Argentine Pres. Macri with Trump, for group G20 photo. Few seconds later he was dissed by Trump by simply walking off on him, making him a laughing stock. Serves him well. And typical clueless self-absorbed Trump, of course.
From our Spanish TGP series:
Atilio Boron, a leading left political activist and well known sociologist in Argentina and Latin America is interviewed by Jorge Geloso about Argentina's impending economic and political crisis accelerated by the election of Washington's new Trojan horse in the Southern Cone, Mauricio Macri, a tool of internaitonal capital and point man for the Argentinian comprador elites.

Appendix
Trump walks off leaving Mauricio Macri standing alone at G20
The Argentinian president was left alone on stage when his US counterpart, Donald Trump, walked away due to a misunderstanding during a photo opportunity. Both leaders shook hands before Trump left the stage, with Macri appearing to call after him. It appeared the Argentinian wanted Trump to remain on the stage as they awaited other world leaders for an official members’ ‘family photograph’.
