    Default Merkel seen shaking in public for third time in a month

    German chancellor Angela Merkel was seen physically shaking during a public event Wednesday, the third such incident within the space of a month, fueling ongoing questions about her health.

    Merkel, 64, was standing at a military honors ceremony in Berlin when television cameras picked up what appeared to be her whole body trembling.

    Asked about her health during a press conference after the ceremony, she said, "I'm doing really well and one shouldn't worry." This echoed a statement her spokesman emailed to NBC News earlier in the day.

    It comes almost two weeks after Merkel was seen shaking during a meeting with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. After that occasion, her spokesman said that "the chancellor is well," and she traveled to the subsequent G-20 summit in Japan.

    A week earlier was the first time she was noticed shaking, that time during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Germany was in the midst of a heat wave, and Merkel later said she felt better after drinking some water.

    Wednesday's incident made headlines almost immediately, with the German tabloid newspaper Bild announcing: "Third trembling attack in three weeks."

    In a second story, the newspaper asked, "Does the chancellor have to tell us how she is really doing?" referring to Germany's strict privacy laws regarding personal medical information

    LOL? The old woman fell and you think it is funny? Hillary is healthy and fine. Trump shows signs of dementia. He is in terrible shape and controls his medical reports to keep us in the dark.

    It's funny because she is the chancellor of Doucheland. If she were the UK PM, I would feel bad for her.

    You Republicans have been doing this same lame nonsense, as part of the usual right wing shtick. If you don't care about an old, heavy set guy, that thinks exercise depletes some kind of life battery, and eats fast food more then anyone should, then you look silly doing it with your opponents. I mean just look at your side. This is basically biased blather trying to make a conspiracy again. You all just did it with Hillary, not that long ago, so don't think you can play the same hand again. Oh no someone that's old shook, they must be sick, and therefore unfit. I'm 33, and I shake. Shaking has little connection to health from an outside view. Caffeine, alcohol, medication, stress, the weather, just being old, etc can all cause shaking. Time for people to grow up a bit. She isn't even an issue that effects you, outside of being a bastion to liberals.

    Essential tremor is a neurological condition, meaning that it relates to the brain. This condition affects approximately 10 million people in the United States and can cause trembling in the hands, legs, body, or voice. Tremors can also be a symptom of Parkinson's disease.
