I wonder what so-called psychologists etc. would make of this body language as well as wondering if Merkel might face criticism in her own country for not leaving the meeting pronto.
Well POTUS can pretty much do what he wants and Merkel will just take it. After all, she did nothing when Obama was caught wiretapping her phones which is a much worse insult IMHO.

Personally I doubt Trump intentionally snubbed Merkel. It is more likely he just did not hear her.
