Split screen: Biden heads to G7 summit as Trump returns to Capitol Hill
RollCall ^ | June 12 | By John T. Bennett

Posted on 06/12/2024 1:13:13 PM PDT by RandFan

ANALYSIS — President Joe Biden on Wednesday headed to Italy for a G7 summit that lacks a central theme — but with the Middle East on fire, Europe drifting to the right, China flooding markets with cheap goods and his own political future in doubt.

He also left one day after his son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty by a Wilmington, Del., jury on three gun-related charges, possibly slowing any momentum he picked up from recent positive economic trends and a state visit in France that honored D-Day veterans while talking of increased cooperation with America’s oldest ally.

The trip also is set to provide yet another 2024 campaign split screen. That’s because while Biden will be huddling with the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, former President Donald Trump is slated to be in Washington on Thursday. The presumed Republican presidential nominee is scheduled to speak to Business Roundtable CEOs, as well as House and Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill. The planned meetings will be Trump’s first with congressional Republicans since he became a felon, convicted on May 30 by a 12-person jury in Manhattan.

...

All G7 leaders will participate in a Thursday meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Biden will huddle with the wartime president one-on-one before they address the media together.

That likely will be the first time reporters will have a chance to ask Biden about his son’s guilty verdict, after which the president altered his plans and left Washington, D.C., for his Wilmington, Del., residence on Tuesday afternoon to be with his family.

There will be very little coverage of this senile old pedophile as he stumbles around in his soiled nappy getting laughed at by euro trash.
