ALAS, the G20 is now the G19.
The United States has abdicated any leadership role in the community of nations. The meeting in Germany of the 20 top economic powerhouses in the world underscored the futility of Donald Trump's America First campaign.

While Trump walked away from the Paris climate agreement, 19 of the nations -- including Russia and China -- were signing on the dotted line to reduce the factors that is hastening of the melting of the polar icecaps affecting climates and shorelines around the world.
RELATED: Is Trump calling for a new Crusade?While the world's -- not the just the U.S. -- intelligence agencies confirm Russian meddling in America's election process, Trump accepts without question the denial by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
