Merkel: I mistook Trump for someone 'completely normal'
The Guardian
|November 22, 2024
Angela Merkel's first mistake with Donald Trump, she says in her keenly awaited new memoir, was treating him as if he were "completely normal", but she quickly learned of his "emotional" nature and soft spot for authoritarians and tyrants.
In extracts from her more than 700-page tome Freedom published in Die Zeit, the former German chancellor says she initially misread Trump during their first meeting in 2017 in the Oval Office, where he attempted to humiliate her by refusing to shake her hand before the cameras.
