National embarrassment Trump refuses to shake Merkel's hand in photo op.

[SunSeeker]

Was he pissed that she wore a pantsuit? Guess she didn't get his "women must look like women" memo.

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. At least he didn't try to grab her pussy.

[elmac]

10. Well, we don't know that for sure

maybe he tried and she told him if he wants to keep that hand he better keep it under control.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. He wouldn't consider her a 10.

[Plucketeer]

14. She actually seems a bit wary

Maybe she still had Dubya's "massage" in her thoughts. That aside - Jesus Christ, what a fucking asshole that fat Chinchilla is! Even with the press pressing him for a handshake, he won't even look at her. Where THE FUCK are our representatives with regards to ousting this fat cat ass hat????????????????????????????????????? OH! That's RIGHT! They all drink at the same watering hole - and they all wanna refrain from upsetting their owners!

When these two stood up, Merkle should've brazenly grabbed Dumbshit's gonads and squeezed them as hard as she could! Or maybe she did that during their conferencing.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. She definitely looks uncomfortable with him.

Can't really blame her.

[Alice11111]

28. ...ooh, but the thought of touching them

Melania stay locked in the tower.

[Augiedog]

2. Maybe he is upset she wouldn't let him grab her by the pussy. Kick his pansy ass if he tried.

[Croney]

3. What an idiot.

Maybe he was afraid she was going to pull the shake-and-jerk on him to show him how stupid it is.

[BeyondGeography]

4. My not so unbiased take: She obviously ran circles around him

Pretty clear she was a lot more pleased with the way their discussion went than he was. He looked like a fucking hostage!

[Doodley]

9. I agree. She isn't the type to take his sh*t. She told him what she thinks.

[Plucketeer]

17. I agree!

Hey Orangey! This is was a REAL LEADER looks like.

[IronLionZion]

39. I hope she put him in his place

or told him to go F himself or something. He does look pissed. I love it!

[Cha]

40. lol.. hostage on his own petard.

[flor-de-jasmim]

5. A little, little man.

[Alice11111]

29. in a fat, huge, blubbery, blubbery body

with tiny hands. I wish Merkel hadn't gushed about the hospitality, but I guess that is all she could truthfully say. He can't really carry on a coherent conversation. He lies and doesn't know or care if he accidentally hits on the truth. So, well, there wss hospitality. What is she doing all weekend while he is on Mar o Lago? What an ass?

[smirkymonkey]

36. I kind of got the feeling she was being sarcastic.

But maybe she was speaking about the hospitality of everyone besides Trump.

[randr]

6. His body language indicates he is extremely uncomfortable with powerful women

His mother must have shamed him.

[lostnfound]

12. He looks like a petulant five year old as usual

[True Dough]

13. 45 could never play poker!

Oh, he's very experienced at being deceptive but his body language does betray his true feelings.

[smirkymonkey]

37. What amazes me is how little self-control he has.

Like, absolutely none. Someone at that level should be able to conceal their true feelings when in such situations, but he is absolutely unable to do so. Just another reason why he is completely unsuited to his position.

[Alice11111]

30. We know his father did.

He probably watched his father shame his mom too, and learned how to treat women. Hit back harder. As Melania said, 10x harder, if you challenge him.

Remember how Obama always had dinner with his family and family hour. Trump's wife and little boy don't even live with him. He has no idea what's going on in his son's head.

[egold2604]

7. At least he didn't give her a backrub

or grab her pussy

[enough]

8. What a clod.

He thinks any kind of graciousness or civility shows weakness. All it does is show how weak he feels.

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. Look at the way that horrible piece of shit treats this woman, and make no mistake

that is what it is about.

[Alice11111]

31. Said the same above.

Clearly, women are for sex objects. Merkel doesn't play that role. She is functioning on a diplomatic and intellectual level. Not in his realm. He knows she is way smarter and more experienced. She was a physicist. She speaks English far better than he does. Maybe he's too stupid and narcissistic to know. On some level, I think he gets it at a gut level, so he's acting like a scared, disrespectful asshole. Maybe Putin sent him a message. Putin hates her almost as much as Hillary. She is standing between him and breaking up the EU, and DT is one of his willing tools to do that. To that end, Angela has a lot at stake, so she compliments the hospitality.

[smirkymonkey]

38. All it tells me is that he is a weak, insecure, pathetic man.

If he only knew how foolish it made him look. Rude yes, but foolish.

[Doodley]

16. This might have been the worst personal moment of his presidency. Finally, somebody

telling him where he is wrong.

[Alice11111]

32. The Irish leader too...what a bitchslap

[world wide wally]

19. I'm on her side

[IronLionZion]

20. Merkel is the leader of the free world

ever since Obama left office.

[Alice11111]

33. No question. Unfortunately, the RW world is gearing up to

take her down. I was talking to a German citizen yesterday. She said she is my hero. She committed political suicide, but it was the right thing to do.

Breitbart and other RW news sites have set up all over Germany. They have EU RWs from all over coming in, plus the German RW. Russian news is already running stories.

I wish there were some way we could help her.
Maybe the populace will learn from our debacle. Seemed to help in Holland. They labeled the RW candidate Trump.

[turbinetree]

21. He really is a complete and utter assh***

and he practices being a complete and utter lying assh***, with goofy sexual predator grin of his.

[FailureToCommunicate]

22. "Handshake?" "Shake hands?" (uncomfortable stare from Trump) What a dolt!

[Lanius]

23. A photo of the leader of the "free world" and an Orange Turd.

It makes me a little sad to acknowledge that, under Drumpf, America is no longer the leader of the free world. But Drumpf thought he would blow into office and dominate everyone. Now, he's coming to the realization that everybody but his employees and deplorable supporters hates him.

[Alice11111]

34. I don't think he has that much insight. He's definitely in

Fight mode though. That's when he makes his biggest mistskes. He reststed to Merkel that Obama wiretapped him today, after all of the shit he's gotten all week.

[2naSalit]

24. He looks really pissed off

like she probably told him off like a mother scolding a petulant brat. He can't handle being told anything, much
less by a woman. She looks like she is satisfied at having out him in his place. He looks totally pissed off.

[George II]

25. Look at that moron, "manspreading". He ALWAYS does that.

[SunSeeker]

27. Yup, even though there is nothing to spread for.

[Alice11111]

35. Oh god, that makes me sick. I didn't have a word for it.

Manspreading. I've experienced it though. Disgusting. That's exactly what he did.

[George II]

41. I had to put up with that crap for 7 years taking the subway to HS and college.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. OMG this is embarrassing

WTF? He didn't even look at her or acknowledge her. Like others in this thread, I believe he fears her, as he resents and fears all powerful, intelligent women. AND she's wearing a pantsuit, just like the hated Hillary.

[George II]

42. I don't think he ever looked at her even once.
