Home run turns out to be a strikeout

So FvC calls his foreign trip "a home run." Right.

And Angela Merkel says, "The times when we could completely rely on others are, to an extent, over..." in response to FvC's trip. Good job, FvC!

Guess that home run turned out to be a strikeout. David Frum tweeted, "Worth recalling that supreme goal of first Soviet then Russian foreign policy in Europe since 1945: crack the US-German relationship".

I really enjoyed the little gaffes that plagued the road trip:

Melania's swatting FvC's hand away on a tarmac. FvC riding a golf cart while the rest of the leaders at the G7 walked. FvC's senior moment while with Netanyahu. Not naming the male partner of one of the leaders when listing the names of the leaders' significant others picture (It was called an "oversight"). FvC's shoving aside the Prime Minister of Montenegro so FvC could get in front of everybody. The zero press conferences during the entire trip.

Bottom line: FvC is a boor to the max.
