She's being diplomatic because she is a rational and civil person, an actual leader. But I would like to hear her be completely honest and call out Trump for the dangerous buffoon he truly is. ;)
Angela Merkel's immigration, energy and defense policies were a complete failure. She single-handedly overruled the EU and encouraged the influx of literally millions of illegal migrants to Germany and Europe. This directly led to the rise of the actual far-right in Germany, since she took her formerly conservative CDU so far to the left, that it ceased to be a conservative party. She ordered the end of German nuclear power, leaving us dependent on Russia as our main energy supplier. She also implemented heaving savings and a reduction in German defense, leading to a significantly weakened German military at a time when Russia started the first European land war in decades. So, the damage she has done to Germany is not even measurable. Thats what happens when you don't have term limits and your chancellor grew up as a communist in East Germany. Cheers from Germany.

What I don't like is that she could have done much more to keep our infrastructure from falling apart everywhere, takeing care of the environment and direct people away from buying and developing loud and stinky combustion cars that don't get us anywhere. Even her successors are still pledging to be able to manufacture ICE cars past 2030, which equals shooting yourself in the foot. Anyway there is much to like about her and I thank her for her work, I just wish she could influence her party to get rid of these populistic clowns like Markus Söder and Friedrich Merz, they are spreading so much misinformation on a daily basis just to catch voters, who are against any change, which is why Germany is in the bad situation we are in right now.
Not really. As a German I must disagree. She was horrible. No drama should not be the measure of a leader. She didn't get anything done in her 16 year tenure. And we are paying the price now. So.
Some people in the US: Women cannot be presidents, they are "too emotional". Meanwhile, Germany: Let's elect Merkel for 16 years, until she finally decides to retire.
And in 16 years she flooded Germany/Eu/Europe with inferior people that have never belonged in civilized society. So either you are a shill or you're a moron, which is it?

@@Benefacez Yes she was. Trump basically looks up to dictators -Trump on China’s Xi consolidating power: ‘Maybe we’ll give that a shot some day’ -Trump told Putin 'I'm a big fan of yours' and asked him to be the guest of honor at a Miss Universe pageant, in a series of fawning letters -Trump says he wants ‘my people’ to ‘sit up at attention’ like North Koreans
No German politician today embodies her remarkable stamina, intellect, diplomacy, and unwavering decency. To me, she was an extraordinary leader, and after dedicating 16 years as Germany's chancellor, she truly deserves a long and serene life. My gratitude and admiration for her are boundless.
BREAKING: A judge in Georgia just ordered Fani Willis to release all communications she had with Jack Smith and the January 6th Committee to plot the RICO case against President Trump.😂🤣😂
She single handedly ruined EU by opening the borders to millions of refugees/migrants without a single thought about the consequences such a sudden change in demography would have. Now look at UK, Germany, France, Sweden etc. There are no go zones now in their cities where Europeans are afraid to go to.
I live in germany and she definitely is not and never was UNIVERSALLY recognized as the leader of the free world lol. Europe, let alone germany alone does not have the unity, capability or power to be any kind of world leader, thinking that is completely delusional. It is a dependant and struggling continent between world powers like the US. Besides that beurocracy, the total enemy of free decision making, skyrocketed under her leadership.
And people (men) say Women are too emotinal 😂😂😂 Trump is extremely emotional...takes everything personal as if . Revenge revenge because someone hurt his feelings
Trump is not emotional - he has no emotion, empathy, character, ethics or morals. He lacks every leadership trait and human trait we all would like to have in a President - or a neighbor.
It is so rare to see an interviewer not interrupt. Thanks for that. It was so interesting to hear AM’s full answers. And what an impressive woman - her answers seemed so balanced which, sadly, is something that is quite out of style today.
I heard one of the commentators saying that Putin actually only finally decided to invade Ukraine after Merkel was gone from the German government, as she was one of the very few politicians he considered worthy being cautious and not to mess with. Merkel certainly had a very good reputation here in Europe ( I am not German) and to me she was definitely a true statesman.
