This is my reaction to Donald Trump Destroyed by German TV Satire (heute-show)
In this video I react to more German satire and comedy from heute-show. In this video they take aim at US President Donald Trump
Subscribe to ZDF heute show and enjoy German satirical comedy - / @heuteshow
There is no better way to rewatch old Heute Show videos than with this beautiful scottish commentary
Absolutely perfect
true i always found their humor kinda mid, but seeing it through the eyes of an outsider (language and cultural background) makes me appreciate more it to some degree
+1
Genau das mein Herr!

"In good times we listen to politicians and laugh about comedians. In times of crisis we listen to comedians and laugh about politicians."
It's from whom?
@@drau331 ...doesn't matter...but it's true...! 👍
@@Packless1 Yeah, But its good! And good sayings come better when spoken by famous wise ppl...
In guten wie in schlechten Zeiten habe ich nur den komikern und komikerinnen zugehört und über diese gelacht😅
Aber ich denke du hast Recht 👍
This is the best integretion ever, an english guy is watching german comedy/satire and german people are watchin this.
Great work ❤
i am not sure if this scottsman is actually a fan, or if he just says so for german views and likes?
i would like to see some republicans reflect on this...
@@zoolkhan at least if this is the case, Mert is a sympathic guy, I love to watch his videos.
@zoolkhan a german would say to this: Nur was ich selber denk und tu, traue ich auch den Andern zu.
British or Scottish. Not English
@@wZem sorry, unfortunately I dont have the deep knowledge how to call this right
The problem with "The Donald" is: you don't need satire for him. He is the embodiment of satire...
@@Maskharat It has been for politicians for sure but he's the US President and despite this great responsibility he said stupid things over and over again. Jaw dropping stuff like the water boarding in this video. He is begging for a straitjacket and duc tape for 7 years now
*That's more true of Biden. Biden is an embarrassing senile initiated prankster..what a shame for America!*
I am clairvoyant, so i saw WWIII escalating several times through dreams. The good thing is, Trump is an idiot so before any of it manifested he stumbled on his own two feet, and Biden is not much better. They both are so embarrassing, that the US didn't want to have that war, with those men being the representatives. They being very incompetent and troublesome, kind of like spontanously messing things up so severly that their reputation gets irreversibly damaged same as public faith, is a fortunate thing for the world.
I like your videos. It shows me how good our shows really are. We here in Germany know this show and take it for granted. We don't think about how good we have it. In every way. That's probably why the populists get so many votes. People do not value what they have.
I think populism in the world and especially in Germany is very dangerous. How much more and how much good could mankind achieve if we would all work together.
yes it is the greatest threat. the Grüne keep breaking the constitution, faeser abuses power worse than nixon, scholz just says "i don't remember" when asked about his crimes. but no worries. just yell something about right wing threat and nobody may dare to stand up. also, did anyone apologize to trump? he was laughed about after his speech about germany being at risk after becoming 100% dependent on russian gas or push for germany to adhere to nato spending? i mean, that toooootally didn't turn out to be reasonable, right?
Here in Germany the Heute Show rather makes the simple political jokes. They are in contrast to shows like Die Anstalt and people like Bosetti.
@@ArneBab I watch them all ;)
@@ArneBabAre you talking about the one and only famous Blinddarm-Bosetti? What a shame for German Comedy we have her. Reminds us of darkest times in German history.
@@julianmustermann1243 As you presented beautifully, Bosetti is able to hit precisely and painfully.
We don't really do the "Cult of Personality" shtick anymore in Germany, for obvious reasons.
But yeah, the AFD wants to do a lot of stuff that sounds very trumpy.
What about the guys that fawn over Björn Höcke?
"But yeah, the AFD wants to do a lot of stuff that sounds very trumpy."
Exactly that.
TBH the AfD might be a bit populist, but is in fact the only real opposition in parliament. Also they do not shy away from asking important questions, e.g. 'who blew up Nord Stream?'. Which is something NONE of the other parties do. They also say we need to TALK to Putin, all other parties say 'Putin must be defeated' (knowing that a nuclear power can not be defeated).
