Twitter mocks Trump after he rode a golf cart while other G7 leaders walked through Sicily
'What happened to all that stamina?' one wag wrote.
President Donald Trump chose to ride in a golf cart while the other G7 leaders walked the streets of Taormina, Sicily. The Times reported on Saturday, 27 May that six world leaders from the UK, Germany, France, Canada, Italy and Japan walked 700 yards to a piazza in the hilltop town to take a group photo at a Greek amphitheatre.
Trump, however, reportedly decided to stay behind and wait for an electric vehicle.
The US president was apparently the last to arrive for the photo as his foreign counterparts waited at the amphitheatre. Taormina mayor Eligio Giardina told the Times that Trump eventually joined the other leaders on foot for the final walk to the G7 summit venue.
"Locals lined the streets to cheer them all, including Mr Trump," Giardina said.
Social media users wasted no time in mocking the incident. Some critics pointed to some of his earlier repeated criticisms aimed at Hillary Clinton during the election season that she "doesn't have the stamina" to be president.
"She doesn't have the look. She doesn't have the stamina," he said during the first presidential debate in September last year. "I said she doesn't have the stamina, and I don't believe she does have the stamina."
In a television ad in October, the Trump campaign targeted her health saying the former secretary of state lacked the stamina and strength needed to lead the country.
Many Twitter users also compared Trump's stamina to that of his predecessors Barack Obama and George W. Bush as well as other foreign leaders.
"Trump's so-called stamina must've run out," one Twitter user wrote. Another tweeted: "The healthiest president in America's history is unable to walk 700 yards... sad!"
"It's hilariously sad the image #Trump is portraying during this trip," one user wrote. "Yet, his supporters think he's showing strength? How? A golf cart?"
The 6 sane G7 leaders.

Trump using a golf cart instead of walking is proof that he shouldn't have stopped exercising since high school 😂

@mmpadellan @deathbytang Was it a *Trump Resort* golf cart? Likely a product placement opportunity set up by his in-house ad firm "Emoluments Я Us."

If Macron and Trudeau were truly petty, they'd have done literal laps around Trump's golf cart

Bush is the same age as Trump. There's no way he'd be in a golf cart instead of walking w/G7 pic.twitter.com/oth2CbJZPw

@Amy_Siskind @FrauDoktor11 Trump called @JebBush "low energy", but I bet Jeb would not have needed to ride in the golf cart. Hillary either. Obama would've sprinted.

@Amy_Siskind 45 did this on purpose to distance himself. Showboating for Putin. He will say no on climate change, because he can't line his pockets

Once upon a bicycle, so they say, a jolly postman came one day from over the hills and far away. Trump followed in a golf cart.

Great idea. "Five little puppies dug a hole under the fence and went for a walk in the wide, wide world." Trump followed in a golf cart. https://t.co/U5EXPktgmH
