil sanctions, and establishes a $300 billion reconstruction fund while deferring nuclear negotiations. Trump signed the deal at Versailles, where he speculated about adding a hall of mirrors to his planned White House ballroom.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
