'Easy to be winner, hard to be a loser' — Germany chides Trump over vote count
The Print ^ | 6 November, 2020 | Arne Delfs

Berlin: Germany called on Donald Trump to play by the rules and accept the result of the U.S. presidential election in what amounted to a rare diplomatic foray by a key Western ally.

Trump’s appeal to end the counting of ballots “doesn’t comply with the democratic culture” of the U.S., German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told public broadcaster ARD on Thursday.

“It’s easy to be a winner, but sometimes it’s quite hard to be a loser,” he said. “It’s important that in the end the result will be accepted by everybody.”

Until now, European leaders have chosen to keep quiet on the unfolding political drama in U.S., and await a final resolution. Germany has a track record of keeping a low profile when it comes to foreign policy and avoiding controversial positions.

Germany calls it In this case, it’s taking a clear stand in trying to steer Trump to accept whatever the result is when it comes. With Democratic rival Joe Biden ahead in key states, Trump has suggested the ballot represents a “major fraud on our nation,” and threatened to take the results to the Supreme Court.

“This is first of all the Trump family and his close campaign team,” Maas said. “I can imagine that there are also a number of proud Republicans who follow with growing suspicion what is happening there.”

Trump is calling for the end of counting counterfeit votes that were printed by the Democrat Fraud Machine.

Most international accords say that:

1. The United States will pay for stuff for other countries

2. The United States will follow the orders of stupid committees

Germany’s history is nothing to brag about. Their conceit, arrogance, ignorance of America and The American Spirit reflects poorly on the country that thinks so highly of itself. Especially since Germany cannot even defend itself it had to. IOW, STFU!

Really, I think that Pres. Trump’s victory was hard won, look what he was put through the last 4+ years, look at how hard he worked through this election, on the other hand the loser slept through the campaign, and now he is stealing it. How could anyone after working this hard, call his victory easy, and expect him to be a good sport while his win is being stolen from him by the most corrupt, inept and lazy campaigner in US history!

Much less about how a POTUS is elected. Typical of a stupid arrogant know nothing conceited jackass country.

Oh, Heiko the Trump-hater opening his trap again.

The German press has been claiming for months that Trump’s going to stage a coup and regain the presidency by illegal means, while saying absolutely nothing about the fraud and coup perpetrated by the Democrats.

That’s exactly what Maas is.

The SPD were boasting about being the original “Antifa” back when Trump designated the US Antifa as a terror group, too.

Last but not least, they share a name with the party that Lenin belonged to in Russia (the Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia), which he changed into the Communist Party of the Soviet Union when he seized power.

In my opinion, Germany has not only been nothing but adversarial toward Trump, but Germany has been both covertly and overtly working as an adversary against America for decades.

And I am talking often since WWII !
