Oh, Canada! Little Marco gets a little welcome

Marco Rubio gets a tiny red carpet for his welcome to the G7.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/marco-rubio-humiliated-by-tiny-red-carpet-rolled-out-as-he-lands-in-canada-for-g7/ar-AA1AQThz?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=EDGEESS&cvid=49cef29a60fc429d9ef82c12c1eed191&ei=13

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to face a potentially hostile reception from his counterparts at the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting this week, and that may be evident by the tiny red carpet rolled out in his honor.

Rubio arrived at the G7 Summit in the picturesque Quebec town of La Malbaie on the St. Lawrence River, and the Canadians - now in a trade war with the U.S. thanks to Trump - rolled out a red carpet they thought would be perfect for one of Trump's team members.

The tiny carpet can be seen in photos greeting him as he descends the stairs of the airplane. A tweet featuring the photo surfaced, with a user captioning it: "I can't sleep either. I'm trying to find things to laugh at like this tiny red carpet they put out for Rubio when he arrived for the G7."

Bwahahaha.

Canada: Tell him you can find a shorter red carpet for his next visit And tell him 25 gazillion Americans have messaged you to remind him there is a 25th Amendment in the US Constitution written for madmen in the oval office.

aside and tell him we are not going to put up with this shit. The rest of the world knows trump is stupid and way over his head. And Musk should not be allowed anywhere near meetings with actual world leaders. He's a nobody and has no place there. Enough.