But those opinions in the comments are, at least partially, a result of our mainstream media who must now be among the worst in the world.
Tbh, at least his idea of a wall wouldn't fly very good with most Germans.
Good
as a german its nice to see what other people from other coutry's think about germany.
A great piece of visual satire you might have missed here: In German, there is a word called "Vollpfosten" that you could translate with "Dumbass". Now, the funny thing is, the literal translation would be "Full-Post", that's why the "award" is shaped like a post.
The translations are sometimes too harmless compared with the real meaning of any German words
US yt censorship politics
I've never heard the words "dicke Hose" or "Matratzen" used as insults. DeepL just gave the literal translations. Are these popular terms in German?
@@alansmith4748 "Matratze" (mattress) is used in a way that many people already used to lay on top of you, so it's an indirect way of calling someone a sl*t, if you like, while "dicke Hose" is being used to describe someone's bragging behaviour.
@@alansmith4748 Yeah slang
@@Marc310380 Thanks :)
I love ur analysis of people aligning their beliefs with their party rather than the other way around - very sharp observation. Thanks!
Very Orwellian.
That polarization "we against you" is why the right to satire - the right to mock - is so important: even if the party you like is the one getting mocked, you can still start thinking, because while the jokes are still funny, they hurt. And they are only good if they hurt (then they challenge your beliefs).
... Hubert Aiwanger is our little Trump .. take a look what happend the last view days here in germany
Thank you, finally a sane Person.
Sorry, aber Hubby ist n Chor Knabe verglichen zu The Donald...
Aiwanger wird ein Mist von vor über 30 Jahren vorgeworfen, von dem unklar ist, ob das überhaupt stimmt. Scholz kann sich an seine Rolle bei den Millionenverlusten des Staates durch die Warburg-Bank nicht mehr erinnern obwohl das ganze ca. 5 Jahre her ist, und kommt ungeschoren davon. Erkenne den Fehler!
Worin besteht die Gemeinsamkeit zwischen den beiden 🤔
nicht wenn es um die Masche geht .. sieh dir die Beantwortung der 25 Fragen an, Trump-Style. De Santis war nicht umsonst bei der CSU zuletzt zu Gast. Oder Harris Media. Hat den Wahlkampf für Donald und den Online auftritt der AfD gemacht. Gibt viele Parallelen @@carroux4050
Friedrich Merz(CDU), Markus Söder(CSU), the whole AfD or CDU/CSU and some lesser politicians started more and more to behave like Trump sometimes even worse and its not only in Germany. Le Pen in France or Fratelli d'Italia or Lega in Italy and dont get me started with Austria or Hungary. Europe has a right-wing/Extremist problem across the continent and it grows very fast.
The worst thing is that social media in germany is FLOODED with snippets from pro AfD people, tiktok, TH-cam shorts, Twitter, facebook ofc... everywhere, also often including wrong framing and fake news - I'm not sure how they do it, probably does'nt help that the other parties are pretty bad at marketing themselves or spreading what the ampel government achieved. I believe social media takes a big part in their current poll high.
That's what came to my mind just from the beginning of Trump - he made bad behaviour being socially accepted and other politicians took him as an example.
In the AfD are extremists, while in the CDU/CSU (Union) are only democrats. It is the party of Angela Merkel, when she was chancellor.
Left-wing people always try to put the Union in the right corner of the AfD because they demand changes in migration policy, but there are worlds between these two parties.
Europe also has the problem of a hidden/media-supported left wing agenda more or less throughout the EU, restricting many aspects of their habitants' lives, in Germany even restricting the "Grundrechte" from the German constitution in the recent past, following destructive ideologies over common sense. That may not look as bad right now for some people, but as it's said in Germany "Wehret den Anfängen", and that doesn't only apply to right-wing but also to left-wing politics. And "dont get me started with" Die Grünen, or why is Germany the only "big" country in europe to have a recession!?
It started with Obama's electoral campaign - for some reason in Germany. We thought we too could choose the American president. But we haven't diselected Queen Elisabeth. It wasn't we.
