German Chancellor Angela Merkel Audibly Snorts As Trump Says 'I Have German In My Blood' At G7 Summit

German Chancellor Angela Merkel Audibly Snorts As Trump Says 'I Have German In My Blood' At G7 Summit
CNN



President Donald Trump made quite the splash at the G7 summit of world leaders, hosted in France. The splash was more from a belly flop than a swan dive.

One awkward moment came during a joint presser with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, upon whom Trump lavished praise.


After assuring that he would take Chancellor Merkel up on her invitation for a state visit to Germany, the President boasted that he had "German in his blood," to which Merkel audibly snorted.

Watch below.

Trump said:

"I'm very honored by the invitation. And it's true. And we will be there. And maybe soon. I have German in my blood."

People speculated on what spurred Merkel's laughter and other world leaders' reactions to Trump.





It wasn't long before #TrumpNotWelcome began trending in Germany.

Trump, however, does have German roots. His grandfather immigrated from Germany in the 19th century. In the past, he's inaccurately stated that his father was born in Germany.

It was far from the only awkward or disturbing moment during Trump's time at the G7.

An awkward attempt to kiss Merkel also made headlines.

He threw his support behind hosting the next G7 in Miami, at his own resort.


He blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia's illegal 2014 annexation of the Crimean peninsula.

Yikes.

Healthcare Workers Share The Common Medical Myths That Drive Them Crazy

It's safe to say the majority of people have a somewhat romanticized view of medicine, largely owing to soap operas or prime time medical dramas.

Nicki Minaj Awkwardly Calls JD Vance An 'Assassin' While Speaking To Erika Kirk—And Nicki's Reaction Is All Of Us

Rapper Nicki Minaj had quite the awkward moment at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend after she attempted to compliment Vice President JD Vance by calling him an "assassin" before realizing her error.

That's a significant blunder from the newly-minted MAGA performer, considering she said these words while talking to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, whose husband, far-right activist Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at a college event in September.
