The picture went viral, but appeared to draw more chatter about looking like a scene from “The Sound of Music” than about actual relations between the two friends.

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.
