I've seen that smile before



Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro 18h
Seriously, the contrast could not be greater. Who even knew Angela Merkel could smile? Nice to see her standing next to a US President not looking like she’d rather be eating glass. 1/3

Who is generally pleasant and thoughtful. Pushed far enough though, she could also chop off an appendage and toss it into the soup in one swift move that doesn't even interrupt her stride. That pic with DJT shows she's pretty close.

Obama was a good human being.

Children can tell and the MANY beautiful pictures of Obama and kids are a testament to what kind of person he is.

Clearly Merkel is perspicacious. Her reaction to Trump, Ivanka, and even to Bush shows she knows genuine, loving, kind people when she sees them.

She looks so happy and relieved. I love that she is so genuine, she can't fake her emotions even for the camera.

Look at the demeanour the previous guy was projecting. Arms folded, defensive and slightly hostile. I'm sure he hated her as soon as he heard of her educational background. Despite his posturing, boasting and lying, he MUST know that he's not her intellectual equal. Not by a long shot.

Hamberders and covfefe. That's what he brings to the table.

But Merkel had been spotted at J. Paul’s, a bar-restaurant in Georgetown on Thursday evening with her security detail, posing for selfies with other diners, while Trump was at the White House.

"Not the White House: Angela Merkel posed for selfies with regular diners at J. Paul’s In Georgetown, where the 1/2lb special cheeseburger comes in at $14.95"

People got selfies with Chancellor Merkle at a DC restaurant. iMages & more at source
