Maybe she can give him some lessons in Foreign Policy and Global Economy Policy. But perhaps I am naive in believing that he will listen to what she will trying to explain to him.

I'm looking forward to what SNL will make out of this visit.

Her visit is delayed by a severe snowstorm in the northeast USA. Hopefully she will have second thoughts since all she will accomplish is a photo-op and a tweet from Trump afterwards, unless she plays golf.

She is in trouble and she wants to use Trump to make a statement.

Not a chance.

Liberal Germans boycotted this American’s burger joint after Trump won. Then the right came to his rescue.

Yet the boom in business, Smith fears, may not last — especially as more distant conservatives find it tough to drive miles out of their way for a pro-Trump burger every night. In fact, in the last few days, he said, business has begun tapering off again.

He is already mulling backup plans.

“I thought about asking for a job with the White House in case the restaurant closes,” Smith said.
I think she is on a PR visit on behalf of German automobiles.

Perhaps she's seeking a tax exemption on the Mercedes. Makes sense since that's what the wealthy drive and everyone knows that rich people should only dictate law, not pay taxes.

The burgher guy simply stated that the US tax payer was subsidizing European Defense and he was hammered.

Frau Merkel who is in deep shit is coming here to talk to her constituents. She going to use Trump to create contrast.

Yeah, the filthy rich drive Maybachs. Several of them, in the case of one of Trump's truly Ugly American supporters. I wonder how many of his idiot listeners, many of them barely scraping by, have any clue of the lifestyle they're enabling?
