German press WARN: "Trump has transformed the United States into a laughing stock and he is a danger to the world."
Link to tweet
One paper, a German paper called Der Spiegel, has perfectly put into words how most sane Americans, nay, the world, feels about Trump. The author is Klaus Brinkbäumer, and the man is a damn genius.
The article is titled Its Time to Get Rid of Donald Trump A Danger to the World. Saying:
Donald Trump has transformed the United States into a laughing stock and he is a danger to the world. He must be removed from the White House before things get even worse.
Something the majority of Americans, seeing as Trump overwhelmingly lost the popular vote, agree with.
The article begins by saying:
Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesnt read. He doesnt bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.
But hold onto your underoos, thats just the beginning. Brinkbäumer continues:.................................

We can't tatoo the trumpers, but what if we all stood together and branded ourselves so we could see who they are on sight.
Maybe, in this alternate universe, trumpers could walk around being nervous.
File this in the cabinet of ideas that will never happen.

(37,313 posts)the Germans certainly know what they are talking about.
If the U.S. pays the same price percentage wise for Trump that Germany paid for Hitler, we are talking about 29 million dead.

(51,583 posts)"He must be removed, quickly. He is a danger to the world and is not fit to hold the office." I wish Russia felt this way...they would know how to remove him quickly and quietly. The Mafia it too loud and messy.

(869 posts)...and I spend hundreds a year getting it delivered here in Washington, D.C. (I am natively German)
It features real journalism and some aggressive research, and therefore had its own blowback in Germany. One chancellor who did not like the coverage of him called it "das Scheissblatt" (the Shitpaper) .
How do I know? Because in a recent anniversary edition this citation was on its cover!
