The best reactions to Angela Merkel’s viral Trump G7 photo
It was a photo that rapidly spread around the world this weekend after Angela Merkel, the German chancellor–and the person who many now see the de facto leader of the free world–posted it on her Instagram feed.
In the photo several leaders of G7 countries, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and French President Emmanuel Macron can be seen standing around a seated Trump in an exasperated or confrontational manner, depending on how the image is interpreted.
Of course, the context of the conversation at the time the photo was taken can’t be known, but that hasn’t stopped legions of people on social media from trying to interpret the image.

The fact that Angela Merkel’s team shared this photo shows how much they despise Trump. pic.twitter.com/RIb7esIPWw

This looks like a history painting that took years to plan, compose, and complete. https://t.co/maCirTqZGj

The last point is the detail in Trump and Merkel’s eyes. She is obviously staring right at him. He is obviously ignoring here and staring into space. At first glance it *looks* like he’s looking at her but he’s not. This is genius artistic execution. Hang it in the Louvre. pic.twitter.com/OMlznodkqv

This dude right in the middle but slightly in the background? He represents our inability to take our eyes off this train wreck. The urge to know how it plays out. Our collective addiction to the news. pic.twitter.com/0xG5Jzsdyu
