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 shed rather be eating glass. 1/3

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.

(11,575 posts)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. Pauls, 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.
