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.

I think he should stay home. Just another meeting of the “money makers”.

In light of Germany’s cozying up to Iran, perhaps a black chador would be a more appropriate choice of attire for Ms. Merkel.

Oh, no! Two soft squishy leftists are going to “gang up” on President “Donaldus Maximus” Trump..... Yeah, right. President Trump will talk right through them to the French and German people, and Micron and Merkeless will return to find their people supporting Trump.

These are the meetings that Trump thrives on.

Yeah. And Little Big Horn was the kind of battle Custer thrived on too.

He's going to a conference where nobody agrees with him. Nobody respects him. Nobody looks upon him as a leader. What can he hope to accomplish there?

Thats the thing.
Whatever crap they want, Trump will respond by withholding more and more money.

All the money is on Trump.

“I just want you to know,Frau Merkel,that I'm a student and admirer of a certain General George S Patton”...said the President to that filthy East German.

I would love to watch Trump wreck these two idiots.

He only needs to focus on the organ grinder (Merkel).Her monkey can safely be ignored.

President Trump is like Bad Frog. Attack him all you want and sneer and call him names - he just don't care.

They will be spending the whole time begging Trump to get back into the Paris Climate Scam.

Not even that. There won’t be an epic clash. The immigration debacle has significantly weakened the EU while Trump’s hard line position is gaining steam in Europe as countries move 1 by 1 to more conservative parties.

Germany and France are no more. Britain is on its last legs and may balk at or be sabotaged on Brexit. The virus of Islamic sympathies has taken root in the belly of Europe and nothing non Islamic can live in its atmosphere.

The more prosperous and generally larger EU members have ruined the economies of the smaller, poorer members, while destroying their sovereignty, their foreign policy, their domestic policies -- basically, the smaller EU members have been reduced to serfs. That should be in the POTUS' remarks. But he's always a step ahead of the rest of us, so, wait and see. Thanks Berlin_Freeper.

President Trump will talk about embracing the ‘Mommy State’
and Macron will blush.

Mine also. Merkel and Macron together don’t amount to shit compared to what Trump brings. If they don’t know it yet, they surely will in short order.

Why not? Trump strides the EU landscape like Tom Bombadil strides across Middle Earth. A free spirit, unmoved and unenchanted.

I’ll bet Trump has dreamed of this trip for years, decades.

Unless they play nice the other side is going to get stomped on.
