and it wasn't long ago people in here swore she was the defacto leader of the entire free world. her stance on immigration was spot on and oh, she dis'd trump. she had it all.

ANNABERG-BUCHHOLZ, Germany (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel was greeted with shouts of "traitor" by a rowdy group of right-wing protesters in east Germany on Thursday as she defended her decision to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees into the country.
Roughly five weeks before an election in which she is expected to win a record-tying fourth term, Merkel veered from her stump speech, acknowledging "difficult times" in 2015 when a flood of asylum seekers, many from the Middle East, entered Germany.
It was her first campaign stop in eastern Germany, parts of which have been fertile ground for anti-immigration politics.