You have got to be kidding. You think Merkel could do anything against Putin? The Germans may find out very soon what will happen if Trump withdraws from NATO or pressures the Germans to protect themselves. The likes of Merkel have made Germany vulnerable through an insane energy transition and reliance on Russia for oil and gas--now, they rely on the US. The German economy is stagnant with its industrial sector reliant of LNG from the US. They may lose VW. Merkel's policies on migration, energy, and Russia have been a disaster. Europe is in decline. The Us and China will dominate the world going forward.
@@TheRestnCat He would have chosen another strategy mayhap. Merkel was good about finding compromises and building alliances - it would have been much more difficult for him with her around. Then, she grew up in Eastern Germany (which is the reason why her English is moderate - she learnt it late, but is said to speak a decent Russian) - she was more than familiar with his socialist shenanigans and did not buy any of it if it didn‘t suit her. Even if she was a bit too pragmatic with respect to Russian gas, the initial idea over here was that in connecting with Russia instead of ostracising it, Russia might move more towards its European roots, away from the central Asian oligarchy ones. Well, as we do know now, that failed as Putin was buying our European „kool-aid“ only as long as it suited _him_ . Anyways, these two, as people, had next to no sympathy for each other. And it showed.
@@marge2548 She was the leader of Germany in easy times. I don't really see what merits she has for world democracy, but I see how devastating the consequences of her decisions are for Europe.
@@dizzydean2767don’t bother explaining with these people they are so riddled with the lies forced into them they would rather live in their delusional little sad fantasy bubble.
😂 More like most disgusting, traitorous person in the world. Do you have ANY idea of how much damage she did to germany? If not for Censor-Tube, i could prove to you she's on the same level as mustache man.
I am a German, and despite faults were being made during her administration (remember her ministers were often reaponsible for many of the mistakes and went against her advise), I sorely miss her political style and her demeanor. She is not a beer buddy person, but someone I would genuinly like to know and have meaningful conversations with.
Nobody is perfect (luckily) and politicians have to deal with the opposition so rarely do what they want. Just like Biden not all is good but take all the improvements you can. Rump however is only about him and his billionaire friends
She also told all NATO partners to never count on him honoring their mutual treaty. He told Turkey to go ahead and slaughter the Northern Alliance partners who helped America get Osama bin Laden...because they were Kurds. Allying with America is never wise if it is run by a Republican. France said no way would they help GW in his fake Iraq war that killed 5000 Americans, and 500,000 Iraqis for a carrier landing photo-op as a campaign tactic. Remember Freedom Fries. France called the fake Iraq war a military adventure. Reagan did the same thing in election season by invading Grenada. GHW invaded Iraq for his election season and boosted his favorability to 78% GOP loves to sacrifice vets for campaign tactics.
Merkel is one of the puppets that flooded Germany and or the EU or Europe with INFERIOR "Replacements" So you're either a bot, a shill or a moron. Which is it?
@ I remember donOLD talking about his divorce from Ivana, saying he should not have let her work with one of his businesses. Sounds like he didn’t like that she was too good at her job. Oh ya, he paid her in dresses. Hope she got very expensive ones. Being the smallest man that ever lived, I’m sure he was/ is easily threatened.
Trump warned Germany about their Nord Stream 2 pipeline. He was right. He criticized Germany for their lack of defense spending. He was right about that also.
@@sausagesausagesausage Yep, he was, and I grant him that - even if he was rarely the only one to have said it. However: The way he went on about the issue in his Trumpish way, even if it DID shake up us complacent Europeans a little, weakened NATO‘s reputation in such a severe way that with that he enabled Putin to invade Ukraine later on. Second, he started to transfer a lot of US troops from Germany to Poland because Poland was cheaper and highly compliant with his demands since they wanted more protection from Russia. They were, I guess, also less whiny and less demanding than German officials. All valid points. Only that there had been an unofficial agreement that there would be no significant US troops in former communist countries. Ignoring that, bringing troops closer to the Russian border, gave Putin - in Russia - an excuse and an explanation for his people as for why it might be sensible to view NATO and enemies again. This also contributed to war in Ukraine, later. Trump has a sound idea of wins and losses, but as Merkel also said here: He will always settle with the short-term solution. He was dealing budget. He completely omitted geopolitical strategy. It won him money, but on the long run, it cost us all much more.