As for our satire they sometimes make it, for example Mr. Putin has become much more popular due to their advertising.
So Mr. Trump cann make it again too.
Christian Ehring has an own show, extra 3, with great satire in my humble opinion. He absolutely shreds the various dumpsterfires, that just keep happening in our country.
Dieter Nuhr is a Comedian who specializes in calm intellectual comentary on all kinds of social topics. International topics, too. I warmly recommend their work, if you're looking for other content to explore
Danke, da musste ich schon nichts mehr dazu schreiben...
Would love to see some reaction on some recent Dieter Nuhr aswell!
No Dieter Nuhr, please. He’s a boomer mindset. Extra 3 is definitely worth watching if you like Heute Show and Böhmermann.
Yeah well, Nuhr has a little tendency lately to narrow down on the same topics over and over again: Of course there is climate change but everyone who wants to change something about our way of living is a close to a terrorist. Thats itself is a satire for narrow minded people rather accepting human self destruction than evolving for the better.
@@jackreacher963 Nuhr is often right, although he might not have the same liberal/progressive opinion as Extra 3 and Böhmermann.
What I think about Trump and the state of US politics can be summarized in one sentence: "He tried to use his Followers to overthrow the capitol and hes still not in prison"
Unfortunately I cannot describe what I think about Donald Trump without getting banned.
Me neither
Same
Unfortunately yes. In a half-sane world Trump would have been impeached the day after the riots and would be sitting in jail awaiting his many trials.
I agree.
Omg I love The Thick Of It!!! British politics is a bit different from Germany and we definitely don't have our version of Donald Trump but that doesn't mean that there aren't politicians attempting to get that title.
I can recomend the satire Show by Jan Böhmerman on the channel ZDF MAGAZIN ROYALE. I don't know if there is a version with english subtitles but maybe you can find an interesting episode that has subtitles.
I feel like our Trump isn't only Hubert Aiwanger but also Markus Söder. I mean, the amount of videos where he's literally dismissing facts as "not true"... Also, one of my favourite videos is the one where he says "We will not have drugs in Bavaria!" and then takes a sip of his beer lol
As an Englishman the German politician I like least is Lindner. I'd describe him as "herrisch". Although the FDP are described as Liberal, for me, they are the German party which resemble the British Conservative Party the most
@@alansmith4748 as much a I'd prefer for labour to win next election I fear your Keir Starmer is what our Gerhard Schröder was. Sort of a trojan horse to the labour movement
Even in the Video about Sugar by the heute show, he just didn't believe that people and especially parents are for prohibiting ads for that.
@@alansmith4748 Lindner is extremely capitalist, but socially he is pretty liberal. He is strongly in favour of lgbtq rights for example. Still not a good politician for me
@@harmsy1296but i mean the thing is: his views on social issues like lgbt won't cost him anything.
His economic ideas on the other hand will absolutly f*ck everyone exept the very rich.
So yeah absolutly not a good politician.
From my POV as a German I honestly have to say I'm in shock on how much popularity the AfD has gained over the past few years. I really hope they never get to power that would be our downfall frfr
I haven’t watched the heute Show in years, but you make me watch it. For some reason I really like listening to you and your accent.
Trump is really the peak of the Heute Show. There are so many vids about him.
You should use a low cut on your mic, you have a rumble everytime you touch your mic or move you arms on the table. Sometimes there is a low cut switch on the mic, if not use a 80Hz LowCut in the edit on your voice! ;)
Like the vids, keep going!
German here: I never watched the Heute show before until your videos showed up in my recommendations. I find myself really enjoying the show and your commentary.
Just as a little reminder: In your video about German brand names, you learned that it's Porsche with a pronounced "e" at the end. The same goes for the "heute show". “Heute” with a spoken “e” at the end.
I like the way he pronounces "heute". I hope he doesn't change it
I dont remember where i saw this, but when Trump did become President, they interviewd people on the street and one child said "wait, he is an actual Politician?! I thought he was a comedian!"
