Donald Trump slammed for ‘psychopathic’

President Donald Trump has drawn backlash for abruptly leaving the G7 summit in Canada a day early, citing unspecified “big stuff” as the reason. The White House said his departure was due to events in the Middle East, but Trump did not participate in a joint G7 statement urging a de-escalation of hostilities, including a ceasefire in Gaza. Instead, he posted on social media downplaying the idea that he left to support a peace effort, calling French President Emmanuel Macron “publicity seeking” and claiming his reason for returning to Washington was “much bigger” than a ceasefire.

Critics have slammed Trump’s vague explanation and his online comments as irresponsible and petty, questioning what could be more important than international diplomacy or Middle East peace. Some said Macron’s original statement, which assumed Trump was acting in a diplomatic capacity, made him look more presidential than he actually was. Trump later posted that Iran missed an opportunity by not agreeing to a deal he proposed and reiterated that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. His comments and early exit have sparked international concern and criticism from allies and political observers alike.
