The collapse of Germany's government will delight Trump and his European friends | Paul Taylor
Briefly

"Germany's traffic-light coalition of social democrats, market liberals and greens collapsed. It could hardly have come at a worse time, leaving a political vacuum just when the EU needs decisive leadership."
"The breakdown of the Berlin alliance will leave Germany facing months of introspective electioneering, followed by protracted coalition negotiations, with investment and public spending on hold."
"The government even revived border checks within the European Schengen zone in a panicked reaction after a migrant stabbed three people to death, indicating a fear-driven shift in policy."
"Populist, Eurosceptic anti-immigration parties are gaining ground, with the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland and a new leftist movement polling at about 25%, showcasing a fragmented political spectrum."
