Subject: Out of town pool report #7 — more Trump comments
Abe, speaking Japanese with a translator nearby, congratulated Trump on the birth of his 10th grandchild.
Abe said the US-Japan relationship is strong and that there is “robust trust” between the two countries.
He said that the G7 “could send a powerful message about solving global challenges.”
Trump on a trade deal with Japan: “We’re working on one and we’re fairly close.”
Asks Lighthizer, who said: “Hopefully as a result of this meeting we’ll be able to come to an agreement about core principles.”
Q: did you sign off on Macron speaking to Iran on behalf of the G7?
Trump: “No I haven’t discussed that. No I haven’t.”
“I also support PM Abe’s outreach, because he’s also speaking to Iran... We’ll do our own outreach. But you can’t stop people from talking. If they want to talk, they can talk.”
On his lunch Saturday w Macron:
“I think it was the best hour and a half I’ve ever spent with him...and yet I picked up stories and I read the opposite.”
On Russia rejoining the G7, Trump said it’s an ongoing discussion, claims he was surprised that some leaders agree with him but he wouldn’t say who when asked.
Still talking...

Noticed a trend. Many of those attacking me “from the right,” are also obsessed with proving Q is a fraud.
Q is just a bunch of patriots trying to find patterns in the chaos. They love Trump and hate #DeepState.
WHY are these people so terrified of them?
Are they #DeepState?
