Trump Gave Angela Merkel a Big, Wet Smooch and Twitter Is Seriously Grossed Out

Recently released photos show the awkward moment Donald Trump puckers up before kissing German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The pair, who have had a frosty relationship in the past, appeared to be on friendlier terms when they met at the G7 summit in Biarritz, France, yesterday.

They were part of a line up of world leaders that included Boris Johnson and Canada’s Justin Trudeau, all posing on stage for the traditional “family photo”.

But as various leaders were greeting each other, cameras snapped Trump leaning in for a peck with the German chancellor.

While Trump closes both his eyes, Merkel keeps hers wide open, albeit with a smirk. We can only imagine what she was thinking.

Merkel was the only woman among the seven world leaders gathered at the summit. Last year’s G7 summit also included United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May. But May was forced to step down over her handling of the U.K.’s upcoming “Brexit” withdrawal from the European Union. She was replaced by new U.K. Conservative party leader Boris Johnson, a close confidant of Trump.

Trump kissing Merkel wasn’t the only Trump kiss that got some attention over the weekend.

On Sunday night, photos were released of Melania Trump kissing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and by the looks of it, Melania is really enjoying herself.

Take a look:

Looks like Melania would rather go home with Trudeau, doesn’t it??

Seems Twitter agrees:
