    Trump's message of alienating current allies and commitments, from refusing to endorse the G7 messay on climate change and refusing to explicitly endorse article 5 of NATO, has been loudly heard and poorly received.

    Well it is true. I think it is ok to adress this and Germany moves on to build our future without too close relationship with USA

    We already signed it. That's a current commitment that we have and that this president is willing to break because he is a simpleton.

    She has a phd in quantum physics...what has Trump achieved so far? He is an intellectual dwarf.

    You do know that Merkel ordered our diplomatic corps to print easy understandable leafleats because Trump is incapable to follow conversations?

    Trump achieved the impossible on nov 8, 2016.

    Your shemale is either extremely smart, or extremely stupid, depending on your opinion of Islam.

    All follow it. Entire EU, Canada and also China. Trump rides a dead horse. And he ruins american jobs. His own energy corporations are pro climate saving neassurements. Merkel tried to explain him, that he loses acess to future technologies because he doesent invest in new tech. He is to stupid to ubderstabd this.

    Maybe it's this PHD that helped her make the claim that “We Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands.”

    Her brilliance shines through.

    Just because a bunch of idiots follow and idiotic wet dream down a rabbit hole doesn't make them actually smart.

    Merkel,was able,to lock down migration to almost zero. She pushed 3 laws into action that allow faster deportations and camps outside europe. Trump achieved nothing. He kisses Saudi Arabias ass, while Merkel blocks weapon sales there. Trump is a supporter of Wahabi terrorists

    There are a lot of us that figure it is high past time for Europe to stand on its own. Europe has relied on the United States for its security since the end of WWII. It was understandable when it was west vs. east, the U.S. and it allies vs. the USSR and it allies. The USSR is no more, the Warsaw Pact is no more. But NATO still exists with the U.S. picking up most of the tab.

    With the breakup of the USSR and the disbanding of the Warsaw Pack, NATO accomplished its mission. The cold war is over unless those who want to bring it back, does so. It's been over 70 years since the end of WWII, it is high past time for Europe to stand on its own. We don't need to be the world's policeman anymore.

    Obviously, you must be talking about Trump and his followers!

    Amazing how projection works!
    By the way, did you hear how even the new comer in Europe leaders has demonstrated to your "king without clothes" that he will not take his crap and his ridiculous "power handshakes?"

    I just love it! Thank you President Macron for showing you are a true leader and that you will no take crap from the orange clown!

    So Merkel finally took a trip into reality and realized that every nation should take care of themselves and not expect the US to do it for them.

    How is this a bad thing for us or for Germany?

    It seemed clear from the election that the American people wanted a leader rather than a follower, someone who 'leads from behind'. If there are those who feel Justin Trudeau will lead them out of the wilderness they really should study the matter more closely.
