Well, certainly not thrilled about the prospect of Merz, then. Hopefully this position ends up shared amongst the other candidates, though.

He also said the other day he’d do deals with Trump. Whatever those are supposed to be.

tbf, everyone is saying that, in part because "One of the biggest nations in the world just elected a moron we can't work with" is considered undiplomatic, whereas "we'll do deals" gives the illusion of hope and an out if Trump demands something ridiculous (as he inevitably will).
