Trump Elected - Germans Most Impacted

Or that seems to be how the Germans feel anyway. There are many stories, but I will limit myself to one. Well OK, this story links to a few others.

If you're ever curious about what is going in across the pond, you can do a lot worse than start with Deutsche Welle: 'The nightmare': Germany's media react to Trump's victory

An opinion poll held days before the vote found that 74% of Germans supported Kamala Harris whereas only 11% supported Trump.

I always find the asymmetry fascinating. Europeans are heavily invested in American politics, while Americans can't tell you who is in charge of Germany, or France, or the UK, let alone Poland or Slovenia.

Can you imagine running an opinion poll in the US and asking the man in the street how they feel about the candidates in an upcoming German elections?

The election was seen as a referendum on issues like migration and economic policy at home, but also pivotal for geopolitical issues around the world.

Germany's most widely-read tabloid Bild said the election outcome was "the last warning signal for our government" as it attempts to overcome voters' grievances similar to those in the US.

Which is why the government and the media are so opposed to what Americans have said we, as a whole, want.

Well, and they are looking at the very real possibility that they will actually have to start paying for their own national defense.

Weekly newspaper Die Zeit also ran an article with a single, uncensored English word as its headline: "F---."

Die Ziet, unlike Deutsche Welle, doesn't translate their content into English, and yet they had one word of English as their headline.

What is really going on? The media, which is the PR branch of globalism, like the World Economic Forum, is pissed off that people are no longer listening to them.
