Must have been an "awkward" moment for Angela Merkel to sit in ceremony as the Allies commemorated D-Day that broke the back of Nazi Germany. https://t.co/pnNGCoD3B0

Or, it shows how far we have come. Once our enemy, now one of our strongest allies. Chancellor Merkel represents freedom, and does it with grace & class. I wish we could say the same about our leader, instead of the international embarrassment that he is.

How blind to one's self can the elected leader of a former slave state be to get snarky about someone else being the elected leader of a former fascist nation?

Huckabee and his kind just can*not* see themselves when they look in a mirror.

Trump described white nationalists as “very fine people” and is currently keeping migrant children in detention camps and taking a way their legal rights whilst several have died in custody. Merkel happened to have grown up in Germany. It’s should only be awkward for one of them. https://t.co/3L1G7A0jB5

This seems to sum it up rather well.

You are such a pathetic sad little man. She stands tall for freedom, unlike the whining draft dodging dictator loving coward you worship.
