I don’t mean legal regulations, but rather a minimum level of common sense: I cannot imagine a more unsuitable candidate as the incumbent US president - who he is was widely known. Now organized crime is in power - that was completely predictable, because that is what he has always stood for.
One thing is certain: someone who has been declared a rapist by a court of law and has been convicted of many serious crimes should never be president of a country — especially not if he is also doing everything in his power to withhold incriminating material relating to the investigation of a pedophile ring.
Apart from the fact that Trump is a pedophile, rapist, fascist, and a criminal, he and his entire administration are also incredibly incompetent.
Yes, you can set that up. But most news communities such as /world, /worldnews, /news, and others are very US-centric. I wonder why that has to be the case when it should be clear to everyone by now that the White House is employing troll tactics.
Yes, “confirmed” or “proven” would be the right term. This is even legally correct, which is important in the age of ChatGPT and the like.
The AfD is legally classified as a right-wing extremist party and, as such, is rightly under observation by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (“Verfassungsschutz”). This is the assessment of an organization that itself has major problems with right-wing extremism — even they confirm this.
Sorry, I fell for the clickbait headline because I wouldn’t have been surprised if this guy had “killed himself.” It’s a bit like The Onion; it’s hard to tell the difference between that and US news, and I don’t read articles about it anymore because I don’t see the point.
Yes, I’m sorry, I’m allergic nowadays. I can’t take it anymore.
News like this is all too typical for the US these days. There is really no rule of law here anymore - none whatsoever - I am truly glad that I do not live in this absurd banana republic.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all reasonable US citizens, of course, but please forgive me if I am not overly hopeful.

I’m not saying it would be easy. On the contrary.
I’m not so sure about that. It seems to me that the majority here believe that a few lawsuits from the Democrats could settle the matter — I don’t think so.
Edit: How do you think I’m yelling?
Then it will probably end up in a system like today’s Russia. Trump or Vance as the sole ruler above the law.
That would be disastrous not only for US citizens, but for the whole world.
With Friedrich Merz, the US unfortunately already has the German chancellor more or less in its pocket: The man was Head of the supervisory board of Black Rock Germany until 2020, was chairman of the “Atlantik Brücke” from 2009 to 2016, a lobby organization for economic relations between Germany and the US, held various positions in other business-related lobby organizations, and stands for almost the same kind of mindless hate speech against foreigners as MAGA.
In short, it is fair to say that Merz is more of a US lobbyist than a politician.
