Trump has more sense and great statesmanship in his pinky finger than Merkel has in her entire administration. The whole of the European disaster can be laid at the hoggish feet of mein führer. Hats off to Harvard for continuing in the decades long destruction of the once great system of American university education.
Merkel attacks Trump’s unilateral world view in Harvard speech
Bloomberg June 1, 2019:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel took aim at Donald Trump’s world view in a speech on U.S. soil, saying unilateralism risks bringing down post-World War II alliances and trade wars threaten the “foundations of our prosperity.”
The foundations of Germany (and Europe’s) prosperity is the Marshall Plan.

“More than ever, our way of thinking and actions have to be multilateral rather than unilateral,” Merkel said in a commencement speech to Harvard University’s class of 2019 that combined tough criticism of nationalist policies with philosophical vistas of a change for the better.
Merkel, 64, was addressing a receptive audience on Thursday as she seeks halt a deterioration in the trans-Atlantic alliance under Trump’s presidency. In her 14th year in office, officials in Merkel’s government are beginning to speak of a point of no return in U.S.-German relations.
At times, Merkel drew applause from the crowd by seeming to address the U.S. leader directly, urging graduates not to act “first impulses” or to brandish “lies as truth and truth as lies.”
Some 2,000 miles to the west, Trump reprised his America First doctrine in a speech to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, saying the U.S. won’t sacrifice its interests for those of foreign powers.
“We don’t do that anymore,” Trump told graduates. “In all things and ways we are putting America first. and it’s about time.”

Merkel, Germany’s first female chancellor, drew from her own biography as the daughter of a pastor who grew up in East Germany and rose from political obscurity after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and German reunification in 1990 to the country’s highest elected office.
Merkel joins a list of prominent commencement speakers in recent years, from Facebook Inc. co-founder and Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg to “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and television host Oprah Winfrey. Last year’s address was given by U.S. civil rights pioneer and U.S. representative John Lewis.
Merkel is the first German leader to give an address at Harvard since 1990, when former Chancellor Helmut Kohl delivered it the year of German reunification.

Most voted “commentary” below Merkel’s “speech” in Anti-German state
news reads: “Who would have thought that a German Chancellor would
stand 32 years after Reagan in America to tell them that they should tear
down walls?” https://anon.to/tiyUVr As I said: the dumber, the more “votes”!
Merkel should have stayed behind thick walls & barbed wire,
that wouldn’t have been so destructive for the West. The stu-
pid cow is of course not a subject acting independently, but
only the perfect instrument of completely different interests.

That picture is very discouraging. Such adoration shown. After all that has happened to that country.
I hope one day that some who have the academic ability and the physical energy will look at these universities. Do not our taxes help sustain these places? So why is the conservative voice never heard.
People don’t care, otherwise there should have been peaceful, lawfully registered protests from some indicating that they do not agree with this woman.

I absolutely despise THIS EVIL WOMAN. She is destroying Europe. Countless people have been murdered and and raped by Muslims and she can’t get enough of these savages in the EU. She is EVIL to her core.

Merkel has to shut up. She is meddling in US Politics and is the Person who, together with Soros & Co.,ruthlessly
abandons Germany and Europe by importing masses of never adapting, backward orientated Civilizations.
And now such negative “responsability” has been “awarded” by some enemy-circles within the US, with a laughable “Dr.h.c.”! Many lawyers in Germany are trying to bring her to court – those “Merkel-loving” people don’t have any idea of what’s going on in Germany.
Today, over 60% of Germans want her to go. She is acting against them.

She doesn’t care. She is not running again so now she is unplugged.
She HATES Trump and all he stands for and is doing.
Leave it to Harvard to invite a Muslim loving Communist that hates the white German people.
Someday… she will rest in torment with Hitler for what she is doing.

How did this Nazi-Communist sneak into the so-called ‘Conservative’ party and get away with opening the floodgates to rapists/terrorists from Muslim/African nations?
She has real mental issues. A number of years ago she claimed that Muslims were a problem and then soon after she let millions of them enter. I’m surprised she hasn’t been impeached already.

Also, Marxist Obama in Brazil poking fun at the US constitution; the timing smells of globalist collusion to destroy the US nationalist movement.

not only is there no more democracy or freedoms in these so called nations, now islamic sewers, but there seem to be no laws for these islamic maggots either!

Merkel and her pet president obama enforced a long-standing though severely escalated virtual, updated, misplaced “Treaty of Versailles” against the United States, which at least she should have learned from History inevitably results in a dangerous backlash.

While Fuhrer Merkel’s world view of importing murderous islamic mozzlems by the millions dooms the entire world….I will take Mr Trump’s world view, thank you very much….
