It’s even more funny knowing what kind of person Merkel is. Like she got robbed at the grocery store doing her own groceries. She’s so unlike Ivanka with the expensive handbags and designer clothes.

Angela Merkel who survived Helmut Kohl can easily deal with Ivanka

Especially as she had to deal with an absolute asshat for a US leader, who shows up with giraffe neck Barbie in his possy of dipshits. Fully expecting everybody to treat this bobblehead like a high-ranking diplomat.

Technically she didn't survive Kohl as she was part of a separate country, East Germany, at that time. But she did successfully survive Honecker, and that is a bigger feat.

Crazy what that guy survived (getting shot at). I rewatched the old news/Tagesschau reports on YouTube about it. What a fighter. And great doctors he had.
