How can a normal rational person find Trump better than European politicians? I'm really the last person to defend or approve of our dear statesmen, but think Trump is better? You can't be serious.

@CMustermann I'm afraid he's serious. 😎

@CMustermann I can see the criticisms of Trump, but he is better than his reputation. I don't think I see Trump in such a positive light, I just see the Europeans in a much more negative light.

Reagan, Clinton and Nixon were not that much more presentable than Trump. On the other hand, the difference between Merz and Adenauer, Starmer and Thatcher or Macron and Mitterand is so great that it can only be measured in units of astrophysics.

What exactly do the European statesmen have over him?

@Maverick4831 Our chancellor was not on Epstein's plane.

Nor did our Europeans cuddle up to the greatest war criminal of modern times (apart from a few nutcases from the East).

Finally, we are not throwing the painstakingly built transatlantic trade relations and mutually low tariffs overboard just to justify some populist nonsense (abolishing tax through tariffs - that this won't work is first semester business studies).

I can think of a few more. Everyone here on the platform should have an interest in this guy being gone quickly.

@CMustermann our chancellor has "forgotten" the cum-cum/cum-ex affair.

Which biggest war criminal do you mean? Netanyahu, to whom Germany continues to supply weapons because he does the "quote: dirty work" for us.

The Habdels relations were more advantageous for the Europeans (just as we rested on the military strength of the USA). He does a lot of things right and the Europeans don't like it.

@CMustermann Thank you. That went through my head too...
@CMustermann You can ask Novartis, Roche and other companies why they are now going to the USA and not expanding further in beautiful Europe. Trump is a bruiser and certainly has a lot of quirks and sometimes talks garbage, but at least he stands up for his own people. I find it questionable how German or European politicians can see eye-to-eye with him. After all, he recently showed off von der Leyen. We like to remember how she showed him her teeth beforehand and demonized him. In the end, he had her turn up at his estate between rounds of golf and she licked his feet. Before Trump, our cars had a 2.5% tariff. Now it's 15%, and some horndogs want to sell that as a success. It's sad that people who deal with finance even fall for it.

@CMustermann ich find Jack White bringt es ganz gut auf den Punkt :

Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous ‘wall’ construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake “gunshot to the ear” that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc. No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? “Masquerading as a real artist”? Thank you for giving me my tombstone. Well, here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.

@Tobiwankenobi500 haha, I am an absolute GEZ opponent and definitely not a ÖRR fan, but the main thing is that your binary world view is not disturbed
