It’s no use talking with Trump, you can talk with him behind closed doors or in front of a camera; he’s a dictator and you can’t win. I would have never gone there; let diplomats on a lower level do the lobbying.

Exactly. I don’t like Merz, but it’s absolutely pointless trying to grandstand against him in public will only make you a target. Trump has the maturity of a toddler so best you can do is nod and smile in public … and then try to talk to the adults in the backroom.

Have you looked at the “adults” in the backroom in the US recently?

Yes, it’s not great. But still worlds better than Trump in public.

Different degrees of full of themselves and stupid on top vs. outright demented megalomaniac moron.

It’s like jumping into a cesspit in order to fish for your favourite turd.
