Trump’s latest foe on the campaign trail? German chancellor Angela Merkel and her ‘insane’ refugee policy

German Chancellor Angela Merkel dodged Donald Trump’s assertion that her reluctance to halt the inflow of hundreds of thousands of refugees is “insane.” With a record 800,000 or more refugees and migrants expected to arrive in Germany this year, Merkel says fences or caps on migration won’t stop people from fleeing war zones like Syria.

Trump, the front-runner for the U.S. Republican presidential nomination, criticized Germany’s open-door commitment on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“Frankly, look, Europe’s going to have to handle it, ” he said. “But they’re going to have riots in Germany. What’s happening in Germany, I always thought Merkel was, like, this great leader. What she’s done in Germany is insane. It’s insane.”

Merkel’s determination to let the refugees come was strengthened after anti-immigrant riots erupted in the eastern German town of Heidenau in August, aides have said. In other parts of Germany, meanwhile, people volunteered to help and house the new arrivals as the stream grew this summer.

Well Trump's refugee policy is certainly the opposite of Merkel's since he would accept zero refugees. Calling other nation's leaders 'insane' is so "Trump".

2. She is insane. She invited millions of migrants into Germany without consulting the German people.

The Germans are a tolerant people, but push them too far and there'll be a backlash like you've never seen before.

5. That is like a huge turd calling a gold nugget worthless.

Dump wouldn't know how to survive without the tremendous white privilege his rich daddy left him. Can you imagine him as a refugee?

Wouldn't last 5 seconds.
