German is receiving 2 million migrants in a country of 80 million; we're receiving 10,000 in a country of 330 million. What's that, 800x the migrant numbers as the U.S.? So not even in the same universe of comparison. The U.S. would have to receive 9 million refugees to have an equivalent situation.
And Merkel is quite popular in Germany, and would be elected today still, despite those millions of refugees, and despite the fact that Germany isn't a multiethnic society analogous to the U.S. Apparently they have fewer dummies. She's only unpopular in the poor/backward East, which doesn't get many immigrants and has many elderly bigots nostalgic for Communism.
Trump is the textbook definition of a racist. There is no debating this. His entire campaign platform is based on bigotry. Banning religions, walling off neighbors, abandoning allies, insulting minorities, spreading hate speech. If he isn't a racist, no one is.
If I'm "out of touch" with some of my [[uneducated, male, white) fellow Americans because I refuse to demonize Mexicans or insult women or threaten our allies, I'm fine with that label.
Can you explain how Trump would aid in "health and safety"? The U.S. has never been healthier and safer than right now, and Trump has never, not for a second, mentioned any coherent ideas about "health and safety". He loves Putin and other violent despots, wants to eliminate health insurance for millions, supports global nuclear proliferation and wants more guns, everywhere.
