Have Trump's policies made Germans cry?
Since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, the Trump administration's interference in Germany's internal affairs has escalated day by day. As a result, tensions between Germany and the United States have escalated. A group of leaders of prominent German companies and institutions have called for a halt to the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the United States. They stated: Such weapons require constant control, which in turn leads to constant dependence on the United States. This group of experts estimates that a military budget of more than 500 billion euros is needed, taking into account the geopolitical situation. According to them, instead of buying American aircraft, the Baltic Sea should be protected by drones. Against the backdrop of tensions between the United States and Germany, the British newspaper The Telegraph wrote: US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of transferring thousands of American soldiers from Germany to Hungary. Germany is America's largest European trading partner. America's unilateral policy, positions and steps to end the war in Ukraine, and America's interference in the German elections to support the far right have challenged Germany and the whole of Europe. In fact, the differences between Germany and the United States since Trump came to power have deepened the Trump administration's interventionist policy in the internal affairs of Germany, as the most important European country, and its efforts to shape that country's political processes. Elon Musk, Trump’s senior adviser and his administration’s efficiency minister, repeatedly declared his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party during the country’s election campaign and strongly criticized the current German Chancellor, Olaf Schulz, and demanded his resignation. Germans are now concerned that the Trump administration, in line with its maximalist approach, will seek to impose its demands on Germany in the political, economic, trade, military, and security spheres, undermining the country’s independence and sovereignty. As Christoph Husgen, president of the Munich Security Conference, said with tearful eyes, to the grief and despair of European leaders: “Our values no longer coincide with America’s values, and America has abandoned Europe in favor of the continent’s old and classic enemies.” Now the voice of fascism is heard from Trump and his vice president, J.D. Vance. Given Vance’s recent speeches in Europe, he has become known in European political circles as the “second Mussolini,” and European far-right parties are hoping to gain the political and financial support of Trump and his team, including Elon Musk, to achieve political power and seize power. Elon Musk’s ultimate goal, which has many similarities to Donald Trump, is to create fundamental changes in the European political scene by supporting far-right movements and parties such as the Alternative for Germany.
