    They’ve left dual citizenship and the five year normal path to citizenship intact… for now.

      Too stupid to be like Trump. You’ve got to be Merz for that. TBF he might be just too stiff and socially inept to be a good copy, but still: who in the world might want to imitate Trump except comedians and Merz?

        We could argue which of the two is the bigger asshole, but I would definitely say Trump is the bigger idiot. Maybe I’m a bit too influenced in this decision by his incoherent speeches though, which is currently more an Alzheimer thing, but I have never heard any old recordings that were much better. Merz can speak and cover his lies much better.
