‘Unsophisticated and self-absorbed’: German press round on Trump after handshake refusal

Donald Trump is ‘an unsophisticated yet self-absorbed political neophyte’, according to sections of the German press – in comparison to ‘experienced’ Angela Merkel.

The two ‘could hardly be more contradictory’, according to reports of their ‘awkward’ meeting yesterday.

The US President refused to shake the German Chancellor’s hand, a moment which German newspapers have seized on to highlight the huge differences between the two.

Tabloid Bild carried a picture of the world leaders sitting awkwardly next to each other, while also pointing out how ‘unusual’ it was that Merkel found herself seated next to Trump’s daughter Ivanka – who has no official role in the administration.
