The internet thinks Ivanka Trump was staring at Angela Merkel during trade war speech
During a speech at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, German Chancellor Angela Merkel went after the Trump administration for wanting to label BMWs as national security threats in order to impose tariffs.
“We’re proud of our cars,” Merkel said (via a translator). “They are built in the United States of America. South Carolina … [is] actually the largest BMW plant. Not in Bavaria.”
Ivanka Trump was there as a representative for the U.S. and did not join those around her as Merkel’s comments began to draw applause. She instead stared intently in the general direction of Merkel while not showing much expression at all.
“So, when these cars … are supposed to be a threat to the national security of America, it’s a bit of a shock to us,” Merkel said, followed by a long ovation.
Viewers on Twitter have taken notice of the moment, with some loving the way Ivanka Trump handled the situation and others questioning the validity of the story to begin with.
Good for Ivanka!

Others wondered why she was even there, and some speculated as to why she wasn’t wearing the headphones on her head.
Wait why were you there and what do you do again?

I love how @IvankaTrump didn’t want to mess up her hair with the headphones lol.

Even with the headphones providing an English translation, there’s no way Princess understands any of this.

Ivanka can’t be bothered to clap when she’s too busy giving her best ‘Blue Steel’.

Some viewers even thought that a few people in the audience were pointing at her and laughing at her during the applause.
The best part is all the people around her pointedly looking @IvankaTrump and laughing at her as they applaud Angela Merkle.

Check out what viewers had to say about a Valentine’s Day on-air wedding ceremony on Fox News:
\n\nThere's literally a wedding happening live on @foxandfriends and I've never been this uncomfortable
\n— Josh Delk (@JTDelk) February 14, 2019
\n\n@foxandfriends That was the worst wedding I have ever seen. ?The dress was toooo long and too big , her veil fell off, the music was not reverent and the minister ... Really? I guess you get what you pay for. I’d be in the back wailing .

\n\nOnly Fox & Friends can make a cheap wedding seem even cheaper.

\n\n@foxandfriends what a tacky wedding this was. You'll could have at least rented a church!

\n\nBut there were others who saw the love in it all and enjoyed the ceremony, especially the fact that Pazmino’s children were involved.\n@foxandfriends ?that wedding was painful to watch. Why in the world couldn’t someone help those poor people look a little more put together on their wedding day ???

\n— Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) February 14, 2019
\n\nSo whether or not people enjoyed the event, not many couples out there will be able to tell the tale of their Valentine's Day wedding on Fox News.\n\n“On behalf of Fox & Friends, and me and the entire viewing audience,” Shelley concluded. “I pronounce you well on your way to a long happy marriage.”\n\nWatch Jennifer Lopez tell Ellen about the reality TV star that she fangirls over:\n\n\n@foxandfriends @ainsleyearhardt looks like a Valentine today and certainly dressed for a Special Wedding. Kudos for sharing the wedding of two Patriots!
