Aight Jill you're up to the bat.

I'm not seeing any policy comparisons between Trump and Merkel.

funny, I would have said Merkel too wonder how Trump's "gas the refugees"-type followers will respond to his disclaimer statement

Don't worry Gary, you're not missing out on much when it comes to foreign world leaders.

Why would trump pick Merkel? The alt right hates her. Why not pick Farange, Duterte, or Bibi? Those are all right wingers who are friendly or act similarly to Trump.

I honestly would have expected Trump to just say "they're all shit, we're going to make global politics great again", but he always surprises

[QUOTE=Svinnik;51129086]Why would trump pick Merkel? The alt right hates her.[/QUOTE] He did spend the majority of his answer being disappointed with this "move with the whole thing on immigration". Otherwise, I think that Germany is a very attractive 'brand' because it's an incredibly wealthy and industrious country with a national stereotype of being efficient and hard working. 'Hard work' is the bread and butter of a lot of Republican appeals. While it'd be more accurate to to pin that stereotype on a country like Japan or South Korea than Germany, Germany is european, white, arguably has more right-wing economic beliefs than the current US administration (they also deal with economic crises somewhat differently!), and plus, Merkel is a conservative.

You'd figure Trump would have named off someone like Putin, but whatever.
