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.’â€

Hilarious. First president since Reagan to have a sense of humor.

LOL. If this is true it's awesome.

Oh, how I want this to be true! :laugh:

Maybe it happened. Maybe not. I'm only guessing where Bremmer's political loyalties lie, based on this snippet from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Bremmer): In 2007, he was named as a 'Young Global Leader' of the World Economic Forum, and in 2010, founded and was appointed Chair of the Forum's Global Agenda Council for Geopolitical Risk.

It wouldn't be the first time the media tried to use Trump's obvious tendency to kid into an opportunity to make him look ridiculous.

If a person has these Starburst candies in his/her pocket/purse, the reason could be a shot of sugar for people with diabetes. I looked them up - four fruit flavors. I've never had one, so will get some to try for information about them - that's the ticket, have a reason to buy a fruit flavored sugar shot. :silly:

I take it Trump didn't give her a massage, like W did.

Who cares as long as he cleaned the lint off.

Not cool.

Are you kidding? His pockets are lined in gold. She could have taken them for reclamation processing and paid down the country's debt.

Yeah, but they'd still be all warm and melty, right?

Exactly. The faux pas wasn't in tossing them on the table - it was in tossing them all warm and melty.