@@marge2548 I mean they should have just listened to him, what exactly did trump do to NATO? Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge, you know right? In fact Obama transferred the largest number of troops to Poland, not Trump. Also it's not wrong to keep US interests first
@@rockstar4127 I mean, they did listen, and sped up their payments. However, only 16% of the current NATO budget is payed by the US. All this lamenting about "Oh, the US spend so much of their GDP on the military and all the European countries don't" fails to take into account that the US military is engaged worldwide, while the NATO is a regional organisation covering the North Atlantic and the bordering countries (aka the USA, Canada and Western Europe). Of the real NATO costs, as of 2024, the USA covers 16%, Germany, with their poor share of GDP covers 16%, the UK 11% and France 10%, and the rest is the rest) - which means: Only a minimum of the vast amount the US spend on their military even goes into NATO. So it is not the NATO costs that blow the military costs up out of all proportion. "US interests first" is of course good for the US. Failing to see when the interests of others might on the long run also benefit the US is good for no one. US troops in Poland Obama vs. Trump: You got me there... It was a huge thing in German media when Trump publicly announced in 2017 that he would give Poland more troops (relocate them from Germany) since Poland needed them against Russia and Germany was "lazy" (to sum it up). Obamas decisions were covered a bit more matter of factly, so like everything Trump undertakes, he made it feel and look bigger than it might have actually been. And I fell for it. ;) - So, sorry for that one, but that had left a lasting impression on me.
@@marge2548 Putin had already invaded Ukraine in 2014, violating the Budapest Memorandum. They don't need an excuse. And what was the German response? Buy more gas, and continue under funding their defense. Now they have reversed that decision after Putin inevitably invaded again, cancelling NS2 and increasing defense spending. They made the most short sighted decisions possible. They didn't make the "ethical" stance when it was necessary in 2014, they didn't make the defensive decision when it was necessary in 2014, they made the economic decision of low defense and cheap energy. Of course they reversed that now because the Germans are decent people so they have not even benefited economically.
Like the late Queen Elizabeth II for the United Kingdom? But politicians are elected for their daily work, not to represent and wave from the balcony and remain silent. Green politician Anton Hofreiter: “Scholz is very similar to Merkel” Most Germans would like to see a more active chancellor, especially one who communicates more.
Smart women. Angela Merkel is fantastic. She is a true testiment to show leadership, respect, and skill. Why couldnt US be inspired and instead of fear and choose Harris? What a better future we would have. Merkel is truly missed in the politics. And so will Harris be but I hope she stays on. We need sound voices like them more than ever.
Europe is full of islamist and is an unproductive, dependent welfare state because of her immigration policies. She cozied up to Putin for cheap energy and helped fuel the Russian War Machine. You can't be serious.
5:11 Oh boy, do I love this picture. It's so poetic. Merkel is standing amidst a group of men, yet she commands the scene with her dominant posture-leaning over the table with both hands firmly placed on it. Meanwhile, Trump sits in his chair with his arms crossed, almost like a pouting child. He probably felt emasculated in that moment. Merkel doesn’t just stand out because of her gender, but also because of her central position in the photo and the striking bright blue dress she’s wearing. She truly is a one-of-a-kind woman.
@@JCX-9many people miss her and many don’t in Germany. Why are people so full of hatred against migrants? You or your ancestors have all migrated at some point into the US. Migrants in Germany were welcomed out of a humanitarian crisis and Merkel acted out of her Christian believes. Many have integrated and make a valuable contribution to society in Germany. I really do not understand your point. Is this just to spit venom?
