They seem to be very familiar with the Liar-in-Chief.
In any case, he made no attempt to shake Merkel's hand again. The short scene was immediately spread in the social networks. And the White House waiting journalists joked that Trump had finally read his memo, where it was likely that the Chancellor was not a fan of too much body contact.
She must of read her memo, where she was reminded to avoid hand contact if he went to the little boy's room.
