I wouldn't worry about Trump. America didn't change overnight you know. Trump's success reflects long standing issues in American politics and the country working through them, but Germany is experiencing its own version of similar problems and its own politics is if anything even more dysfunctional - Merkel's attempts to cobble together a government out of the far left and libertarians, in a desperate attempt to avoid engaging with AfD voters, is in many ways even more ridiculous a sight than President Twitter.
