Trump has touched down in Germany

Leaving the relatively safe haven of Poland behind, Trump has arrived in Hamburg, where he gets no prearranged greeting by crowds of hand-selected supporters. What gaffes will he make today and tomorrow? Who can say? We'll all be watching though.

She wasn't there to greet him as he very carefully descended the stairs from AF1.

I'm sure she'll greet him warmly later, though...at full arm's length no doubt, to prevent any "grabbing." I hope he recognizes her face and doesn't shove her aside to get in front of the cameras. He's a bit forgetful, I understand.

They have to keep their emotions under control and cannot show their utter disrespect for the man, after all.
