This Merkel thing, much ado about nothing. The eu and Germany need the USA far more, not even close, that the USA needs them.
Me personally, I'm fine with cutting the eu off. As long as we never come to their rescue again. This third european war will be against the muzzies. We should stay out. Let them reap what Merkel and the non-Elites of europe have sown.
As to intellect or drive, on one hand we have a multi billionaire real estate tycoon and on the other we have a husband coattails riding grifter.
