• May reminds me a little of Merkel and her handling of the financial crisis. To me it seemed as though she was desperate just to make as little a splash as possible and to hold on to power for herself and her party, while others applauded her ‘masterful gamesmanship’ even as the southern countries went to hell. I’m sure @Oliver Schick will tell me I’m misremembering my misperception...

    (The best take I’ve heard recently on Trump is that he will never go to jail because he’s a rich white man, which is right on the money sadly.)

  • I didn't really follow the financial crisis in Germany. I think there was a general message that Germany was less affected as German banks were less exposed, but I really don't have any clear idea.
