Please understand that I live in the U.S. As you likely realize, I try to listen to all news sources. I try to read in different languages because I question everything. I must tell you that Donald Trump is a disaster for the U. S. His list of wrongs are so long I cannot possibly give them here, but a brief summary will serve. He has pulled out the Richard Nixon race playbook to try and divide my nation, which is already so painfully divided. He has played upon religious biases, so we do not see the commonality of our people. He lies, and lies and lies. He lies shamelessly all in the same speech. He denied the existence of COVID in the US until it had taken hold and was a juggernaut, killing more here than anywhere else in the world. Why? We are technologically advanced. We have sophisticated healthcare facilities. And yet, people die here of COVID at disastrous rates. Why? If leadership, if governance had been appropriate this would not be the case. Who else does one look to for responsibility except the leaders of a country?
I don't know what is said about Trump in Germany. But, believe me, he has been a disaster for the social fabric and health of the US.
Hope you don't mind my long answer.Hello @ditsch, One video is in German (hard for me to understand) and the other won't play. But I tried.
Edit: I've come back to edit this. Politics are really not a good idea here, so perhaps I shouldn't write this. However, I thought you might like to hear from someone who actually lives in the U.S. Not a newspaper or TV show, but someone you 'know'. If this answer offends you, or anyone else, just know that this is my opinion, the way I see things.
