Nah, that would take the last bit of joy out of the German political system’s misuse of the EU commission as a toxic waste dump for politicians who have become too bad for domestic use.

It’s the website of the German foreign office, so if you’re looking for official information, it’s as trustworthy as it gets.

Yes, but he can’t be called “incredibly dumb” anymore, because Trump made an entirely different level of stupidity not only credible, but bitter reality.

Remember the innocent days when we thought W was incredibly dumb?

No matter who will gain power in the US after Trump, that country’s political system as it is cannot be trusted anymore. It brought that destructive madman to power not only once, but twice. There are zero safeguards against this happening again and again and again.

Also it’s not very likely for Trump nor his vile party to allow another regime change. They attempted a coup already when Trump lost the election last time. Even though Trump himself is as dumb as a bucket of shit, in the Republican Party, there are people who are smart enough to have learned lessons from the failed coup. The kind of lessons they used to draw up “Project 2025”. Even if Trump drops dead before his nominal term is over, his equally vile vice president will take over, and I doubt he has any greater desire than Trump himself to ever relinquish power. A not insignificant part of the US population supports the ideology of those vile people. And a phenomenon very well known in Germany from its infamous fascist past, a large, silent majority just tagging along for fear of retribution, is already manifesting itself in the US. As a last farewell, we therefore should export the nice German word “Mitläufer” to the USA. Free of charge. They are going to need it later.

If Trump or Musk do something against Germany

They already have. Musk’s propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter (and other US “social media” platforms) is supporting enemies of the German state (the AfD), and Both Musk and Trump’s second in command have been openly endorsing them before the election. Including a likely illegal campaign contribution by Musk.

Seizing Musk’s Tesla factory is a good idea, but I wouldn’t give it to VW, they might learn even more lessons on how to reduce their products’ quality while simultaneously inflating their prices.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