Populism definitely is a thing in Germany these days. You mentioned the AfD and it's a heated topic but it originated from an actual problem. The former east of Germany got treated rather poorly after the reunification, leading to quiet triste statistics in some areas. In the beginning there was little help from the flourishing west Germany and even today a lot of worries from the east were brushed under the rug. A lot has piled up in these decades, which lead to huge frustration in the east. Now in comes a party shouting these things into public view and claims to solve the issues. You got a recipe for attention, especially considering many of their politicians often mocking the current government, this goes along with the mindset of many frustrated citizen. The whole topic is way too complex for a simple comment on YT but even as an east German I dont approve this party/ movement. Its a lot of smoke and mirrors and there are no such things as quick fixes in democracy. As history told us: whenever someone comes along, claiming to have THE solution for all of your problems and it'll be easy, it's gonna end up in a shitshow or an outright catastrophy...
The AfD in Bavaria is liked by those who think like Trump about refugees... They forget easily that many of their families were refugees themself. It's a shame to see how much they don't know about their own history. And the CSU under Söder is... How can I say it in a polite way... Like the older brother of the AfD. They don't like each other but they're almost completely the same.
the fuck ??? is this revision of history ? veryx little help ?`? are you frigging kidding me ? west germany almost went bankrupt becasue of the fixed exchange rate to asimilate the east....the so called denazification that never happend in the east thats the main problem...nobody in their rigth mind wants to live with all the looneys not even the people from the east.....afd central points are all about building a wall around either germany or the EU to get rid of "foreigners" to take germans "first"...its just the 0815 xenophobes meets low education proletariat party.....they have ZERO solutions to any problem they only complain and the "solutions" they present are either ludicriously racist or flat out imposible to actualy put in place...people who are frustrated dont vote for racists, racists and xenophobes that buy into the bad foreigner BULLSHIT vote for this brown piece of garbage conglomerate....the mroe hauptschule the more afd...
Treated poorly lmao. They got their whole part completly renewed and worked up. The eastern germans are just gucking stupid, and this is coming from someone who lived in the zone. Heck there was a whole tax JUST FOR collecting money for eastern germany
That's utter BS. From the moment of unification, a lot of money went to the east, a lot of redevelopment was done. The people in the East tend to forget why unification came about in the first place: because the GDR was bankrupt! The people ignore that, they remember that everybody had a job that paid well, even if it was counting grain, even if the stores were empty and you couldn't buy anything with the money you earned. After unification, everything that wasn't profitable was shut down, yes. Mistakes were no doubt made. But the story the people from the East tell is simply not fact accurate.
@@cl8733 no you are just misinformed I guess. Part of the unification process was to include the east in the rhine capitalism. This meant the east had to provide whole sectors of service they simply didnt have. The west had decades to develop them and now all of a sudden the east needed them too. Farming and manufacturing no longer was the only thing you'd need. The east had to invest massive resources for this undertaking, which they didnt have, the banks were literally empty. A coping strategy was to let western investors buy massive amounts of property. To this day this is still the case and there is a huge amount of private ownership from westerners of eastern property so to speak. Not only was the former east completely on their own with tackling the adaptation, there also constantly was a condescending tone from the west. Quiet honestly this has still persisted to this day. This was where the first problems got rolling that now became the boulders for the eastern frustration. Little to no help, mockery, loss of perspective (especially on the country side) and little political motivation to change any of this for the east in decades. There are plenty of ressouces out there for you to check out like true home ownership statistics not to mention YT videos trying to explain it. There are still many differences like wages west to east etc. This whole topic is not as easy as you think...but i know history books wont tell you about every little detail of a certain period in time...
thanks for the recommended satire "the thick of it", gonna check that out :)
Totally love your show! You are always up to date. I can´t imagine what it takes to be right on the spot sorta before it [Edit:] "even" happens.
I am from Germany and watch the Heute Show regularly. But with your comments, it's great rewatching it again :-D Cheers !
You know what is sad? Many Americans wouldn't understand this. The concept of satire is incomprehensible to them
The best joke a few days ago, was a poll in America where they asked people if they thought that Biden (80) was too old for a second term. A majority said yes he's too old. Same question on Trump (77)... they didn't think he's too old. Talk about dumba.....
