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.

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?

Nobody agreed with him, respected him or looked upon him as a leader and he won the primaries, the General, got loads of his agenda in force and generally swept all the lesser mortals before him. The old Stasi b!+ch and the pretty boy don’t stand a chance. They are posturing to a declining constituency.

The MSM echo chamber makes it seem like America is so over Trump, but that’s a lie and everyone knows it.

This is an economic forum. Trumpism is a winning economic agenda. Command and control-ism, not so much. Mass immigration is hurting the EU and everyone knows that, too.

Big Don is well aware of all the facts on the ground and he will make sure to capitalize on them, bigly.

As long as they could stage Merkel in some way to avoid talking business, the German economy, and taxation...she might show up. She has virtually no program that can counter Trump and it’s a waste of time to pretend she does.