@ i am an emigrant myself but we came all vetted and entered US legally. we had to wait 5 months in another country while our immigration documents were processed. We also had to have job skills so we don’t become a burden on the country’s economy. Yet we had millions of migrants now just dumped into the country who are not vetted just climbed over the border. Our tax money is used to support them, they don’t bother to learn English so useless as a workforce although some are used in menial jobs at times. I have nothing against migrants but it has to be done with following the laws. And the country should only pick people that have skills and don’t have any criminal history like it used to be in the past. This nilly vanilly dumping of migrants into the country is not beneficial to the economy or the tax payers. The country will not benefit in the long run especially the European countries. You will lose your identity and unless you pick qualified skilled professionals that you let in, you’ll go down in a hand basket. Sad you can’t see it. It’s way different from country like US even. US is a young country and it’s a country of emigrants but emigrants that came here legally and could contribute to the economy and development, they had skills. This is not what is happening now. This migrant dumping is a Marxist way of destabilizing the country. If you are a leftist then i am probably wasting my time trying to explain anything to you.
@@JCX-9 you were talking to someone who spoke about Angela Merkel and said he must be a migrant in some kind of satirical way. Maybe I misunderstood you. I do not know about the situation in the US. I only think with the world getting less habitable we need to learn to deal with this problem without hatred and keep in mind the humanity of everyone without be taken for stupid obviously. Your newly incoming administration seems to enjoy drawing a picture of horror and planning the internment of migrants. Maybe this is just provocation and will not come true.But if their words are to be believed it seems that these people coming into power are racially motivated. This is just my impression and opinion. We will all see what happens. The wall was not build last time either…I am not a leftist or a rightist , I just like to use my own head and decide for my own thoughts. I think that this polarisation harms but don’t know the alternative. I don’t know what Karl Marx has to do with this .
@@JCX-9 I am also against illegal immigration and for a controlled process as a general rule but when you are fleeing from a war zone where your life is imminently at risk, it's still a different story - you don't have time for a bureaucratic lengthy process and frankly, when it's life or death job skills should be treated secondary.
Because she is a complete coward. She was used to getting her way over in Germany & Europe, bullying people, pushing people around. Suddenly Trump shows up. And she was not the top bully anymore. Suddenly she became very fragile and afraid. He broke her.
She has made mistakes, which she admitted to, but what she is saying in this interview is 100% truth and should be taken seriously! I don’t understand what those comments about “Muslim men entering Europe“ and “rapings have increased” has to do with what she is saying in this video!! Strangely, only men are commenting such bs, not women! I don’t know anyone ever being affected or impacted by this!
Merkel is the biggest failure of European politics of the oast 50 years. Her energy policies made Putin rich. Now you see what he did with that money. Under her leadership defence spending went to 1%. This also emboldened Putin. The judicial system and police are overwhelmed by immigration related crime. It turnes out that traumatised radical youth commits a lot if crime. She wont criticize Putin because that will open up a can of worms of the mistakes she makes.
The number of rapes in Germany has doubled since 2014! Merkel opened the borders in 2015, since then around 1.5 million Muslim men have entered the country! She shut down the nuclear power plants and made Germany's energy supply dependent on Putin. The digital infrastructure in Germany is lagging 10 years behind because Merkel didn't really care.
She isn't! What one policy did she do to change people's life in Germany during her 16 years? Do you know she opposed NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia in 2006? She is one of the leaders who appeased pootin.
Mexico exports more than 80 percent to USA.............Germany 10 percent of all exports to USA..............SO............Mexico has more reasons to fear US-tariffs!
I agree with you about Merkel being classy and diplomatic, but here in Europe we have long known that. She was respected as a strong and sensible leader.
I like your posts. I don't normally write in the comments section, how are you. but I think you deserve this compliment. I'll like to be your friend if you don't mind us be friends?
He makes me proud to be an American. He is not afraid to be curtailed by world leaders. He respects his country so much he is willing to stand for its interests.
