This is uncomfortable to watch and embarrassing as well to see POTUS #45 ignoring the head of state of one of our closest allies.

He looks like a spoiled child who is pouting because Merkle didnt agree with everything he said.

Not even close to as bad a Diplomatic Faux Pas as when Pres. Obama failed to attend or even send a high ranking State Dept. Member to the French Unity meeting after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, and to top it off, Obama waited 2 weeks before sending over John Kerry and James Taylor to sing "You've Got A Friend". Nice try, though.
PS: Just how many handshakes are diplomatically required?

Wether this is right or wrong, why is Obama in this conversation? The Trump and Trump administration talked down on Obama, yet, they keep bringing his name up to justify some of the things they are doing. Two wrongs doesn't make it right. And don't get too caught up, this is politics.

watch the whole thing, notice anything when they part? all the libtards commenting on this without mentioning what was talked about, spoiler: President Trump and Chancellor Merkel shake hands and they leave together. Germany intends on remaining in the EU and said there is optimism on both sides this time around, they also look forward to seeing the POTUS at the G20 summit next year.

They also shaked hands prior to their news conference. I'm sure they are having coffee right now.

Which foreign leaders ass are you going to kiss next week do you really think I GAF about a country that is part of the EU and wouldn't pay it's fair share? It's a good thing Germany and the USA are on the same page but I get a kick out of these people talking about President Trump, they have no clue. Pukes.
