The usually poker-faced Angela Merkel couldn’t contain a chuckle at the G7 in Biarritz on Monday as Trump announced his plans to visit Germany “soon” at the German chancellor’s invitation.

In a news conference held prior to their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit, a reporter asked Merkel if she had invited the US president to Berlin, and if so, how he had responded, according to CNN footage. The German chancellor said she had invited Trump “many times” on previous occasions, and then deferred to the US president. Trump responded, “We’ll be there … we’re very honored by the invitation — and that’s true — and we will be there. Maybe soon,” he said, before adding, “I have German in my blood,” at which Merkel raised her eyebrows and chortled. […]

In the hours after the news conference, #TrumpNotWelcome began trending on Twitter in Germany, with many Twitter users expressing hostility and lack of interest at the prospect of the US president visiting Germany, and amusement at Merkel’s reaction. […]

Following Trump’s announcement of his plans to visit Germany, the mayor of the hometown of Trump’s grandparents, Kallstadt, shrugged at the news. “If he comes, then he comes; if he doesn’t, then he doesn’t. Until then, our church clock will keep ticking as usual,” Mayor Thomas Jaworek told DPA on Monday. …

A snide article about nothing but a chance to “chortle” in smugness. We should move our troops out of Germany and into Poland, where there are fewer snots and more grateful citizens.

They are insane.

They should be overjoyed that Trump is willing to visit.

Yup. I’ve been saying that for years. Poland is proud, believes in their national sovereignty, has been a good friend of ours, and has kept their borders closed to illegals.

Laugh while you can, mutti. They're still either at your throat or at your heels.

Why is “People who hate Trump” and “Trump makes a mistake(we think)” The major topic on this site now?

Seems like the narrative is shifting to disrespect for the leader of the free world.

Trump cures cancer. Undertakers suffer job loss and fear for their future!

Plus, we'll co-pay for these troops

And here in Warsaw you'll find this

The Ronald Reagan statue just opposite the American embassy

And we have a train station named after Woodrow wilson (instrumental in the 1919 push to recognize Poland's right to exist).

NO, it’s the muslim marxist voice that is out shouting everyone else.
The traditional would be very overjoyed.
The “crazies” have a larger megaphone for the moment.

It’s like a Palestainian crisis.

I think the chances of Trump visiting Germany are about as slim as his chances of visiting Denmark.

The Fritzes need us far worse than we need them.

Mutti Merkel can chuckle all she wants, but the Vaterland is being absorbed into the greater Muslim Ummah, and will soon be dominated by angry young men who claim all German females for their own use.

German polizei now only carry pepper spray? When I was there they packed 9mm pistols and Walther submachine guns and weren’t shy about firing warning bursts over drunken G.I.s.

During the Cold War Communist Merkel’s pro-communist West Germans didn’t like the American’s being there either -— thus, “So What Else is New?”

“I have German in my blood”

Which is more than can be said for any of the Muslim invaders.

The West Germans in the small towns where most American’s were stationed in Hesse, the Rhineland, and especially Bavaria, liked us and we had a good relationship with them. The Reds in cities like Frankfurt and Berlin didn’t.

Oh yeah.....Someone do a quick poll or set up a way for the members of the police and military, to see how they feel. Just out of curiosity.

Screw the Germans.

We whipped their worthless asses twice, and they’ve only become 100X more worthless since then.

Nothing new. Hell when pants dropper came to Baumholder in Dec ‘95 we had a large sign just outside the gate saying: “Welcome Home Draft Dodger”
