Germans think Trump is more dangerous than Kim Jong Un and Putin

Although Washington is one of Germany's closest allies, public trust in the US has significantly eroded under President Donald Trump, a new YouGov survey showed.

Germans were asked who was more dangerous: North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Russian President Vladimir Putin or US President Donald Trump.

Some 41% of Germans said they thought Trump was the most dangerous out of the five world leaders.

In second place was Kim with 17%, followed by Putin and Khamenei with 8%. Coming in last was China's Xi with 7%.

Over 2,000 people in Germany took part in the survey, which was commissioned by news agency dpa.

A similar YouGov poll was carried out in July last year, in which 48% of Germans surveyed said Trump was more dangerous than Kim and Putin. That poll, however, did not include the leaders of Iran or China.

The Nord2 pipeline from Russia didn’t exactly endear Germany to the United States.

They also thought Churchill was more dangerous than Hitler.

They were correct, and if they push us, they might find out dangerous President Trump is to those, who threaten Americans and serve the Deep State to harm Americans.

They thought Hitler was the guy to follow, never take the advice of a German on governance.

It would be interesting to see the breakdown in this poll of who were former residents of East Germany vs. West Germany.

...Washington is one of Germany's closest allies, (but) public trust in the US has significantly eroded...

And we give a rat's ass because...?

I resented for years the press pushing the idea on us Americans that these European countries opinions of us were important factors on how we should behave.

These are pissy ass defenseless low GDP countries now, and not the factors they were in ww2. -Tom

[Because they believe CNN and the rest of the fake media.]

Well, some percentage of the Germans liked Hitler, Merkel and Hasselhoff.

Then again, so do American Lefties.

Um, because President Trump is the only one who can cut funding to NATO unless Germany and others start pulling their weight?

Cutting off Germanys source of natural gas from Russia even if it is to try and keep them from rebuilding Russias power till it is a danger to not only Germany but the world may be farsighted, but is a act of war.

Seeing how cutting Japan odd from oil worked out...

They said the same about Reagan in the 80s. Convinced he was going to get them all nuked. Remember that song by Nena?

99 Luft Balloons?

I have the lyrics, it's of been portrayed as a peace song, which it isn't. It's a woman moaning the loss of her young man.

Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.

Yeah, feudalism depends on the peasantry rating today’s risks above tomorrow’s.
