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.

Where have you been for the past two years and counting?
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.
This is the kind of stuff Trump thrives on....

Will Spike Jones be performing the theme music? It’ll be epic, all right. And fun, too.
Herr Trump, vat do you mean I am a traitor to Chermany?
Monsieur le Trump, I assure you zat I do have a back bone, and a pair, too, whatevair zat means.
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.
