BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel is considering joining French President Emmanuel Macron at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week in what could turn into an epic clash of competing world views with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Merkel, who has been struggling to put together a government since a German election in September, had been expected to skip the annual gathering of leaders, CEOs, bankers and celebrities in the Swiss Alps for a third straight year.

But after clinching a preliminary coalition agreement with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) on Friday, German officials said Merkel could travel to Davos after all, possibly setting up a major confrontation with Trump, who is expected to speak on the final day of the forum.

It’s not clear to me that Macron is opposing Trump all that hard. And Merkel seems on her way out the door.

Perhaps “epic” only in the sense that one of the combatants is desperate.

Why on earth is Trump going to a conference where the world view of everyone there will be completely opposite of what Trump professes to believe?

If you ever saw those “Big in the Bumdestag” pics of Merkel from 2006, I think you’d agree that pants, any pants, are just fine.

These are the meetings that Trump thrives on.

Merkel skipped this meeting 3 years in a row. She's only going because Trump is going and always likes trying to upstage him.

But she always comes off as an old hag.
