I don’t think that Trump understands the role that he is about to take on. I think that he is going to be baffled.Imagine what is going to happen when he has to sit down and talk to Angela Merkel about issues.

Now it’s like, I don’t know, it couldn’t have happened at a worse time with everything else that is going on around the world.
