Angela Merkel says Germany can no longer rely on Donald Trump's America: 'We Europeans must take our destiny into our own hands'
German Chancellor says traditional western alliance threatened by new presidency and UK's Brexit
Samuel Osborne 2 hours ago

Angela Merkel has suggested Germany and Europe can no longer rely on the US under Donald Trump.

Speaking at a campaign event held in a Bavarian beer tent, the German Chancellor emphasised the need for friendly relations with the US, Britain and Russia, but added: “We Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands.”

Ms Merkel said that as the traditional western alliance is threatened by the new US presidency and Brexit, “the times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days.”

While Germany and Europe would strive to maintain relations with the US and Britain, Ms Merkel said, “we need to know we must fight for our own future as Europeans for our destiny.”

2. I think this trip of his has brought everyone else to that conclusion, also

Until we manage to get him out of office, this country will be in a holding pattern with none of the international work on treaties and agreements getting done because everybody is afraid those agreements will be overturned the day that thing is out of office.

And friends to countries run by dictators (Russia, Saudi Arabia)

6. When I heard her on CNN I started yelling 4 letter words at the Donald so loudly I woke my dog.

He has single handedly screwed up our European relationships for who knows how many years. Unbelievable! What a fucking jackass! Putin is thrilled and the rapist murderer in the Philippines is his buddy! What country am I living in... NOT the USA as far as I can tell?!

France is part of the EU and they are regarded to have the third largest stockpile of nukes in the world.

15. Trump and Bannon

Are blowing up the world order for Putin. I wonder when Putin will move against Western Europe? I fully expect Trump to tell our troops in the theater to stand down when it happens.
