The response to Donald Trump’s policy initiatives, the fate of Ukraine, and the issue of massive investment and record debt are on German voters’ minds two weeks after the federal election.

    This is true and wont change when Trumps gone either to be honest. The right wing of the US is closer to Russia’s right wing than any european party and also far divorced from the rest of Americas wants. So long as Fox news keeps pushing them toward fascism they’ll vote for the next fascist weather its Trump or not. Dealing with the US right now is like a Jeckle and Hyde situation where each personality lasts for two to four years at a time. Too unreliable for anything productive.

      The big issue for me is that it’s like dealing with a completely different country every four or eight years. How can you enter into an agreement with the US and rely on it sill being in place in 5 years?

        Previously, they would uphold agreements from a previous administration. Trump doesn’t even uphold agreements from his own previous administration. If you can’t trust agreements, you stop making them and use other forms of diplomacy, which are less diplomatic. China will be under big pressure of their growth stalls. USA will be under pressure of their growth stalls due to trump. Wars are a time honoured distraction.

      The next fascist they elect will be worse, assuming they even have elections. Why wold anyone trust a country that rips up trade deals and tosses human rights every four years?

      Bold of you to presume that there will ever be another USA presidential election again…
