I've gone full-tilt conspiracy theory on this one. What if she wanted to create it? The inevitable out-of-control Anarchist mayham in Hamburg might be giving her exactly what she wants. That would be a goon squad of soldiers who can and will quell dissent wherever the EU has its claws.
President Trump knew exactly what he was doing, going to Poland and providing inspiration to stay strong to their values.
Any Western European country in the claws of the EU cannot be saved. Escaping the grip of this monster will only get harder, eventually impossible, with time.
That's my take, anyway.
What if Merkel was/is an Obama?
Whose job was to weaken Germany and allow the jihadist invaders to take over with minimal resistance, like Obama did to America for 8 years.
Fortunately, for us, Trump came along and spoiled things for their side.
