Germany’s Chancellor Merz tries to suck up to Trump – Points out that he is ethnically German by race and insinuates where his loyalty should lie in a meeting about Russia

Published June 6, 2025 | By NewsJive.com

Germany’s Chancellor and BlackRock-affiliated heavyweight, Friedrich Merz, is visiting the United States for a meeting with Donald Trump, where the discussions are focused on the war in Ukraine and how to deal with Russia.

Germany has taken an increasingly assertive role in escalating the conflict with Russia through military means, while the US has adopted a more passive stance under Trump’s administration.

This has led European leaders like Merz to seek a renewed alignment with the US in the proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine conflict.

During the meeting, Merz suddenly presented a large, ornate golden frame as a gift to Trump, which is said to contain the birth certificate of Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump.

A proud Merz emphasized in front of the cameras that Trump’s grandfather originally came from Germany in the 19th century, before migrating to the United States like many other Germans.

And with this spectacle, he was clearly trying to point out to a pleased Trump his true racial origin as a person of German descent.

A statement that may seem odd coming from a globalist and liberal figure like Merz, whose ideological stance for decades has emphasized that ethnic origin is unimportant, that only racists focus on issues of race, and that anyone who immigrates to Europe can be considered European.
