German Chancellor Angela Merkel looks on as President Donald Trump accuses a German reporter of engaging in 'fake news.' (Screen cap)
As is his custom on Saturday mornings when he is vacationing at his Mar-a-Lago resort, President Donald Trump jumped on Twitter to complain about something -- this time taking shots at both the media and Germany.
Following a meeting and press conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel -- where Trump refused to shake hands with the German leader and she gave him a dismissive glance when he brought up surveillance of both of them -- Trump felt the need to set the record straight in typical Trump fashion on Twitter.
"Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel," Trump began in his first tweet before getting to his latest complaint.
"Nevertheless, Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!" he continued.
