The drag queen previously said she would be happy to meet Ms Petry and "take a photo with her". The drag queen also has political ambitions of her own - earlier this month she told Saarbruecker Zeitung she would like to be president herself. Ms Jones said she hoped Mr Steinmeier would be an "anti-Trump" figure and said his reputation for calmness and strategic thinking would also be useful in countering the US president, Die Welt newspaper reported. She arrived in a wheelchair after undergoing a leg-shortening operation to reduce the length of her legs by 6cm.
