U.S. president’s praise for Friedrich Merz’s ‘conservatives’ offers a glimmer of hope after the White House’s brutal criticism of Europe.

    Dumbass doesn’t even know that it’s supposed to be AfD he’s rooting for, and that Germany’s “conservative” party is more akin to centrist Democrats and are actively against him.

      For all we know he was rooting for the AfD, and he just didn’t know/care that people use “convervatives” to refer to a different party.

      You should read up on Merz’ past. Makes more sense then.

      Sorry but that is just not true. The CDU/CSU is as close to fascism as they can be while trying to keep the mantle of a centrist party, like they colluded with the fascist noAfD already. Also Friedrich Merz’s grandfather was a Nazi. He was a mayor of the only town that had a Workers Strike when the NSDAP came into power. And he violently beat that Strike town to the core, so that certainty gives a vibe to Friedrich. So yeah maybe the noAfD is the more open fascist party but don’t think the CDU/CSU is far from it, they are in many points just as bad or worst them the noAfD and Trump endorsing them actually feels right.

        I don’t see how that matters, especially with how many people this applies to in Germany. My maternal grandfather may have been a nazi as well, at least he never talked about what he did during “that time”. Doesn’t make me one.

        Let’s judge people by the acts of their ancestors, not their own. Nice one bro. Can you tell me about your grandfather so I can get a vibe of who you are?
