Well, the “shadow government” part is, of course, only the figment of the frenzied Trumpian imagination, but President Obama is meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel next month in Germany, according to Politico.
Former President Barack Obama plans to reemerge on the international stage in late May, sitting down with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in her home country for a panel discussion about democracy.
The panel, part of a 500–year anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, is titled “Being Involved in Democracy: Taking on Responsibility Locally and Globally.”
The visit will coincide with the beginning of President Donald Trump’s summer tour of Europe. Trump, who once called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization “obsolete,” is scheduled to appear at a NATO leaders’ summit in Brussels the same day — May 25.
In a press release, Bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, the chair of the Evangelical Church in Germany, said he extended an invitation to Obama in May 2016 to visit Germany for the Reformation anniversary.
Now, of course, this is an appropriate event for an ex-American President.
Nothing wrong with a little trolling on the side, though.
I love it when my President does that trolling thing! *swoon*
(h/t JMG and JMG commenter Boreal for mentioning the “shadow government” thing...although it did occur to me when I first read this headline.)