Show respect is not a job. It's a message sent to those who surround you. This is the kind of relationship I want to build with you. Trump builds a confrontational relationship. So Putin does. No respect to is neigbour and then complaining about them joining NATO... Bullying and complaining about others' actions. Seem familiar? Good luck with your orange drama queen.

Eh, her immigration policy has pushed the largest economy in Europe to the right, and made them reliant on Russia with cheap gas. A full analysis is to early but I think history will not look fondly on her.
Mr. has not changed his personal views about Women in positions of Power; Angela Merkel not only was a Woman, but she was at the time the German Chancellor. Germany under her became the Economic Powerhouse of the EU. People in US. today are clearly divided Ideologically when it comes to Mr. Trump's Ultra Conservative Neo-Politics; for now, all the people can do is wait and see what he does and How he does it.
Germany became economic powerhouse under her rule? You are delusional. Germany is no longer the economic powerhouse it once used to be. It’s sad to watch the decline because of poor leadership all these years. Flooding the country with migrants was one of her destructive tactics amongst others. Horrible leader. Trump is respected worldwide by world leaders. Not surprised he didn’t give her the time of the day, she is so ignorant. Trump gets along with everyone so he must have a good reason to ignore her.

I love to hear intelligent conversations. Thank you!
And people (men) say Women are too emotinal 😂😂😂 Trump is extremely emotional...takes everything personal as if . Revenge revenge because someone hurt his feelings
He only has two emotions: rage and bliss.
As if the Democrat party hasn’t been trying to eliminate Trump from the equation since 2015……..
😮ŕubbish.
Trump is not emotional - he has no emotion, empathy, character, ethics or morals. He lacks every leadership trait and human trait we all would like to have in a President - or a neighbor.
He's a grown up baby
We all know nothing scares Donald Trump more than a strong, intelligent woman!
It is so rare to see an interviewer not interrupt. Thanks for that. It was so interesting to hear AM’s full answers. And what an impressive woman - her answers seemed so balanced which, sadly, is something that is quite out of style today.
I get the impression that Ms Merkle is not afraid of many things.
I heard one of the commentators saying that Putin actually only finally decided to invade Ukraine after Merkel was gone from the German government, as she was one of the very few politicians he considered worthy being cautious and not to mess with. Merkel certainly had a very good reputation here in Europe ( I am not German) and to me she was definitely a true statesman.
LOL Of course. I wonder how she would react if she were chancellor? Would she shake her finger?
You have got to be kidding. You think Merkel could do anything against Putin? The Germans may find out very soon what will happen if Trump withdraws from NATO or pressures the Germans to protect themselves. The likes of Merkel have made Germany vulnerable through an insane energy transition and reliance on Russia for oil and gas--now, they rely on the US. The German economy is stagnant with its industrial sector reliant of LNG from the US. They may lose VW. Merkel's policies on migration, energy, and Russia have been a disaster. Europe is in decline. The Us and China will dominate the world going forward.
Idk about that, I mean Crimea was also invaded during her leadership
@@TheRestnCat He would have chosen another strategy mayhap. Merkel was good about finding compromises and building alliances - it would have been much more difficult for him with her around.
Then, she grew up in Eastern Germany (which is the reason why her English is moderate - she learnt it late, but is said to speak a decent Russian) - she was more than familiar with his socialist shenanigans and did not buy any of it if it didn‘t suit her.
Even if she was a bit too pragmatic with respect to Russian gas, the initial idea over here was that in connecting with Russia instead of ostracising it, Russia might move more towards its European roots, away from the central Asian oligarchy ones.
Well, as we do know now, that failed as Putin was buying our European „kool-aid“ only as long as it suited _him_ .
Anyways, these two, as people, had next to no sympathy for each other. And it showed.
@@marge2548 She was the leader of Germany in easy times. I don't really see what merits she has for world democracy, but I see how devastating the consequences of her decisions are for Europe.

If not for Censor-Tube, i could prove to you she's on the same level as mustache man.
What you wanna know? Don’t overestimate her
It's not even half of the interview with her.
