    The group Avaaz built the cardboard-block wall Friday at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, not far from the spot where former President Ronald Reagan once famously called for Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”

    The ersatz wall carried an image of Trump and the message: “United to Stop Trump.”

    Campaigner Meredith Alexander called Americans abroad the “secret swing state” and says her group is trying to ensure all eligible voters get and file their absentee ballots.

    She says “there about 8 million of us who live oversees,” but in the last election only 12 percent voted.

    You’d think that everything is so hunky-dory in their accursed Germany with the problems from their new refugee guests that they have to stick their noses into American politics.
