I'll read the UK Guardian and DW when I get home from work later this evening, but just wondering if you recommended anything.

The leader of the free world meets Donald Trump
It goes on to talk about Merkel and how she is the world's last best hope.
They're not wrong.

(42,770 posts)13. And here's a good opinion piece from el Pais -- Spain.
Dunces are, in and of themselves, relatively harmless, and even positive when they are aware of their ignorance and look for help to cover it. Dangerous dunces are those with power over others, and as they dont recognize their ignorance, they disparage the opinion of others. They try to impose their simplifying post-truth, they look for enemies to blame for the reality that they invent, although they use some elements of truth and the fear that this always generates.
Trumps most dangerous walls are already built and petrified in his head. They are the ones that should cause the most concern in the United States, Mexico, Latin America, the European Union and the rest of the world, because this character is at the helm of the still number one power in the world. There was never a project in his head to govern the diversity that makes his country strong, nothing similar to a program of government in his campaign, and less so in his investiture speech: because this gentleman only trusts his own psychopathic instincts and those who adulate his insulting and deceitful manners.
This guy nails it; http://elpais.com/elpais/2017/03/06/inenglish/1488811525_347070.html
