    I love that Republicans keep trying to get a statue of Reagan in Berlin but no one gives a shit about the “Mr. Gorbechov, Tear down this wall!” speech, which was in English and really aimed at U.S. viewers.

    Germany always politely declined to put a statue up for some minor speech so Trump, in his tackiness, put a statue at the US Embassy. Angela Merkel responded by thanking George HW Bush for supporting reunification.
