Saw this while perusing Fox News' website this morning. Dead on.
Frau Merkel, you might not like Herr Trump but you need him
By John Moody Published May 30, 2017 Fox News
Here’s some unsolicited advice for German Chancellor Angela Merkel: Achtung!
Merkel’s uncalled-for remarks about the United States no longer being a trustworthy partner for its European allies set off a frenzy. Was she so displeased with President Trump during last week’s G-7 meeting? Was their discourse so strident that she thought a verbal warning shot was necessary?
Or is she just trying to keep her job?
Remember, Germany has federal elections scheduled for September, and Merkel, while slightly ahead in most polls, has no sure lock on keeping her party, the Christian Democrats, in the majority. A strong, though receding surge for Socialist Martin Schulz, and a newly energized far-right party, the Alternative for Germany, has squeezed the chancellor, who has been in power since 2005.
But Merkel’s horrible decision to open the gates of Europe to tens of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa turned her own people against her. Only Germany’s robust economy has saved her from humiliation in the last round of local elections – often an indicator of how federal elections will turn out.
Yes, she needs us a
lot more than Trump needs Germany.

Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
