While President Trump has left behind Canada and last week's G-7 summit for the much-anticipated one-on-one discussion with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the world is still reeling from the president's haphazard decisions.

Trump called Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada and one of our closest allies, "weak" and "dishonest" and manage to alienate the U.S. from all other G-7 nations. 

But Canada gave Trump a dose of his own medicine, according to late-night comic Bill Maher — they separated him from his daughter at the border. And what's the one thing that caught Trump's attention during the summit? He finally found out what the "G" in G-7 stands for.
