It was not only Merkel, he did same to Irish PM today.

Donald Trump took the podium and not only mispronounced Fionnuala Kenny, the wife of Prime Minister Enda Kenney, he took his moment to read what he described as an old “Irish proverb”:
It was a short poem. by Nigerian poet Albashir Adam Alhassan.

The Irish Times describer their meeting in the Oval Office:

In the midst the madness sat a silent Donald Trump and a fairly silent Enda, who was desperately trying to make small talk. But Trump just sat there like a sulky child, leaning forward in his seat, hands steepled between his knees, looking into the distance. He seemed bored.

9. lol

we are "black Irish"
If you looked at my dad and his brothers they looked almost Italian.
Black hair, not real tall, but bright blue eyes.
None of them (11) has a mustache or beard.

10. Trump has not yet recovered from Justin Trudeau's evasion of the trademark "Trump" handshake.

Seriously, I think that really upset Trump.

What next, some other world leader bruises his delicate little fingers?

Honest to God, I would recoil from Trump's offering his hand for fear I'd break it.

But not likely, it would have to be a Hitler signs Indiana Jone's dad's diary moment.
