Astrid Lund - Betty MacDonald fan club organizer: "Neither the Germans nor the Europeans think that the U.S. is stupid. Quite the opposite! This is another one of those malicious lies that Donald Trump spreads about other countries!" Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel: "Terminator" Arnold Schwarzenegger supports Kamala Harris. Every reasonable person in the world agrees with Arnold Schwarzenegger wholeheartedly: 'Donald Trump attempted a coup by misleading people with lies. He is a failed leader. Donald Trump will go down in history as the worst president.' Why? Donald Trump always puts his ego and his own well-being far above that of his country and the world!"------------ Wolfgang Hampel, author of "Satire is my favorite animal", according to many critics and readers worldwide one of the most humorous books of all time, two-time Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner, winner of the SWR Ingrid Noll competition, TV, radio, press reviews and famous fans--------- ntv.de Memories of Angela Merkel: Trump on the Germans: "Think we are stupid" 3 hours • 3 minutes reading time Donald Trump remembers an encounter with Angela Merkel during the presidential election campaign. He puts forward a theory as to why the Germans do not love him. Donald Trump demanded Angela Merkel to pay, he said at the meeting in Lititz. The former US President Donald Trump spoke about his difficult relationship with Germany at a campaign appearance. "They didn't love me, and I have roots there," said the Republican in Lititz in the US state of Pennsylvania. Kallstadt in Rhineland-Palatinate is the hometown of Trump's paternal ancestors. Instead, the Germans loved his predecessor in the White House, the Democrat Barack Obama. "You know why? Because they ate our lunch," said the Republican presidential candidate for the election on Tuesday, referring, among other things, to the fact that Germany had allegedly been successful at the expense of the USA. Trump then spoke about the then German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "They didn't love me because I said: You have to pay. You have to pay, I said to Angela. Angela, you didn't pay." Presumably Trump was referring here to Germany's defense spending with a view to NATO commitments. Imitating a kind of German accent, the Republican finally said that "Angela" had told him that Germany would pay until 2035. "They think we are stupid people." Donald Trump stirs up fear of the press and election fraud Trump also addressed the media representatives present in his speech - albeit mockingly. "I have this pane of glass here," said the Republican, looking at a glass wall on the podium. This construction is intended to better protect him from potential attackers during appearances after the assassination attempt on him in July. He then turned to the press present and said: "What we have over there is the fake news." Amid cheers from the audience, Trump continued: "And to get me, someone would have to shoot through the fake news. And that doesn't bother me so much. It doesn't bother me." Trump regularly calls the media "enemies of the people" and threatens journalists he doesn't like. Trump also used his appearance in Pennsylvania to stir up fears of election fraud without any evidence. The 78-year-old warned of a "bunch of fraudsters" who wanted to challenge his victory in Tuesday's election. "With paper ballots, you would have the answer at nine o'clock in the evening. It's a damn shame and I'm the only one talking about it," he continued. Machines should never be used in the election, there should only be paper ballots. In the past, Trump has repeatedly linked voting machines to fraud without providing any evidence. Trump's propaganda is systematic. He is probably using these claims to prepare for the event of a defeat against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. The two are roughly neck and neck in the polls - it looks like a close race. It is considered likely that the result of the US election will not be known in the hours after the polls close. In particular, postal votes are delaying the counting process in some states. In US history, there have been more elections in which the winner was only decided after days. Four years ago, Trump spent days fueling false claims of election fraud while the count dragged on in several states. Trump on 2020 election defeat: "Shouldn't have gone" Trump further stated that he regretted his departure from the White House after his 2020 election defeat.
