Angela Merkel Drinking Beer After Shading Trump Is The Most German Thing Ever

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

German Chancellor Angela Merkel spent Friday and Saturday at the G7 in Italy, battling President Trump on issues of climate change, trade, and refugees.

Then she came home and told everyone on Sunday that Germany could basically no longer fully rely on Trump's America and post-Brexit UK.

Then she had a beer.

Like a boss!

I like a leader who can drink a real beer, and full liter of it!

Seems like he was totally against the killing of animals for food, although killing people was a different matter.

It seems like Donald Trump is a tea-totaler because he had a brother who became an alcoholic and drank himself to death, because he couldn't take his father's constant criticism and judgmentalness - he was too sensitive, too much of a wimp, not a "winner", or whatever. Before the election, there were some good programs on TV presenting biographies of both major candidates.

Or shall we say, JUST a Mass. (Ein Mass = one litre of beer)

You order "ein kleine Bier und ein grosse Bier." By the time your Mass is poured and ready to serve, you'll have finished the little beer.

I am a teetotaler, just like other famous teetotaling Nazis such as Joe Biden, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, Frank Zappa, Warren Buffett, Isaac Asimov, Alec Baldwin, Eric Clapton, Sarah Silverman, Bruce Lee, Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Page and Trump's good friend, Frederick Douglass.

I couldn't care less what anyone else drinks, but this seems like a weird standard by which to determine who are the good guys and who are not.
