Donald Trump rejects Angela Merkel's handshake, Twitter goes crazy
President of the United Sates of America, Donald Trump, during a joint news conference publicly rejected German Chancellor Angela Merkel's gesture of a handshake.
The joint news conference was held at the White House on 17 March. Not only did Trump refused a handshake, but also publicly disagreed on major issues. As soon as the incident happened, a short video of the awkward silence between the two great leaders made its way to the internet.
While people were still thinking about the incident and contemplating POTUS' weird body language and expression Twitter went into a meltdown.
That's how #DonaldTrump Make #America Great Again, but some people don’t seem to think so Mr #President ;)

Trump was worried a strong German woman like Angela Merkel might crush his tiny hands. #handshake

Watching trump ignore Angela Merkel's handshake offer gives me that sick mixed feeling of embarrassment and dread in my stomach.

Can you believe that Angela Merkel, the great leader of the free world, was denied a handshake by the crude so-called American president?

America is a disgrace. Donald Trump can't even give Angela Merkel a handshake during their first meeting because he's too much of a baby.
