So Trump tried to bully Pres. Merkel?

During a phone call between the 2 presidents, Trump call her “stupid” and “she was in the pockets of the Russians”. According to CNN and news outlets.

Man, this man has no call to call someone else stupid, let alone a Ally’s President! That mirror must make him look stupidly smart?

It's Frank Walter Steinmeier.

When you reference a converstation between "the two presidents," it is confusing.

Boorish, violent, misogynistic-- I still can't believe he's still in the White House. I can't believe anyone would ever have voted for him. I can't believe people I love voted for him and will vote for him again.

They'll say, "Anonymous sources! Maybe he never said that! And maybe Merkel is stupid!"

Everyone's wrong but him always. To believe him, you have to think everyone else in the world is wrong and bad. And his voters will say that.

She grew up in the former East Germany.

I seriously doubt she would ever want anything to do with Russia.

Trump is insanely stupid. Totally ignorant about even recent history

Shames our country

I'm sure Merkel is smart enough to figure that out about 2 minutes into the conversation.
