    Honestly I almost wish the president had just asked his initial question and then waited for the ambassador's answer. The ambassador seemed completely unprepared for that response, I feel like he would have exposed himself if put on the spot. But I'm all for the bullying, too.

      Yea they don't deserve a rebuttal

      The appropriate response should be to completely ignore what they said and change the topic

      When the euros send their ambassadors, they aren't sending their best. Everyone reading this is already aware, but: these people are not hired for their brains. They're hired for their ability to jump when the bourgeoisie says: "jump!" The German ambassador would not be able to think up a good answer to these questions (not only because he's a dingdong, but because a good answer doesn't exist).
