A difficult choice, either you elect a former lawyer or a convicted criminal who has led several companies into bankruptcy, recommended that you should inject yourself with disinfectant, against Corona and whose former employees call him a fascist and liar, among other things...

@PowerWordChill people vote differently in the USA. It works, as you can see from our finance minister. And we can also cope with Schlumpf's memory lapses.

@Reinecke I agree, we often focus too much on others. And we're not role models ourselves😂

@Therapeut Everything exists relative to each other and in a spectrum. Just because not all of our personnel are flawless doesn't mean that everything is bad.

That's just typical whataboutism.
If I ask you not to burn car tires in the garden and you counter by saying that you drive a car with a broken catalytic converter, then
A: both are true
B: both are bad
But
C: both can be bad in different degrees

Thought experiments:
Imagine a person who is maximally unsuitable for a presidential office.
What qualities would this person have?

And then look at Trump.

Markus Söder would probably do even better, albeit narrowly.
🤣

@PowerWordChill Opinions or not.
I celebrate Trump.
Trump stands for
1. economic growth
2. strengthening national security
3. tax reforms
4. trade policy and "America First"
5. strengthening conservative values
6. economic relief for the middle class
7. rejection of excessive bureaucracy
8. strong foreign policy
9. direct communication

@Therapeut reads like the election program of any X-any autocrat. I bet Hitler's / Putin's / Orban's election program looked exactly the same 😅

You also forgot to mention the abolition of independent democratic institutions

@Therapeut Do you believe those lies about Trump you listed?

Why are you against democracy? The rule of law? Women's rights? Open-mindedness and tolerance regardless of nationality and sexual orientation? Scientific rigor? Social policy that holds the top 0.1% more accountable in order to offer the 99.9% more social justice.

@ad_absurdum yes, I agree that "you shall judge them by their deeds"

@Therapeut as an example:
5. strengthening conservative values
The guy had sex with a porn star while he was married.

Why should anyone believe a word he says. You could fill books with the demonstrable lies he told.

@PowerWordChill Bill Clinton got a blow job from the intern in his office. How much more can you drag the office into the mud? It's also not about what Trump means for the Germans, he would be the US president and the Americans were doing quite well under Trump.

@Reinecke I didn't claim that Clinton is committed to "strengthening conservative values".

Besides, how do you know that the Americans will be better off under Trump? What do you base this statement on?

All the information we have tends to show that Trump is a security risk. (For us and for the USA)

@PowerWordChill I found it quite chilled under Trump.
