Yesterday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that Trump is being ‘humiliated’ by Iran, claiming he was unprepared for the strength of the regime and has no clear exit strategy.
Via CNN:
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz tore into Washington on Monday, warning the Trump administration is being played and “humiliated” by the regime in Tehran and lacks a clear strategy to end the conflict.
Speaking during a school visit in his home region in western Germany, Merz said the U.S. had misjudged the Iranian regime and entered the war without a clear exit plan.
“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either,” Merz said, according to German Press Agency dpa. “A whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership.”
The U.S. “quite obviously went into this war without any strategy,” Merz said, warning that the conflict could degenerate into a quagmire like U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A few minutes ago President Trump responded, and honestly held his tongue a bit more than I expected:
The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago. No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise! President DONALD J. TRUMP
To be honest, I’m kinda wondering what the exit strategy is myself, especially if we aren’t going to kill the remianing regime leaders. However, I’m not like Merz is here, because everyone should know by now it’s a mistake to underestimate President Trump.
