The Trump method is that if it’s broke...you actually ought to resolve the problem by fixing it or dumping it. In this case, the Interior Minister has looked over the various issues and written around forty repairs.
The Merkel solution is what the teenagers in German now call ‘merkling’. It literally means you are in charge of something with the authority to run it, but you do basically nothing other than observing it and talking about it. They now use the term for mayors, school directors, the Chancellor, and just anyone who refuses to take charge and ensure programs work.
Trump also gives long standing Gordian Knots that attract his attention a mighty whack to cut through them.
The keepers of the Knot are “displaced”.
Sounds like a good word for English to adopt/coopt.
Very astute and correct. Trump is the man!
To that definition of “merkling” should be added; silencing of anyone complaining that there is a problem.
Not to be confused witb Harfing or Grubering.
The Merkel solution is what the teenagers in German now call ‘merkling’ = Leading from behind...or Obamanomics
Did you get this from a first-hand source? I love it, but it sounds too good to be true.
