The result? Zero ROI. Despite the groveling and the desperate attempts to buy a seat at the adult table, the reality is clear: Trump has already moved on. While Merz was busy waving birth certificates and Weimers was signaling his loyalty in Brussels, they were being planned out of the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Total Loss of Dignity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just a failure of diplomacy; it\u2019s a total loss of dignity. Merz and Weimers didn\u2019t lead; they followed. They didn\u2019t negotiate; they begged.

Instead, it has bought them irrelevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternativet fr\u00e5n AfI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternative for Immigrants (AfI) is the only movement that refuses to crawl. We don\u2019t invest in dying empires, and we don\u2019t seek approval from foreign billionaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the traditional leaders of Europe scramble to find a new master to serve, we are focused on building a future that belongs to us.