I am a German, and despite faults were being made during her administration (remember her ministers were often reaponsible for many of the mistakes and went against her advise), I sorely miss her political style and her demeanor. She is not a beer buddy person, but someone I would genuinly like to know and have meaningful conversations with.
She screwed your country hard.
Merkel is one of the puppets that flooded Germany and or the EU or Europe with INFERIOR "Replacements"
Same. She strikes me as the sort of friend who, once you’ve earned her trust, will be a remarkable friend!
Nobody is perfect (luckily) and politicians have to deal with the opposition so rarely do what they want. Just like Biden not all is good but take all the improvements you can. Rump however is only about him and his billionaire friends
She also told all NATO partners to never count on him honoring their mutual treaty. He told Turkey to go ahead and slaughter the Northern Alliance partners who helped America get Osama bin Laden...because they were Kurds. Allying with America is never wise if it is run by a Republican. France said no way would they help GW in his fake Iraq war that killed 5000 Americans, and 500,000 Iraqis for a carrier landing photo-op as a campaign tactic. Remember Freedom Fries. France called the fake Iraq war a military adventure. Reagan did the same thing in election season by invading Grenada. GHW invaded Iraq for his election season and boosted his favorability to 78% GOP loves to sacrifice vets for campaign tactics.
He is so disrespectful, and sexist
Angela Merkel is an Impressive and
Learned, Experienced and Seasoned Politician.
Incisive and intelligent. Someone who is truly comfortable with power and decision-making. No wonder Trump was intimidated by her.
Merkel is one of the puppets that flooded Germany and or the EU or Europe with INFERIOR "Replacements" So you're either a bot, a shill or a moron. Which is it?
He is too obviously mysogenistic. Can’t stand powerful, successful woman.
He is a psychopath, lacking refinement, manners, or cultural knowledge.
And is encouraging that among American men. It's going to be a bumpy 4 years. Hopefully less than 4 years.
He prefers only women young and pretty...
He feels diminished. As if we don’t know what he is: Crass, vulgar, sadistic and dumb.
@ I remember donOLD talking about his divorce from Ivana, saying he should not have let her work with one of his businesses. Sounds like he didn’t like that she was too good at her job. Oh ya, he paid her in dresses.
Hope she got very expensive ones.
Being the smallest man that ever lived, I’m sure he was/ is easily threatened.
Trump warned Germany about their Nord Stream 2 pipeline. He was right. He criticized Germany for their lack of defense spending. He was right about that also.
@@sausagesausagesausage Yep, he was, and I grant him that - even if he was rarely the only one to have said it.
However: The way he went on about the issue in his Trumpish way, even if it DID shake up us complacent Europeans a little, weakened NATO‘s reputation in such a severe way that with that he enabled Putin to invade Ukraine later on.
Second, he started to transfer a lot of US troops from Germany to Poland because Poland was cheaper and highly compliant with his demands since they wanted more protection from Russia. They were, I guess, also less whiny and less demanding than German officials.
All valid points. Only that there had been an unofficial agreement that there would be no significant US troops in former communist countries.
Ignoring that, bringing troops closer to the Russian border, gave Putin - in Russia - an excuse and an explanation for his people as for why it might be sensible to view NATO and enemies again. This also contributed to war in Ukraine, later.
Trump has a sound idea of wins and losses, but as Merkel also said here: He will always settle with the short-term solution.
He was dealing budget. He completely omitted geopolitical strategy. It won him money, but on the long run, it cost us all much more.
@@marge2548 I mean they should have just listened to him, what exactly did trump do to NATO? Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge, you know right? In fact Obama transferred the largest number of troops to Poland, not Trump. Also it's not wrong to keep US interests first
@@rockstar4127 I mean, they did listen, and sped up their payments. However, only 16% of the current NATO budget is payed by the US.
All this lamenting about "Oh, the US spend so much of their GDP on the military and all the European countries don't" fails to take into account that the US military is engaged worldwide, while the NATO is a regional organisation covering the North Atlantic and the bordering countries (aka the USA, Canada and Western Europe).
