On Thursday, nearly nine years later, a still exceptionally popular but now former President Barack Obama again traveled to Germany, and in a different forum, sat with their Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and talked to tens of thousands of cheering and adoring fans yet again.

"In this new world we live in, we can’t isolate ourselves — we can’t hide behind a wall,” Obama told the 70,000 people, according to USA Today, who came to Berlin's famous Brandenburg Gate to hear him speak.
“In the eyes of God the child on the other side of the border deserves no less love and compassion than my own," said Obama, clearly taking a subtle swing at President Donald Trump's efforts to isolate America and build a wall on the nation's southern border with Mexico.
"We can't distinguish between them, in terms of their worth and their inherent dignity," he added, to cheers and applause. "And that they're deserving of shelter, and love, and education, and opportunity."
