It only took a few hours of summitry in the Canadian woods on Monday for President Donald Trump to decide he’d rather be elsewhere.

Returning to Washington on an overnight flight, Trump attributed his decision to abruptly abandon the Group of 7 summit to operational security, suggesting there could be prying ears among the fir trees listening to his secret conversations.

“I don’t believe in telephones, because people like you listen to them,” he told reporters on Air Force One. “Being on the scene is much better, and we did everything I had to do at the G7.”

    From independent media It looks like Israel poked the bear too early, and Trump is so obsessed with optics and delusions of grandeur his military intelligence couldn’t get their commander and chief to move fast enough. Now Israel’s Iron Dome is out of commission, almost out of missiles, and those that are launched are out of control. This doesn’t look good at all.
