S2 [14] THE MARVELOUS MRS. MERKEL

Jenks saw Angela Merkel on TV at George H. W. Bush's funeral. Then, he remembered that Donald Trump wouldn't shake her hand when the two first met. What could be learned from Merkel’s relationships with Presidents Clinton, W. Bush, and Obama? As it turned out, a specific, largely unknown meeting Merkel had in the Oval Office, before she became the leader of Germany, held the answer to what really happened. Guests: Dr. Jonathan Olsen (Department Chair and Professor of Government at Texas Woman’s University), Dr. Joyce Mushaben (Professor of Global Studies and Curators' Professor of Comparative Politics & Gender Policies at University Missouri-St. Louis), and Dr. Manfred Konukiewitz (former official under Chancellor Angela Merkel)
