Scenes from the G7
Courtesy of a livestream on RUPTLY TV. This is a strange, almost incoherent livestream with apparent jump cuts. Maybe it's like a "best of" reel.
Macron walking with his entourage across an empty plaza looking troubled and unhappy.
Boris Johnson crossing a plaza with another man, gesturing effusively and laughing uproariously.
Trump sitting alone at a conference table with his lips clenched. He can't sit still.
Macron arrives inside the conference hall, now looking less anxious.
Trump at the conference table twisting his mouth around and trying to suck in his gut. (It has gotten noticeably larger--it looks like something is trying to break out from inside his stomach.)
Abe sitting at the table looking especially grim.
Boris Johnson arrives at the conference hall. Even though there's only one way to go, he looks very confused about where to go. Someone helps him.
Trump rises, half-standing, then sits again, pulling his jacket closed, then it falls open. Nobody is talking to him.
Justin Trudeau standing at ease but a bit of a smirk.
Boris Johnson shaking hands with Macron and he won't let go. Still laughing and effusive. Macron trying to end the hand shake and move on.
Everybody is socializing now in small groups of two or three except Trump. Macron greets Merkel.
Trump scratching his nose trying to figure out which conversation to interrupt.
Jump Cut to: Trump speaking assertively at Macron, jabbing his finger around.
Jump Cut: Now Trump interrupting a conversation between Abe and Macron, putting his hands on their shoulders.
Justin Trudeau smirking.
Boris Johnson keeps touching people in strange ways.
Finally they take their seats.
Shot of Abe still looking particularly grim.
Livestream ends for now...
