German audience laughs and cheers after Trump Cabinet member's video address cut off

[kpete]

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’s video address to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s political party’s business conference in Berlin was cut off on Tuesday after Ross went over his time limit, prompting conference attendees to laugh and cheer.

Ross’s video feed at the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) conference was faded out after roughly 20 minutes for going over his time limit, according to Bloomberg.

Attendees then began to applaud and laugh at the move.

“That was the U.S. secretary of commerce, who had promised us a 10-minute statement,” the head of CDU Economic Council Werner Bahlsen said.

“As you saw, he spoke a bit slowly, so it took a bit longer. Now we look forward to the chancellor’s speech,” he continued.

1. LOL! "American exceptionalism" is slowly eroding thanks to Trump.

That's actually one of the few areas where I applaud Trump, not that he's doing it intentionally!

Save yourselves, other countries, and maybe one day you can help save Americans stuck in this nightmare as well.

2. Oh America is certainly exceptional now

just not in a good way.

3. Even the German conservatives (CDU) can't deal with Trump et al n/t
