Trump represents nothing if not the threat of instability for Germany, whether in the form of new tariffs on German cars or a cease-fire deal in Ukraine that leads to new waves of refugees.The last thing Germans will want then is a government thrust into an unplanned election campaign, unable to act in a moment of crisis. A second Trump administration, in other words, could give Germany’s government a new lease on life.
Sure… let’s keep hallucinating how a Trump win is some isolated result and how other countries will cope with it.
They won’t. They will follow the same route.
The exact same propaganda that fried US citizen’s brains is working everywhere and it’s completely irrelevant if the current German government is united for another year or disbands in 5 minutes. The next election will see the same kind of right-wing lying populist morons, just in a slightly different flavor, win in Germany (it’s no coincidence they spend the last years in communication with MAGA idiots for pointers how to campaign).
