German Chancellor Angela Merkel took advantage of her stage time at Harvard University’s commencement Thursday to deliver a thinly-veiled diatribe against President Donald Trump.

According to Politico, she urged the graduates to  “tear down walls of ignorance and narrow-mindedness.” She encouraged a “global” way of thinking, adding that “protectionism and trade conflicts jeopardize free international trade and therefore the very foundations of our prosperity.”

Meanwhile, Trump was giving his own commencement speech at the Air Force Academy, during which he touted his “America first” philosophy.

  1. I can see Trump ranting about not being invited to Harvard and calling Merkel names in a few hours.

  2. Thanks for inviting her to give the address, Harvard. It’s good to see the leader of the free world being given an opportunity to speak in America.

  3. Ignorant and narrow-minded: That’s Donnie, for sure! No daylight there!

  4. This is tangential…

    Trump was asked about Impeachment and actually said that the “courts wouldn’t allow it”.

    Trump is truly a mob boss.

    And an ignorant one at that. He has had months and months to get the same understanding of the Impeachment process as a junior in High School (like I did).

    He has lawyers who surely can explain it to him.

    This tells me that the people around him are zookeepers and that Trump is far more reactive and doing Putin’s directives by rote than most people think.

  5. Sour grapes on Donnie Two-scoops’ part.

    He was already busy in Colorado Springs giving a commencement address at one of the handful of places that will have him: the service academies (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard), Bob Jones “U”, and Falwell’s Liberty “U”. Can anyone think of another?
