Merkel On Trump's ‘Go Back:' ‘This Is Something That Contradicts The Strength Of America’ | NBC News

You know it’s sad when Germany has to condemn this president 🤦🏻‍♂️

[markgrissom]

The United States became the global center of talented people precisely because Germany expelled its talented people out of the country. Now, US is asking those who don't agree with its political agenda to get out. It thus sends a message to everyone that it is not able to adjust and grow. It has become hubristic. We all know what comes after you reach the apex: You go downward. Sometimes, the downward journey is schnell.

Merkel is a smart leader who Knows how to speak, I like her.

Very enlightening video on how the world views America.

The citizens of your country have been saying the same thing for years.

From an American that has moved to and lives in Deutschland! Gott sein Dank! Deutschland, the new leader of the free world.

As someone who spends a great deal of time in Germany, as I live within 1 mile of the Country, I can certainly testify that there are lots of Germans who wants Merkels Guests to go back to the country they came from....!

The international opinion about the USA has NEVER been SO BAD

[carolae.]

Trump never said the congresswomen HAD to leave. He said if they don't agree with policy, they are free to leave, unlike the slaves and their descendants who had little choice in the matter, which is true. No one forced any immigrant to come. They came voluntarily and can go back if they wish.

İch bin froh das jetzt endlich Trump nein gesagt hat

[atilyildiz]

Liebe Frau Merkel es wird zeit das auch sie in die Türkei kommen und Erdogan Berlin’ s stärke zeigen

[thulsa_doom]

Yeah, right. This lady doesn't explain exactly *how* illegal immigrants from 3rd world countries help America to be the most powerful nation in the world.

you can tell its a strength by the constant fighting and balkanization, and loss of identitiy as well as the undercuting of wages destroying the middle class.

Ask yugoslavia what a "strength" diversity was.

Angela Dorothea Kazmieezak (alias Merkel) should go back where she came from. :-/
