Come to think of it: is there a single world leader that Merkel got along with?
She didn’t get along with Sarkozy or Hollande. She famously didn’t get along with Putin even though he was a Germanophile and the countries were friendly at the time. As said, she and Obama didn’t get along. I don’t recall her being on bad terms with Cameron, but not really good terms either.
So incredibly tiresome.
Trump won. You don’t have to speak like this any more. You don’t have to say Africa is the future of the world. Stop playing these silly games.
@pegobry_en Politically he was a patriot and a liberal but not a diehard. He was not enthused at all by the way Rome was annexed to Italy after French defeat and he sincerely mourned pope Pius IX's death
@pegobry_en I just find the take on aristocrats' servants slightly naive, of course they would develop a loyalty towards their masters. It is like reading The Remains of the Day and thinking that Nazism was good because the lord of the house was idolised by the narrator
