@CookieCrumbs ummm, exciting?🤣 More like "here we go again"😁
@Ontheroad
Exciting to see what he’ll come up with this time…

It’s like those toys you get in a Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs.

@CookieCrumbs "this time" How about "anytime" and there is no telling what "excitement" he'll bring to the table. They guy puts new meaning in "loose canon on deck"

Trump doesn't know what he is going to do 10 minutes from now, never mind in Decemebr.

Also "The best is yet to come" + Trump = Danger Will Robinson, Danger!

@Ontheroad I was thinking more like the squid dude in the Star Wars movies who says “it’s a trap “

That site's home page does not look very officially G20! Perhaps the host is allowed to design it.

A poorly-posed photograph shows Mr. Trump giving a half-hearted version of the old Communist clenched-fist salute while looking grim-faced and downwards, eyes hidden by a baseball cap labelled "USA" . Below this, we read:

Welcome to the U.S. Presidency of the 2026 G20

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are proud to host the 2026 G20, in the beautiful city of Miami. Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States is returning the G20 to its core mission: driving economic growth, unleashing innovation, and strengthening partnerships that benefit American workers, businesses, and allies.

This presidency is about practical solutions, real outcomes, and American leadership that delivers prosperity, security, and strength at home and around the globe.



Have his advisors not warned him that "G20" means "Twenty countries", and that he controls only one of them? In fact more than twenty.

The web-site lists 19, not 20, State participants, 2 non-state participant blocs (the EU and the African Union) and 12 invitees. The last ranging from the Republic of Ireland to Vietnam. So I can't see how Mr. Trump imagines the USA - or him- can run twenty-six countries and two blocs (the EU includes nations also listed as individual invitees).

The sections show the USA - admittedly the host - seems to consider the event is for the benefit of the USA only; e.g. see "Working Groups", with a heading photograph of Donald Trump looking definitely very grim-faced. As is the slightly soft-focus bloke standing behind him - I don't know who he is.

The opening rubric I quoted above is reprised by other sections, and there is little real information beyond a list of meetings.

"Location" is a business-sales pitch for Florida, headed by another unflattering photo of the US President, alongside his welcome statement. You'd think he'd smile and look friendly for that; but he doesn't. He looks at best contemplative, at worst very tired. Not good for purpose.


The conference will also have "Sherpa Meetings". I don't know what that means. Apart from giving me a mischievous mental image of organising caddies for G20 delegates enjoying exclusive golf-courses.

@ArishMell Trying to make sense of Trump's claims? It doesn't really matter what the law says, or what he's supposed to be doing. He's going to do it, whatever goes through his mind. People woke up the morning after the East Room was demolished, to discover what he did.

A website at this time so early, makes me wonder if media coverage is going to happen at all. The G20 is not like it's apart of the federal government.