Of the real NATO costs, as of 2024, the USA covers 16%, Germany, with their poor share of GDP covers 16%, the UK 11% and France 10%, and the rest is the rest) - which means: Only a minimum of the vast amount the US spend on their military even goes into NATO. So it is not the NATO costs that blow the military costs up out of all proportion.
"US interests first" is of course good for the US. Failing to see when the interests of others might on the long run also benefit the US is good for no one.
US troops in Poland Obama vs. Trump: You got me there... It was a huge thing in German media when Trump publicly announced in 2017 that he would give Poland more troops (relocate them from Germany) since Poland needed them against Russia and Germany was "lazy" (to sum it up). Obamas decisions were covered a bit more matter of factly, so like everything Trump undertakes, he made it feel and look bigger than it might have actually been. And I fell for it. ;) - So, sorry for that one, but that had left a lasting impression on me.
@@marge2548 Putin had already invaded Ukraine in 2014, violating the Budapest Memorandum. They don't need an excuse. And what was the German response? Buy more gas, and continue under funding their defense. Now they have reversed that decision after Putin inevitably invaded again, cancelling NS2 and increasing defense spending. They made the most short sighted decisions possible. They didn't make the "ethical" stance when it was necessary in 2014, they didn't make the defensive decision when it was necessary in 2014, they made the economic decision of low defense and cheap energy. Of course they reversed that now because the Germans are decent people so they have not even benefited economically.

Oh boy, do I love this picture. It's so poetic. Merkel is standing amidst a group of men, yet she commands the scene with her dominant posture-leaning over the table with both hands firmly placed on it. Meanwhile, Trump sits in his chair with his arms crossed, almost like a pouting child. He probably felt emasculated in that moment. Merkel doesn’t just stand out because of her gender, but also because of her central position in the photo and the striking bright blue dress she’s wearing. She truly is a one-of-a-kind woman.

Words are not enough to express how much I miss Angela Merkel :)
You must be one of them migrants in Germany. 😂😂😂
@@JCX-9many people miss her and many don’t in Germany. Why are people so full of hatred against migrants? You or your ancestors have all migrated at some point into the US. Migrants in Germany were welcomed out of a humanitarian crisis and Merkel acted out of her Christian believes. Many have integrated and make a valuable contribution to society in Germany. I really do not understand your point. Is this just to spit venom?
@ i am an emigrant myself but we came all vetted and entered US legally. we had to wait 5 months in another country while our immigration documents were processed. We also had to have job skills so we don’t become a burden on the country’s economy. Yet we had millions of migrants now just dumped into the country who are not vetted just climbed over the border. Our tax money is used to support them, they don’t bother to learn English so useless as a workforce although some are used in menial jobs at times. I have nothing against migrants but it has to be done with following the laws. And the country should only pick people that have skills and don’t have any criminal history like it used to be in the past. This nilly vanilly dumping of migrants into the country is not beneficial to the economy or the tax payers.
The country will not benefit in the long run especially the European countries. You will lose your identity and unless you pick qualified skilled professionals that you let in, you’ll go down in a hand basket.
Sad you can’t see it. It’s way different from country like US even. US is a young country and it’s a country of emigrants but emigrants that came here legally and could contribute to the economy and development, they had skills. This is not what is happening now. This migrant dumping is a Marxist way of destabilizing the country. If you are a leftist then i am probably wasting my time trying to explain anything to you.
@@JCX-9 you were talking to someone who spoke about Angela Merkel and said he must be a migrant in some kind of satirical way. Maybe I misunderstood you. I do not know about the situation in the US. I only think with the world getting less habitable we need to learn to deal with this problem without hatred and keep in mind the humanity of everyone without be taken for stupid obviously. Your newly incoming administration seems to enjoy drawing a picture of horror and planning the internment of migrants. Maybe this is just provocation and will not come true.But if their words are to be believed it seems that these people coming into power are racially motivated. This is just my impression and opinion. We will all see what happens. The wall was not build last time either…I am not a leftist or a rightist , I just like to use my own head and decide for my own thoughts. I think that this polarisation harms but don’t know the alternative. I don’t know what Karl Marx has to do with this .
