Following his party’s victory in federal elections on Sunday, Friedrich Merz, the likely next Chancellor of Germany, rejected overtures from President Donald Trump while calling for “independence” from the United States and accusing Washington of election interference.
On Sunday, German voters firmly rejected the former leftist governing coalition of Social Democrats and Greens in favour of the supposedly conservative Christian Democrats and the populist-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
In response to the election results, President Donald Trump commented on his Truth Social platform: “Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.”
“This is a great day for Germany, and for the United States of America under the leadership of a gentleman named Donald J. Trump. Congratulations to all — many more victories to follow!!!” Trump added.
However, the successor to Angela Merkel and likely incoming chancellor Friedrich Merz, whose party came first in Sunday’s vote but fell well short of a majority with just 28.5 per cent of the vote, was quick to reject a right-wing alliance with the AfD in favour of a left-wing coalition and to distance himself from Trump and America in general.

Idle threats.
That isn’t a threat.
America gave its blood and was the Arsenal of Democracy during WWII and saved Europe from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It’s time for America to truly get back to being great again America first. Fascist Europe’s continuing slide to societal suicide is not our problem.
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye.

“rejected overtures from President Donald Trump while calling for “independence” from the United States and accusing Washington of election interference.“
What a crude fool. As if we would screw with German elections. He’s just exploiting EU Media hatred for Trump to elevate himself. OK Adolf, go ahead pal up with the leftists and we will watch your economy collapse.
It’s time to close all US bases in Germany. The economy in the Frankfurt area will collapse.
Challenge accepted.
President Trump, get ALL of our military personnel THE HELL OUT OF GERMANY !
Bring every U.S. military member home. Close U.S. bases in Germany and stop wasting U.S. dollars in this ungrateful, parasite nation. WE OWE THEM NOTHING !
Perfect! Do it on your own.
The USA helped defeat you socialist Germans twice in the last century. The Germans are making it look like it has not learned and will need a third repeat against their totalitarian instincts.
