As many of the world's leaders sit down to talk policy and diplomacy in Hamburg this week, it presents a rather interesting opportunity for some comparisons.

As every great democracy knows, change is inevitable - leaders cannot stay in power forever - so when the old guard leave and their replacements attend events such as this, it's rather fascinating to see how the rest of the pack reacts.

A prime example of this would be Angela Merkel's reaction to two US President's.

Mrs Merkel has been Chancellor of Germany since 2005, and has therefore worked closely with Barack Obama and is now set to work with Donald Trump.

Here are just a few comparisons between Donald Trump with Angela Merkel and Barack Obama with Angela Merkel.
