Check out the latest German polling

CDU 29%

AfD 23%

SPD 15%

Green 13%

It's going to hard for CDU to resist a coalition with AfD, especially after the vote yesterday. Looks like major tectonic shift.

Trump is first and foremost a businessman, and consequently his approach to problem solving is to make deals. And his deals almost always result in win-win situations in which both parties prosper. As an example, Trump's interest in Greenland will likely result in a deal that ultimately benefits the Inuits of Greenland, Denmark, and the US (all if which will become evident after the smoke clears). This deal is happening because Denmark allowed an underperforming asset to languish, in which not even the Danes benefitted. Corporate takeovers often occur when current management becomes stale, hidebound, and lazy. Ditto for Russia. If they work with Trump, he will help reopen the EU market to Russian energy supplies; which is an economic win for the EU countries and actually delivers the European security architecture that Russia covets. Trump is thinking outside the box. He is the true game changer.
