again, my view on many world leaders has nothing to do with trump. trudeau is not an ineffective leader because of trump. neither is merkel, macron, mattarella, may. etc.
rhetoric is rhetoric. it's inconsequential and impossible to be a talking point. consequently, it should never stand in the way of a deal. we all have to sit through baloney rhetoric to get to the nitty gritty deal. fact is trump caved on the sunset clause in spite of all his preG7 rhetoric much of it included him claiming how important the sunset clause was. World leaders are supposed to be professional enough to segue past silly rhetoric and temper tantrum throwing clowns.

I'm not trying to pigeon hole you into a corner btw, just saying I think there was a lot more going into that meeting on the trade deal, than what was said just before or right after. I think for the most part world leaders do not look at Trump as someone they can deal with because he clearly breaks deals he's made and what he asks for is usually unrealistic. Trump has caused that problem for himself and now we get to suffer because of it due to a Republican controlled Congress of do nothings that are unwilling to uphold their Constitutional duties to hold the WH in check.
