Here’s a hoot. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is in bed with Turkish dictator and blackmail artist Recep Tayyip Erdogan lectured Donald Trump in a half-baked, half-assed congratulations letter to Trump.
At the heart of the letter, Merkel set the tone for cooperation with Trump. She ought to be worried about her own bedfellows, not lecturing others with “conditions”.
Please consider Merkel Takes Liberal-Democratic Stand in Post-Trump World.
It is unprecedented for a German chancellor to lecture a US president-elect on democratic values — but Angela Merkel has been so shaken by Donald Trump’s victory that she did exactly that in her letter of congratulation to the man heading for the White House.
“Germany and America are bound by common values,” she wrote. “Democracy, freedom, as well as respect for the rule of law and the dignity of each and every person regardless of their origin, skin colour, creed, gender, sexual orientation or political views.” Future co-operation, the EU’s most powerful leader added, would be “based on these values”.
For Germany to set such conditions for working with the US is unheard of. But so is the nature of the gauntlet that Mr Trump has thrown down, after a campaign in which he not only caused outrage with his views on themes covered in Ms Merkel’s letter but also insulted the German chancellor, calling her policies “a catastrophe”.
Merkel’s Catastrophe
It is obvious to any thinking person that Merkel’s refugee policy was, and remains, a catastrophe.
Merkel made a deal with Turkey, whose leader is a dictator, liar, thug, and blackmailer.
It was not even her deal to make. After it was done, other countries complained bitterly, but ultimately gave in to her highness.
In April, in a speech before Turkey’s Parliament, speaker Ismail Kahraman called for a “new constitution, a religious constitution.”
