Trump 'threw' Starburst on table during G7 talks, told Merkel 'don't say I never give you anything'

The recent G-7 Summit has been largely described a contentious event, and, according to CBS News senior global affairs contributor Ian Bremmer, it included a moment in which President Trump reportedly “threw” Starburst on the table.

Bremmer told CBS News on Wednesday that during a discussion about the joint G-7 statement, the U.S. president “stood up, he 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.’”

Days later, Trump took another swipe at the German Chancellor, tweeting, “The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition.”

I hope this is true. Epic trolling from the boss.

The “Don’t say I never gave you anything” was used regularly by my mother on us kids, and I’ve been known to use it occasionally myself. Like when I’m leaving Walmart, and the greeter is there, I’ll turn over the grocery cart to him/her, and say, “Here...don’t say I never gave you anything.” I’m about a year younger than the President, so it might be a generational thing.

Trump has been messing with people for a long time. He knows if he throws something like that out, they’re gonna be wondering what he actually really meant. When he’s just messing with them the whole entire time. Love it

He’s in real estate so he knows what it’s like to live rent free inside somebody else’s head.

So if it’s true this story demonstrates that President Trump was unimpressed.

Our President is a New Yorker. He can be NY abrasive, blunt, but I don’t believe for one moment this story at all.

I think it’s fake news until otherwise proven.

Swipe? It was funny. Trump is always charming and amusing, and his haters are always extremely up-tight and anal retentive, taking everything he says literally and in the worst possible light (making themselves look like boring fools in the process).
