President Trump arrived late to a meeting on gender equality on Saturday morning at the G7 summit in Quebec, Canada.
According to pool reports, Trump arrived 17 minutes late to the breakfast meeting.
The meeting had been scheduled to begin at 8 a.m., but due to the late arrivals Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn't begin speaking until 8.14 a.m. "Any stragglers will come in as they arrive," he said.
Trump completely missed Trudeau's remarks, only arriving as Isabelle Hudon, the Canadian ambassador to France, began speaking.
According to the Toronto Star, his arrival caused quite a commotion due to security workers having to clear a path through a crowd of journalists, many with large camera equipment.
The clicks of the journalists' cameras as Trump arrived late "almost drowned out Hudon’s remarks," the Star wrote.
The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for information on Saturday about the cause of the president's tardiness.
Still, the visual symbolism was...not good.

Trump also looked a little rumpled. Not a class act for the leader of the Free World.
