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.

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

Good!!!

“I didn’t start it!”

“Yes, you did, you invaded Poland!”

[Jeff Chandler]

The TV told them so.

The question about which leader is most dangerous is silly. A better poll question is which leader instills more respect. Germans are not a stupid people. I think they would respect Trump even though the news media over there is hateful to Trump.

It reminds me of RR in the 1980s when Reagan was depicted as a shoot from the hip cowboy. Yet within 5 months of leaving office, the eastern block countries of Europe fell to the west and freedom and liberty like dominos.

Is it any wonder, with the picture our Globalist media portrays Trump as.

The global media is owned by a relatively few corporations, so they coordinate their propaganda.

Goebbels would be envious.

When you posted “Who won the bloody war, anyway?” I didn’t consciously realize it was from the skit I posted until I watched it post-posting. Some memories run deep I guess!

Comedy was really golden back then. We used to watch Fawlty Towers and laugh until our bellies cramped and our eyes watered so much we couldn’t see anything. It wasn’t the only show that was knock-down funny either.

[dfwgator]

The TV told them so.

Beale: Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition! And woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!!

So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us?

Because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now.

Because less than 3 percent of you people read books.

Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers.

Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube.

Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube.

This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation.

This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers.

This tube is the most awesome god...... force in the whole godless world.

And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people.

And that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died.

Because this company is now in the hands of CCA -- the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the 20th floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome god____ propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what s__ will be peddled for truth on this network.

So, you listen to me. Listen to me!

Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players.

We're in the boredom-killing business.

So if you want the Truth, go to God.

Go to your gurus.

Go to yourselves!

Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.

But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house.

And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win.

We'll tell you any s___ you want to hear.

We deal in illusions, man.

None of it is true!

But you people sit there, day after day, night after night -- all ages, colors, creeds.

We're all you know!

You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here!

You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal.

You do whatever the tube tells you --

You dress like the tube.

You eat like the tube.

You raise your children like the tube.

You even think like the tube.

This is mass madness, you maniacs!

In God's name, you people are the real thing.

We are the illusion!

So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now! Turn them off right now! Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I'm speaking to you now.

Turn them off!!

They are right. President Trump has sent the German economy into a recession, the other leaders haven’t laid a glove on Germany.

F_ck the Krauts, glad to say my Old Man killed plenty of them!

#2. As an addendum to the poll (which was reportedly not published/sarc), 75% of Germans who answered the poll thought that Hitler was a trustworthy man. Stay tuned for more news at the end of WW2.

You got it! What the heck does the average German know what’s going on in this country ? When Trump blasts away at our media this is one if the major reasons for it .

[elbook]

Again, as with any poll, They need to supply the EXACT questions asked, and How they were asked and in What order . Also WHO they asked and Where (when?) and how many people questioned (and who refused to be polled) to achieve these alleged ‘results’.

Leftard enclaves (of course in Germany) no doubt would rant about flying saucers if asked simple questions about ‘how they feel’ about anything ....

Most leftist journalists can find results to claim the ‘polled’ on just about anything and of course it will reflect a furtherance of their own agenda.

Leftists are liars and lie as easily as they breath whether they name themselves ‘journalists’ or not.

Trump would be dangerous for our enemies in a war.

[JusPasenThru]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[Erik Latranyi]

Democrats wish our media was as monolithic as what they have in Germany.

Conservatism, patriotism and liberty are hate-speech in much of western europe....that is why so many citizens are fleeing to the Visegrad nations.

[okie 54]

They knew Patton was more dangerous than the ones mentioned he proved it.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

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

Yes he is...better watch yer @$$.

[Crucial]

Germans lost the appreciation for freedom a long time ago. They are hell bent on enslaving themselves.

LOL! If we ever meet, I’ll buy you a Golumpki.
