Twitter Is SHREDDING Trump For Refusing To Shake Angela Merkel’s Hand
One of the simplest acts of diplomacy for any President is to sit with the leader of a friendly nation and make nice in front of the cameras for a couple of minutes. At least, it used to be simple. Donald Trump took the opportunity to spark international outrage by refusing to shake hands with the leader of our most powerful ally in Europe.
As usual, Twitter was watching and delivered the perfect responses to the insult:
You can't blame Trump for not shaking hands with Angela Merkel. He's terrified of germs. Oh… and women who are smarter than him #handshake

In summary, reporters ask Merkel important questions about trade and ask Trump if he regrets his ridiculous tweets. Yup, everything is fine.

If Trump is hell-bent on alienating our allies and taking our country down, at least Twitter will ensure we go down laughing.
