Germany Should Have Listened to Trump – WSJ

The most bitter pill of all for Germany s establishment may be the realization that on the most important issues facing Germany, Donald Trump was right where they were wrong. Getting in bed with Vladimir Putin for cheap energy was both foolish and deeply disloyal to the West. German defense policy was self-defeating and dangerous. China wasn t a reliable partner.

Ich bin ein Berliner, was President John F. Kennedy s message to Germany. If Donald Trump returns to the White House, his message will likely be Das habe ich gleich gesagt, or I told you so.
