Cheeto head was probably just confused that she wasn’t offering her pussy up for grabbin’.
Merkel: I think they want us to shake hands.
Trump: No, I think they want me to grab your pussy.
Merkel: What?! No, Scheiße Kopf, they want us to shake hands.
Trump: No… I’m pretty sure they want me to grab you by the pussy.
Germans are a very “courtly” (that may not be a word) people, and not to shake hands with another person upon meeting them, is tantamount to a slap in the face ((IMO).
Here we have a Chancellor and an ally of ours.
“A petulant five year old” ---- very fitting indeed.
I doubt that she could have shaken his hand without throwing up a little in her mouth, but she probably would have tried for diplomacy.
Compare this photo of her and Trump with this one of her and Obama.
That light in her eyes sure has faded right along with most Americans.
Quite the contrary; he or his advisors realized that his attempt to do engage in a grasping, jerking dominant would result in Merkel reflexively putting Trump into a ferocious armbar and demanding submission. Wisely, they avoided the conflict by refusing to engage.
Seriously, Merkel is a first-rate statesperson who can set aside her distate and revulsion to try to maintain a superficially cordial relationship with Vladimir Putin despite knowing exactly what kind of shitbag he is. She’s done her fair share and more to extend an olive branch to Trump, despite his unrepentant offensiveness, and to snub the German Chancellor–not only arguably the most powerful leader in Europe but leader of one of the three top most important allies in the world–is not only petty but terminally obtuse. If there were no other example to show exactly what kind of leader Trump is, this clearly demonstrates his deficiencies in the role.

Where is this not true? There may be some countries that have no tradition of shaking hands at all; but leaving such places aside, refusing to shake someone’s hand is pretty close to an open declaration of hostility anywhere.
I really don’t like fighting sports; boxing, MMA etc. But I’d pay to see this. I’d pay scalper prices. I’d pay almost anything.
Putin’s an asshole but there’s a rough and tumble aspect to his image that somehow makes him getting thrown in a judo match seem relatively dignified. Of course that kid died in an inexplicable polonium accident a week later.
But Trump of the overinflated eggshell ego getting forced into physical submission by a woman? Heh.
Trump looks like he’s rippin’ a squeaker, and she looks like she can smell it.
Even Putin knows that martial arts protocol demands that he take a fall in that situation. Unless she’s my school’s founder’s great-grandaughter, in which she can toss him around like a limp rag.
Now the secret about Trump and Merkel is out: she had had German agents infect him with Merkelism weeks before the meeting - look at his hands. (for comparison: the original). Trump’s precautions at the meeting were too late. I wonder if the White House photographer will capture the bellybursting scene for posterity?
Fuck, yeah! It’s just GD, with more blatant insults.
Real word, real attitude, and one completely missing here. I’ve mentioned before that I was taught comportment in the 4th grade. I would think D0nnie’s military middle school might’ve helped, but no.
