In the midst of railing against a migrant caravan headed to the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump campaign adviser Lara Trump threw in her two cents on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s 2015 decision to admit refugees into the country during a Thursday interview with Fox Business host Stuart Varney.
Trump said that Merkel’s decision “was the downfall of Germany,” in response to Varney saying that the migrant caravan clip reminded him of “a march across Europe by a million people who wanted to get into Western Europe” and how Merkel “let them in.”
‘It was one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany,” Trump said. “This President knows that, he’s trying to prevent that from happening here, but Congress has got to get their act together and do the right thing for the American people.”

During the 2016 election cycle, President Donald Trump criticized Merkel’s immigration policies, which included accepting more than 1 million refugees in 2015 after major conflicts in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.
Thank you for your keen insights, Mrs. Drumpf. (Apparently that needs a snark tag, so here it is)
Who asked for her damn opinion on immigration?
NO FUCKING BODY!
Why is this person talking? And why is anyone interviewing her?
It’s now Trump’s News.
like, worse than Hitler? worse than the Nazis? worse than WWII? What a clueless idiot.
