President Trump reportedly tossed Starburst candies to German Chancellor Angela Merkel during his tense meeting with Group of Seven (G-7) leaders weeks ago, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer said Wednesday.

While appearing on CBS News, Bremmer painted a grim picture of Trump and Merkel's relationship amid heighted conflict between the president and other G-7 members over his steep steel and aluminum tariffs and suggestion that Russia be reinstated into the group.

Bremmer went on to describe a bizarre incident towards the end of the summit when Merkel and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined some of other the allies "to press Trump directly to sign the [group] communique, that talked about the commitment to a rules-based international order."

"Trump was sitting there with his arms crossed, clearly not liking the fact that they were ganging up on him," Bremmer said to news outlet. "He eventually agreed and said OK he'll sign it. And at that point, he stood up, put his hand in his pocket, his suit jacket pocket, and he took two Starburst candies out, threw them on the table and said to Merkel, 'Here, Angela. Don't say I never give you anything.'" MORE...

1. I may have said an off color word on DU occasionally, but in general I don't, out of respect. But...

This guy is an A1 plutonium grade asshole!

Who does this crap anywhere???

2. Christ on a trailer hitch; DTs is a 4-year old playing with a flame-thrower

When you think it can't possibly get any more sick and twisted...

3. I hope she replied by giving him the finger, I really hope so!

I know I would have!

[Perseus]

7. Actually, people like the man-child expect a reaction

and Markel has class, so she most probably ignored him, which for a narcissist is the worst response.

What a pile of sh^&* this guy is...

No matter how much money the monkey may have, he is still a monkey...you can't teach class to a low human being, its as hard as teaching a donkey how to talk, although in the man-child's case, the donkey may do better.

8. Were these from the "special" jar of Starbursts from toady Kevin McCarthy? Remember when

Kevin had his taxpayer funded staff members pick through a pile of Starbursts in order to present Dear Leader with only his fave flavors, cherry and strawberry? (McCarthy, the mindless sycophant, is too dumb to know you can buy Starbursts already sorted at Target!)

11. Be proud America... This is YOUR goddamned president...

14. How childish.

The whole trade problem is really about our country's unwillingness to educate, train and support our citizens so that we can produce products the rest of the world really wants.

It's thoroughly ridiculous to be angry at the rest of the world when the fault lies with us.

15. You know what Trump and Roseanne both have in common? They prove money can't buy class.