There are people who are still allowed to drive at 85 and others have to give back their driving licence at 70 because they are too old to drive. Good that people who think a bit further than you get to decide about such things.
The AfD gets growing support, but is also observed by the constitution protection agency due to lots of right-wing extremists in that party.
Don't forget Georg Schramm, he is a legend like Volker Pispers. Maybe start with "Georg Schramm - Systematische Volksverdummung durch die Medien (UNZENSIERT)" (only auto generated subs, but it's okay).
edit: okay, the subs aren't that good, but maybe you find the video with proper subs
Maybe rather start with Schramm: "Ist die Zeit der Hofnarren vorbei?" th-cam.com/video/F22hZJLPBeQ/w-d-xo.html (use auto-translated auto-subtitles)
In German, genuine behaviour that is a mockery in itself has a name: "Realsatire". Perfect name.
Well done again, Mert!
ty!!!
bro i watched u first time when this german rap songs reacting were famous but now i see u again and i still dont understand 50% of ur english bro but u definetly deserved that fame of this all. much love from a russiangerman ahahahahah
imo Merz is our Trump. Head of a major party and has lot's of money (worked at Blackrock). And he's conservative and calls everything cancel culture, same stuff as Trump
For real, the guy is literally trying to import issues from the US we don't even have over here.
He's probably not as stupid though even though he might be acting like it, to me it always seems like they just do some surveys and see f.e. "oh transgender and the greens seem to be unpopular at the moment among a lot of people in our target audience so they are our new enemies and the hot topic now"
For me its more Söder. Merz only make it really bad and obvious, but Söder copyed Trumps style really well.
He is not as bad as Trump, I would rather see Söder as the German Trump. But still yeah, not a great person at all.
Dude, you're as pale as a vampire. I love it.
Iam realy enjoy your scottish akcent! :) Greetings from Germany 👍🏴🇩🇪✌️
Another great video! Would it be possible to get the text overlay slightly less extreme in the image? Is that out of fear for a copyright strike? Since you're adding commentary I don't think it needs to be there, but if you want to be safe, maybe put it in the right top corner of the video frame?
I love your videos!
But I have to tell you that the e at the end of "heute" isn't silent, it sounds like the e in "every".
Nice to see you , i love your Videos that the way to make Amerika great . Many Greatings from Germany and please go on !😊
Very sympathetic and authentic person, he should be in movies. He has a cool aura.
the eagle had shown a good taste. he didn't like trump
Check out for Extra 3 and Max Giermann playing Trump.
the movie "Idiocracy" is becoming more and more like a documentary from the future.
"they covered Donald Trump" - just hearing that and recalling the memories brought a smile to my lips ☺
Hi, why is there always the writing in front of the picture? Would love to see the people 🤔
Otherwise I love it, thank you 😘
Greetings from New Zealand
For more Trump, i would recommend you the "Trump Pilot" from Extra 3. But sadly, they don't have any subtitles for those videos so it could be hard to watch as a non native german.
Lov'n your Videos and your lovely scottish accent.
The Thick of it is brilliant! I don't really know how to describe it, though. It's not political cabaret per-se, because it's made like a documentary (which probably describes reality in British politics quite well), but it's also not comedy. It's quite unique.
I keep watching all your vids since a half year now.... I assume you finally deserved a subscription. You r very much entertaining and I like your point of views. But dont glorif our country too much. I've been to Scottland quite a few times as well as the rest of the UK and what I can say for sure. There is so much going wrong in Germany like in any other country as well. Furthermore I like so much about England and Scottland too... We have lots of things in common!
That is very true - I am also German...
Are you familiar with the 'nokherberg'? Geography aside it is also the name of a certain satire/comedy event which takes place in Munich once a year during carneval. Basically, a bunch of german politicians come together to listen to people making satire about them. While you can't exactly visit the event in person if you don't have an invitation it gets broadcastet on tv and you can always find it on youtube. It starts with a, in my opinion, very well written and entertaining speech followed by a musical with the actors playing various german politicians. During the musical they always get into the most ridicoulus situations. Last time they ended up lost on an uninhabited island. Probably too long for a reaction video but if you have the time and are interested I can only recommend watching it.
well groomed => Boris!
