Pew Research Center ^ | November 24, 2025 | Jacob Poushter, Jordan Lippert and Sofia Hernandez Ramones

In the ninth annual joint Pew Research Center and Körber-Stiftung surveys of the United States and German publics, we find profound changes in perceptions of the bilateral relationship. These are the first surveys in this series conducted since Donald Trump began his second term as U.S. president and Friedrich Merz became chancellor of Germany.

Relations are still better than 80 years ago. They are lucky that they are all not speaking English today.

Eff Germany.

They want the US to fight Russia for Ukraine, they hate us for causing Global Warming, they despise that we don’t love illegals or Muslims like they do, and oh, so much more.

The krauts have been taking advantage of the U.S. for decades, all while playing footsie with the Russians to get their oil & gas. Now on Trump’s watch, the Germans are being made to toe the mark as regards trade, tariffs, and defense spending. F’ a bunch of Nazi wannabes.

Here is a news flash for Germany. MAGA already determined that the US - Germany relationship turned sour when you surrendered like the French to the Islamofascists. Fix your own country before you start lecturing US.

We should have finished the job 80 years ago.

Germany is still taking Russian gas. They don’t let it offload publicly at their ports, but they take it via third countries.

Back to post #2. I think deep down they resent that too.

The Krauts hate Trump. Sadly, no one is more jealous and resentful than family. Friedrich Trump left Kallstadt for good in 1902 and never looked back. Grandson runs the world. They hate that.

Germans can't find their way out of a paper bag without the US’ help. Germany started two world wars, now they want to start the third one and force the US not only to pay for it but send our kids to fight it. HARD PASS!

Berlin is an open sewer. The best way to fix Germany would be
to nuke Berlin. That would go a long way to fixing Germany.

What this poll says is that the German news and media outlets have been very effective in spreading their anti-US propaganda domestically.

That second graph is hilarious and is exactly what you’d expect.

The Germans, like most Europeans, simply can’t stomach an American president who genuinely loves America and puts America’s interests first.

Germany is not to be trusted. No European country, except perhaps Poland or Hungary.

Shock Shock, Germans love it when America has a president who acts in the interests of the Yurps against America, and hate it when America has a president who acts in the interests of America rather than the interests of Western European elites.

They like it when America submits to open borders, Gaia worship, Socialism and fund the war with Russia for them. They don't like it when America develops its own energy resources, gets rid of socialism, throws out invading 3rd world hordes and is no longer willing to pay for a war with Russia that is not in America's national interest.
