Australian Journalist’s Trump Teardown Goes Viral Amid Interest in G-20
By MAYA SALAMJULY 9, 2017
In an Australian news broadcast that seems to have resonated with Americans, a political journalist delivered a scathing
evaluation of President Trump’s performance last week at the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany.
Another viral moment from the gathering, this one a GIF, appears to show Chancellor Angela Merkel of
Germany, who hosted this year’s event, rolling her eyes at President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
The journalist, Chris Uhlmann, said in a segment originally broadcast on the program “Insiders,”
that Mr. Trump was an “uneasy, lonely, awkward figure” at the meeting and that the president “has no desire and no capacity to lead the world.”
What did we learn about @realDonaldTrump at this #G20?
While Google data on this year’s G-20 conference is still being calculated, search interest in the United
States appears to have surged compared with past years; interest in the G-20 had been weak since 2008.
