All the women are looking at him like "Yeah, we know all about you, Donald".

"The hills are alive ... with the sound of music!"

In speaking of President Obama,
"For me, the future with the president is much more important than the past right now," Mrs Merkel declared in April 2016, according to CNN.
Mr Obama said: "This is as important a relationship as I've had during the course of my presidency. Chancellor Merkel has been consistent. She has been steady. She is trustworthy. She has a really good sense of humour that she doesn't show all the time at press conferences."

He is a disgusting excuse of a human being. He has no business being in the same room with those people.
I hate him more every single day.
