No matter how hard we want it to,Watch Unique Lady 2 Online 2016's election never seems to fully go away.
For many women who chose to watch President Trump's joint press conference with Angela Merkel on Friday, the experience hit far too close to home. Not only did Trump's body language mirror his movements on the debate stage with Hillary Clinton (when will thatmemory go away?) it reminded them of their own personal interactions with powerful men who seemed to resent their presence.

Watch this very brief clip instead, where Chancellor Merkel asks Trump for a handshake, only to have it be rejected. It's not just that Trump refuses to shake her hand. He doesn't even look her in the eye.

Merkel (to Trump): Do you want to have a handshake?
Trump: *no response*
Merkel: *makes awkward face* pic.twitter.com/ehgpCnWPg7
Prominent feminists, comedians and women on Twitter struggled to watch this insulting viral moment. It wasn't easy watching one of the most powerful women in the world -- and a prominent American ally -- get ignored, regardless of you think of his actual handshakes.
I think a lot of women will find Trump refusing to even look at Merkel during that presser pretty familiar

There have been so many times I've been introduced to men who won't look me in the eye, or talk as if I'm not there.

Trump probably didn't count on the presidency forcing him to spend time with so many women over the age of 35.

Trump's body language n scowl while #Merkel speaks. Rarely even looks her in eyes. His disrespect for women is clear.

Unless shes a 10.
Ass
Of course Trump wouldn't shake hands with Merkel. He's afraid if he makes contact with an intelligent women he might catch human decency.

Trump's refusal to look Angela Merkel in the eye or to shake her hand belies his abject disrespect for all women. Today we are all Angela. pic.twitter.com/0vlXIBuSFP

It's clear that women have been in this position before: sitting or standing there awkwardly, while powerful men refuse to acknowledge their presence.
Remember this sad viral moment?
Election 2016 has *officially* ended, but its awkward body language lives on.
