Explosive narcissism and vulgar capitalism: It is impossible to engage in politics with this U.S. president. Europe should resist the temptation to fixate on Donald Trump and instead pursue its own goals. That’s the lesson of a deeply disorienting week.

Angela Merkel announced that in calm diplomatic terms as early as last spring. And she is not one to just utter something and then send her people scrambling to implement a solution, she obviously has plans and negotiations in place.
