Professor Robert MacCulloch: Former Chancellor Merkel insults Trump....


No wonder Germany has failed: former Chancellor Merkel insults Trump and at the same time reveals she doesn't know what is a property developer.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has written a book full of insults about incoming US President Trump. You'd think, given the weakness of Germany's economy and military, that its not in the best interests of the nation to attack America's new leader. What's amusing about her book is the line that Trump “looked at everything like the real estate developer he was before he entered politics” - as a zero-sum game. “For him, all countries were rivals in which the success of one meant the failure of another. He didn’t think that prosperity could be increased for all through cooperation.” Which only goes to show that Merkel doesn't know what property developers do. That is, construct new buildings, renovate old ones and sell, lease and rent those buildings.
