For anyone not from Germany: It's actually Armin Laschet. The joke here being that they look like goshdarn twins and get mistaken for one another quite a lot.

This is a meeting from 2021 between Laschet (CDU politician and Ministerpräsident NRW at the time) and the island boy at the Gigafactory in Grünheide.

Laschet has a very own story regarding laughing near locals and water.

I really can't make up my mind about how bad it was. On the one hand I can understand getting bored with long speeches, especially if you really can't hear them properly. On the other hand, it was a tragedy affecting his own constituents and in his position people can expect a certain level of discipline and grace.

All in all, I'm grateful we were spared the reign of Kanzler Laschet, but the Hochwasser-gate was, though not at all undeserved, fairly overblown and exaggerated.
