Merkel’s evident anti-Americanism is a familiar refrain.
This
is from National Review and, like all of Hanson's articles, well worth
the time to read it (it's not short!). It describes, at the beginning,

Trump either. Well, poo on her!

remembering predicting to Jonathan (my eldest son) in 1989, when the
wall fell and Germany was reunified, that within a generation it would
begin showing its strength again. It's been one and a half generations,
with a generation being counted as twenty years, and Germany is the
economic powerhouse of Europe and is the big stick behind the EU. Add
military strength; and voila, repeat and rinse history.
One huge clue to the current German disposition is this: As Hanson notes, Merkel grew
up in Communist East Germany. Totalitarianism, as you know, was baked
into the political cake. She is only revealing her Stasi leanings;
leanings that are not so different than fascism.
