Idea of a Trump White House leaves Germany angry and anxious (barf)
CNBC ^ | 08/18/2016 | Elizabeth Schulze | Everett Rosenfeld

Eight years ago, a U.S. presidential candidate named Barack Obama captivated hundreds of thousands of cheering supporters at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate with a promise to tear down walls between races and nations.

Over the last year, however, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has provoked ire from German quarters after repeatedly disparaging the country.

On Monday, Trump sought to insult Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by comparing her to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying incorrectly that crime had skyrocketed under Germany’s refugee policies. Those comments, and others, have left Germans — from the highest pinnacles of business to the grungiest parks — transfixed on the U.S. presidential election.

Unlike in 2008, many report confusion and fear in the face of a candidate who vows to build a wall and shut out allies if he wins the White House in November. …

But no confusion and fear in the face of those millions of refujihadi they imported. OK then. Our elections rather than their own domestic problems leave them “transfixed”, sure.

Yeah, all them there refugees is angry and anxious. Not the Germans whose towns have been taken over, who’ve been victim of their crimes. It would be interesting to know who the authors have spoken with in Germany to come to this conclusion. Probably no one outside of the left wing cafes in urban areas.

Good. I hope the dumb Krauts are shaking in their jack boots.

We should pull all our military bases out of that Euro-Islamist hellhole for good measure.

What a hot, steaming pile CNBC leaves on the floor. Somebody swat them on the nose with a baseball bat. Aluminum, preferably...

I have great admiration and respect for the innovation, the work ethic and attention to detail that Germans are known for. However, if they can’t do any better than Angela Merkel as their leader, with about 54% STILL SUPPORTING her, even after Colonge and the axes on public buses, then I don’t presently require their electoral guidance.

A lot of the best German men were sacrificed in WW2. They became wool sock wearing wusses who will take it up the behind by jihadists.

The Germans liked Obama. Do the opposite of what the Germans like. They know shit about the US. What other Western Country would invite 2 million Moslems into its country, refuse to protect its women, change pool rules, etc? Who, GERMANY!

Just from one night in Cologne, more than 1200 attacks:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/688767/German-police-revise-up-number-of-victims-of-Cologne-migrant-sex-attacks

2000 “migrants” involved but only a small number can be identified and prosecuted from CCTV.

Germany is under invasive assault but they want to worry about Trump saying something against Merkel. HA HA.

Germany can continue to welcome all the Moslems.

President Trump wants no part of them.

The media means LIBERAL Germans are angry. I guarantee the conservative ones are not.

Good! Germans have become idiots and their country a joke.

Tonight Trump said Hillary was “running to become the American version of Angela Merkel”...big laughs.

So screw Germany, and if Trump makes them nervous - good!
