German Chancellor Angela Merkel had a few shaky moments Tuesday while standing with the new Ukrainian leader in the hot Berlin sun — and later blamed dehydration for her tremors.
Merkel’s entire body visibly shook and she pursed her lips with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at her side in the 82-degree heat while a military band played their national anthems.
But Merkel, who turns 65 next month, appeared better later as she walked along the red carpet with Zelenskiy.

It was simply the after effects of her April meeting with Obama. Who wouldn’t shudder.
On a positive note, newly elected Volodymyr Zelensky is in top form - and Ukraine has a long but hopeful road ahead with him at the helm. :)
Having seen heat stroke before in several folks, I’d say that she was about ten minutes away from irrational behavior or possible loss of consciousness. Age plays a key role....the older you are....the more susceptible you are.
fyi
Politicians are very seldom athletes. Staying hydrated is one of the most important thing is you can do your entire life. That’s why this presidential campaign is going to test Bernie, Biden and Trump and some of these women. Conditioning is everything. This political season is a marathon not a sprint. Donald give your so called friend Tom Brady a call he’s got it figured out. If there is such thing as global warming it just might get quite a few of these people. Ask Hillary 9/11 out for the count.

Hitler had tremors.
Demonic possession can render the host a quivering mess.
A fever - brought to Germany by illegal Muslims.
Thank goodness the USA does not have problems like that.
Oh, wait....
Respectfully, you are wrong.
That wasn’t heat stroke - I have had heat stroke on several occasions.
She wouldn’t have been able to stand in one spot and wouldn’t have been able to walk off like nothing was wrong if she did have it. She had something else quite serious going on but the media/her handlers will cover for her and lie for and about her.
See: Hillary Clinton being chucked into the van like a side of beef.
Hillary is a different case. I admit the summer heat of NYC and being overdressed...but she had shown various issues prior to the 9-11 episode.
If you go back to the video of Merkel...at the very beginning when she’s greeting the Ukrainian guy...she’s already got the look on her face. She looks irritable, and got dry skin (no sweat apparent). She’s very uncomfortable.
They then shift to the anthem-moment, and she appears to be fighting off a seizure moment. After all this ends....she disappears from public view for about 20 minutes. She probably got some medical attention, gulped down some liquids, etc. After this period, she appears and is perfectly fine, without the shakes or issues.
On Hillary, I think she’s got multiple issues, and that’s why just describing one episode to fit one single cause won’t work. I also think whatever medication she’s taking....is triggering other problems. Back in 2008, she had better health. 2016? No....she’s just not fit for the job.
She didn’t even stagger off. Heat stroke weakness will NOT disappear so someone can walk as if nothing is wrong. And ‘gulping down some liquids’ will NOT fix heat stroke. If anything, it will make you vomit and either way, you will not be able to stand or walk as if nothing were wrong.
Again, I have had heat stroke on several occasions and have been hospitalized. Mild or severe, you just cannot walk it off like she did after Germany’s national anthem was finished. No one will be ‘perfectly fine’ with heat stroke for quite some time as you are claiming she is. I appreciate your opinion but I come from personal experience. Merkel has something else quite severe going on.
82 IS not heat
“Germany’s Angela Merkel blames dehydration for scary moment in Berlin...”
Nadler, Clinton, Merkel...What’s with these filthy libs and not drinking enough water...dehydration always what they blame. Either they are too stupid to keep hydrated or else so depleted from booze.7
We can be thankful that so far, Hillary has not launched a presidential campaign for 2020 and probably won’t. I believe we are finally done with both frauen.
I believe one turns beat red when having a heat stroke and it is a very serious medical emergency and not one where you simply gather your wits and carry on.
“Hitler had tremors.”
Prob Parkinson’s.
