    Default Merkel Could Join Macron In Davos For Epic Clash With Trump

    January 14, 2018
    By Noah Barkin
    BERLIN (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel is considering joining French President Emmanuel Macron at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week in what could turn into an epic clash of competing world views with U.S. President Donald Trump.
    Merkel, who has been struggling to put together a government since a German election in September, had been expected to skip the annual gathering of leaders, CEOs, bankers and celebrities in the Swiss Alps for a third straight year.
    But after clinching a preliminary coalition agreement with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) on Friday, German officials said Merkel could travel to Davos after all, possibly setting up a major confrontation with Trump, who is expected to speak on the final day of the forum.

    So if Acron doesn't have a spine, and Merkel doesn't have a spine, how many spines does Donald face?

    The architect of the decline of Germany Merkel has been losing support for quite awhile now. Whatever that moron had to say I'd turn the other direction.

    And France... pfft... they only thing they're good at is SURRENDERING.

    I was more looking at the humor in the situation. You got two, Euro-PC wimps and they're going to sell Trump on their socialist viewpoint? And the writer makes it sound like they are on equal footing and have a chance
