Punchlines: Obama's G-20 summit trip didn't go off without a hitch

President Obama's last G-20 summit trip may have been productive, but diplomatic tensions during the multi-day event ran deep.

It started with a snub (which the president attempted to explain away as not exactly a snub) at the airport Saturday, when host nation China failed to provide stairs for Air Force One.  Obama was forced to exit the plane by a rear door, using Air Force One's metal staircase instead.  What would Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have done? The only appropriate reaction when one doesn't get the red carpet, the candidate said, is to pack up and leave. Find out why late-night comic Trevor Noah thinks Trump's response is a sign that the candidate not only has small hands but weak feet.

And what about that stare-down between Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin? James Corden gives the scoop in today's Punchlines, above.
