I’m sure that Macron and Merkel insulting Trump publicly didn’t help them any.
Not to mention Francis the talking pope and beimg “ warned” by that UN pipsqueak
Perhaps you can help me understand about Merkel. When I first read hear about her attacks, I called her bad names.
But then, I actually heard some of her words. It seems she was actually acknowledging that there was big change underway and Germany must adjust by becoming more self reliant.
I would think that Trump’s objective was to nudge the Euros to be more self reliant.
In effect it seems that Trump’s gambit eas successful.
