instead of respecting the German pronunciation, because fuck Germany.

I just wonder if he uses that shortened form. It sounds like something he'd do, especially to a woman. Anything to assert his self-styled dominance.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,752 posts)3. He probably tries to invade her personal space and loom over her
like he did to Hillary at the debates. She's not very tall, so he probably makes a point of using his size to try to intimidate her. But I doubt she's intimidated in the slightest, any more than Hillary was.

Frau Bundeskanzlerin - 'Madame Chancellor' in German.

I've noticed that he quite often uses the first names of other world leaders instead of addressing them by their titles. I always put this down to a lack of respect for them and their office.

And actually thats probably not far from his mentality and Metal ability.