@@JCX-9 I am also against illegal immigration and for a controlled process as a general rule but when you are fleeing from a war zone where your life is imminently at risk, it's still a different story - you don't have time for a bureaucratic lengthy process and frankly, when it's life or death job skills should be treated secondary.

Mr. has not changed his personal views about Women in positions of Power; Angela Merkel not only was a Woman, but she was at the time the German Chancellor.

People in US. today are clearly divided Ideologically when it comes to Mr. Trump's Ultra Conservative Neo-Politics; for now, all the people can do is wait and see what he does and How he does it.
Germany became economic powerhouse under her rule? You are delusional. Germany is no longer the economic powerhouse it once used to be. It’s sad to watch the decline because of poor leadership all these years. Flooding the country with migrants was one of her destructive tactics amongst others. Horrible leader. Trump is respected worldwide by world leaders. Not surprised he didn’t give her the time of the day, she is so ignorant. Trump gets along with everyone so he must have a good reason to ignore her.

You clearly don’t live in Germany
@@paulnewsome6289“Schweinehund“ :)
Silence is golden
I would have thought that a 16 years Bundeskanzler would speak English confidently enough to reply in English. However, having grown up in East Germany, she was taught Russian as a second language, and she might not have been taught English at all. She has held speeches in English, but it may be another matter being interviewed, and having to reply in English then and there.
@@jensc73 That‘s exactly the point. She learnt English only later in life and might not feel confident enough to give a fluent talk with the accuracy the occasion required.
There is nothing wrong with that, imho.
Fun fact; she's *HATED* in Germany, because of her domestic policies!
Her domestic policies were really bad!
@@janjan55555 She’s hated by some and respected and appreciated by others. As is Trump. As is Biden.
She made mistakes. She owned them more than most other political leaders I know.
Apart from that Germany still is a federal republic so it‘s moot to blame a single person for everything that went wrong.
Great interview

It's a scam.
Nice to hear a rational, sober, accurate synopsis from a politician.
Truly a magnificent woman and leader in so many ways. She is accomplished inside and out.
She's wrong about Trump. He does not think about the American citizen. He thinks about what's best for him, money wise.
They just looks like real brother-sister each other !!!!!
Both Germans, from different backgrounds.
Hopefully Trump stops these 2 crazy wars and not cause anymore.
With Elon and Trump now working with Quarden Token is going to absolutely blow up

Scam
Doing Putin's bidding.
@GM-cq6ez For an American hating leftist, a very SMART comment. Lol. Maybe try thinking for yourself?
Why can't we elect physicists instead of tv personalities in the US?
He didn’t even look at her; she is a woman that was leading a country, he had to “put her in her place”😕
She was certainly a better leader than trump ever will be
Shaking hands with someone you meet is taught in kindergarten… the one in office might have forgotten about that.
He was taught to be the worst example of a human.
He's embarrassed by his tiny hands which are the same size as Merkel's who is a woman. He uses women's balls when bowling. Merkel's balls scared him.
Go ask lots of Germans what they think.
Germany needs a resolute leader like her again. You may disagree with some of her actions and opinions but at least she took action and had opinions!
danke Merkel
This woman destroyed Europe as we know it
Europe is actually quite ok… where are you from?
@ hahahahah yeah sure, wait 10 years when the Muslims start rioting and imposing sharia law
@@zachdawson6052 That‘s complete and utter nonsense.

@@ZofiaSheffield just like the Russian collusion delusion right? LOL
Oh no, the demented hyper corrupt narcissist working together with the crazy super corrupt megalomaniac didn't result in diligent and clean governance
I'm shocked
Scam
Quarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
Yeah, prison sentences for those behind the scam.
Paid for by the other psycho: Elon Musk.
A true leader.. so rare
TRUMP IS🎉
