While other leader listened to the Italian PM with translation earphones, Trump nodded seriously as if he was listening - but had no earphones,

"Where are his headphones? How can he be listening to this without a translation in his ear?

Is Donald Trump actually a fluent Italian speaker? We doubt it.

A BBC News reporter shared the video on Twitter, saying: "A short clip that sums up this G7 summit: look who has chosen not to hear a translation of his Italian host's speech #G6"

BUT but but, he uses his hands just like most Italians when they get excited about what they are talking about. LOL.. Yep his tiny hands sure do get active

Several possabilities here:

1) A translation of the prepared speech could already have been read by Trump, and Trump knew what he was saying.

2) The speech could have been uninteresting to Trump.

3) Trump has a minor in anthropology, and may have some understanding of Latin. Italian wouldn't be very hard to learn hear if he has a grasp of Latin. Speaking Italian fluently is likely a greater endeavor.

Did anyone ask Trump if he understood Italian?

To give him some credit, maybe he was just reading the document in front of him and ignoring the speaker.

Did you forget that President Trump is an international businessman and very likely may understand Italian which has some similarities to Spanish? One doesn't need to speak a language to understand it and the First Lady is fluent in 5 languages.

Seriously, yet another desperate day for the anti-Trumps that they can only deliver something this lame!

The "Mirror Online", seriously!

And, "speaking" is not the same as "listening" and understanding what is being said.

That's what Chris Hayes said. I doubt it.

This happened before with Abe in the WH. Does he speak Japanese too?

Did anyone ask if headphones over his coif are painful?

President Trump always wears the earpiece in his right ear - this is not the first time that the Leftist Media had a Total Hysterical Meltdown and reported #FAKE-NEWS in their never ending war on the President of the United States and every single American Citizen that elected him.

It's no mystery that 65% of Americans don't Trust the Leftist Media.