I love the Heute-Show. Btw the second e in Heute is NOT silent.
They translate "Vollpfosten" with dumbass, which is not incorrect
The litteral meaning is "complete pole" (that is also the reason for the shape of the "reward")
It compares the intelligence of the "Vollpfosten" to that of a pole( like in "fencepole")
Best haircut for watching German tv 😂
Greets from Germany ❤
we life in times where the facts are just opinions aswell for some people
I recommend you take at Sebastian Puffpaff. He also works for the Heute Show sometimes. He did one segment about Donald Trump, too
theres another german satyre show titled extra 3. they also have a youtube channel and some of their videos are available with english subtitles.
That's what i was thinking too.... the "Interview " with Donald Trump on extra 3 is great.......😂 and Jan Böhmermann "america first ,germany second " from the ZDF Magazin Royale. 😅
i heard England wants to make 4th of July a state Holiday as well. They want to call it "Good Riddance Day" ;o)
The best German videos on Donald Trump are by Torsten Sträter, but unfortunately he relies heavily on wordplay, which is impossible to translate without explaining all kinds of aspects
Wished you would put the text heute show......on top of the video window ...
love ur enthusiasm good job take care
@5:11 yes, it's the same in Germany, sadly.
The AfD-party in germany is mostly famous in east-germany.
German Trump is Markus Söder from the CSU, Bavaria.
Your english is gettin' better 😋Beannachdan!
anything about Michael Kretschmer, or saxonia, its the german florida accept of the weather...
Hi! Ire ike your show - it's interesting to see another opinion (since I ike the heute show a to) and to hear some insight news. Could you write the poetic show down for me (around min 6)? I can't find it. That would be lovely thanks :)
as a german i say dont listen to this show
The Germans have Markus Söder
James o'Brien called it footballification of politics, that's not that common in systems with proportional representation.
Laughing about your own countrys shortcomings always has a tinge of sadness with it. However, waffling about another country is amazing =)
Fun fact: the reporter guy has his own satire show called Extra3, where he "interviewed trump" multiple times.😉
The problem in Germany is, that our politicians beat the satire more and more with what they say. Statements like "A shop that is closed does not go bankrupt, its only not selling anything anymore." (in context with the lockdowns, and rising energy cost). A comedian can't make that up, because he would think it sounds too stupid.
Not other in UK.
Or the "bacon of hope for eastern cocaine". (Meaning a beacon of hope for eastern Ukraine)
Try to come up with that joke! You have to be dumb like a german Foreign Minister! ^^
Tells hoe those politicians never had to work for money or pay their life costs themselves. As far attached from reality as suggesting to eat cake qhen there's no bread
Of all the examples available, you chose THIS ONE?! See, THAT is a problem in German politics these days, too. The PEOPLE are far too lazy to really think about what politicians actually say and just follow the very first headline of tabloid press to get mad about everything, regardless of if its justified or not; This sentence shown here is what we literally watched for over two years of covid pandemic; Shops that were forced to close DID NOT GO BANKRUPT; It was "just" a temporary closure, and politics had to support them, but they DID NOT GO BAKRUPT. And nothing else was said with this sentence, that closure doesnt HAS to end up in bankruptcy.
@@pallao3500 Who are you? Habeck's press officer? Shops did not go bankrupt, yeah right. They just dont sell anything anymore, as he said. And I have seen that statement on TV myself, so please dont deny it.
"The Thick of it" is a great show.
Hello there. As a humble human being, there is only one opinion about Donald Trump. To say it in his own words: insane. Greetings.
Sry mate, can‘t understood ya lingo!Hardcore scottish is like bavarian german!;-)
#voiceactivatedElevator?In Scotland?
Unimaginable, Trump's waterboarding bla bla. No one in Germany could talk like this, for good reasons!
Since yesterday I think Aiwanger and other right wingers can say whatever they want.
