Trump represents nothing if not the threat of instability for Germany, whether in the form of new tariffs on German cars or a cease-fire deal in Ukraine that leads to new waves of refugees.The last thing Germans will want then is a government thrust into an unplanned election campaign, unable to act in a moment of crisis. A second Trump administration, in other words, could give Germany’s government a new lease on life.
I dunno much about German politics, are they somehow in a broken / divided government or something?
Sounds like they’re saying the threat of a Trump controlled US would be a call to action to bring the government together and restore its function.
