...whatever our view of Merkel, we should be alarmed at how other nations are now able to highlight the worst of America just by remarking on our president's inhumanity and virulent bigotry. We used to hold ourselves out as an example for other democracies, we're now in the 'what not to do' category in foreign affairs and history.

1. we are at our lowest low

we were there before with Bush, but this imbecile has him beat. Torn down the infrastructure of every branch of government and has disgraced us among our allies.

8. The worst part of that is, he doesn't seem to care.

19. What is even worse

is how many of our fellow citizen don't care and in fact think what he is doing is great and that it make us look tough. When in fact it make us look very weak especially when it come to Putin and NK

20. Don't forget Bird's Theorem

Which is “‘We The People’ are stupid.”

21. Sad but true.

Welcome to DU!

[True Dough]

2. Two thumbs up

Right on, Chancellor!

[delisen]

3. Merkel leader of free world-straight talk-no hesitation,

no equivocation.

4. The Rump is a slimy, racist motherfucker, and Merkel is not fooled by him

[yonder]

11. A little salt would fix that.

[Wounded Bear]

5. And the Trumplodytes will rant and rale at how them socialist europeans don't matter...

Well said, Madame Chancellor.

[Scarsdale]

6. We would have had an

intelligent, woman president if only Putin had kept his fingers out of the US election. He had so much dirt on tRump and obviously other republicans, that he OWNED the entire group. His mission was to destroy the US, and in just a few short years, he has accomplished so much towards that goal.

10. K&R, Thank you Angela !!! The world is against Donald Trumps hate

[Princetonian]

12. Love her style. Merkel is the most iconic female head of state in my time.

One of a kind in the best way.

13. kick

14. They (Germany) are so far advanced than us in so many ways.

16. Thank you, Angela!

She is the leader of a country that remembers the horror of living with fascism. We need to be proactive and remove the Natzi in the White House, before our children and grandchildren come to understand this the same way Germans and Germany did! I fear we are not too far from having that fate forced upon us if we cannot wake up a complacent citizenry ASAP!

17. Let's See - Our Most Important Ally On The Continent Has A Problem With POTUS?

Perhaps the Rethugs, who love to wrap themselves in the flag and do everything they can to align themselves with the military, would worry about this trend since some of our most important armed forces' overseas operations are on German soil.

18. They are terrified it will encourage their own nativist and neo nazis

If the US President is for it how bad can it be?

He isn't just having an impact on our democracy but every democracy.

Putin must be very proud.

All this chaos for pennies on the dollar.

22. K&R - Leader of the Free World says it!

[KentuckyWoman]

23. My husband thinks US Citizens should start petitioning our neighbors and Europe for help

He's terminal and maybe has a few more months. Lately his thinking has been really crystal clear. His mind is opening up while at the same time his brain is slowing shutting down.

He's been saying for a few months we need to start asking the leaders of Mexico, Canada and Europe for help. Our government is broken and the human rights violations are adding up. He thinks the conditions at the border, and in poor black neighborhoods, amounts to a form of genocide.

Maybe I should ask him to write a letter so I can send it to Chancellor Merkel.

24. I think that's an excellent idea for your hubby

...so exemplary and selfless to be thinking about the rest of us at this difficult time.

Best wishes for the both of you.