I think the "well groomed" part was just a literal translation of a description that possibly could fit a midlife crisis/penile compensation car. "Frisiert" can also mean "tuned up", like you would describe a modded car, so maybe a way to read this would be "Stupid, loud and tuned up extremely well".
To be clear, I would say it was the right move to leave that translated literally even if that was the intention, because there would be no good way of squeezing that into concise subtitles; this was just my thought as an alternative to the "lol, comb your hair much" reading
No it was just straight irony, coupled with inaccurate subtitles. "frisiert" only applies to the hair, while "groomed" can mean all kinds of hygiene, styling, workout etc.
i like your reactions, good work! When u like Trump and german comedy, maybe react to: "Amerika first - Germany second mit Jan Böhmermann". have a good day
When they showed the clips of trump we had an english speaker reacting to a german dubbed with english subs version of an english speaking person. Crazy
Christian Ehring is actually the host of another great satire show, Extra3.
The "Heute Show" is the only honest - and funniest - News Show. :D
Swiss here. i better not start to give an opinion on the US system. But sometimes i wonder what would happen to their toxic "friend or foe" polarity, if they were given 7 or 9 presidents, instead of just 1. The inclusion into power has worked many miracles in switzerland.
3:47 We've had our fair share of reactionary populists, just spouting slogans of whatever people want to hear. Every democratic nation has those, at least to some degree, as far as I'm aware. But we also have our fair share of actual Trump supporters and hardliners.
During Corona, I was working in a general food and drink store, and we had one regular customer, who said (and I'm quoting directly) that he "thanks God for every day Donald Trump remains alive and in office." This same man also believed every conspiracy theory type deal, every bit of obvious fake news, every bullshit piece of Trump propaganda, and was constantly prophesying the next big thing, which never came and never happened, and he kept blindly believing anyway, and feeling quite smug and superior about it.
Blind Ignorance and hate for the Other exists everywhere, and sadly over here in Germany it often seems that the people that complain the loudest about how Germany shouldn't have to be constantly reminded of its past are usually the ones who have yet to learn the lessons of that past in any significant way...
Your customer during Corona sounds like an extreme case to me, but let me ask you something considering Corona: Did you also "believe every" maybe-not-so-obvious bit of 'fake news' or rather false information about (have to use German now)
Die Impfung schützt vor Ansteckung
Die Impfung schützt vor Weitergabe des Virus
Die Impfung ist nebenwirkungsfrei
Die Schulen müssen geschlossen werden, um die Bevölkerung zu schützen
Er wird keine Impfpflicht geben
Die Ungeimpften sind Schuld an der Pandemie
etc.
Imo, "was constantly prophesying the next big thing, which never came and never happened, and he kept blindly believing anyway" also sounds a whole lot like our health minister Karl Lauterbach (who sometimes gets called the panic minister, and I think for good reason).
One last question: I'm not a fan of Trump, but how often do the German media and press report negatively about Trump and how often they do it about Biden? In my experience, the latter almost never happens, but it's not because there's nothing to be reported.
You're on the wrong side mate. You're letting them brainwash you.
I am afraid the thing they got wrong with the trophy was the length of it. What I've heard the stump and the hair bit should have sufficed.
Trump....yeah, we can't explain it either. America 🤪
yes the AfD is on the rise here and has been for a while and it scares the crap out of me. lots of ppl vote for them not necessarily because they agree with the party's ideas, but because they are frustrated, but I very much doubt that the AfD would make life better for them in any way...
Got a new haircut? Looks neat
Definitely well groomed - I don't want to know what it costs to get his hair that color and in that "flow" ;)
If you like the reporter in this scene. His name is Christian Ehring and he is the host of another German satire show called "Extra3" which I highly recommend for you.
The problem with the media and entertainment is you care about the personality of a person rather than the policy that really matters!!
I once asked at an AFD political stand if the still use the consevative "Hello" or if they already great each other with the right arm pointing upwards....they were not amused by the look on their faces:)
My man got very german hairstyle 🇩🇪🔥
Nice haircut
why is there always the text title on the video screen?
