He isn't being asked about a political matter. Also, many times politicians are asked about things they cannot really control, or cannot talk about because negotiating hasn't concluded, or they don't know, or it would make look bad, or they would hurt someone else if they told exactly what happened. Have you always told whatever it was in your mind every time someone asked you a compromising question - in public, before cameras... international cameras? Also, there's a difference between keeping things secret, and openly lying. Everyone knows that politicians don't tell the whole truth most of the time, but so far only Trump had international newspapers keeping tally of his lies. That was a new one. Too many alternative facts.

@soleybeverage 8 ай бұрын

There are actually quite some differences between German & Austrian humor, but it's difficult to explain to someone who doesn't speak German. Similar to it being difficult for anyone not speaking English to discern British from American humor. A (not fully true) stereotype though is, that us Austrians think Germans have very little sense of humor but their act together whereas the Austrians can be hilarious jokers and laugh about themselves because they're not always taking themselves very seriously. Partly as a consequence of having lost two world wars, shrinking from empire to irrelevant in a few decades, a few generations ago.
