Trump tops fear list — again

On November 3, US voters will head to the polls to elect a new president or re-elect the old one. For many Germans, a second term for US President Donald Trump would probably be a nightmare.

Trump ranks number one this year on Germans' list of fears at 53%. The US president has topped the R+V fear scale as early as 2018.

Schmidt sees these concerns as "justified," pointing to the trade war with China or verbal attacks on even allied countries like Germany.

"Trump's foreign policy has repeatedly caused serious international entanglements," the political scientist said, adding that Washington also continues to withdraw from international cooperation.

Perhaps Germans have some "unique" insight.

1. So they should.

You can protect yourself from COVID-19.

4. I hope Germany and other Allies of the U.S. watch our back door with the Russian internet attacks...

During the election and pull the plug on Russia to shut them down before they can install their tRUMP ASSet again. Especially with the way tRUMP and Bill Barr have been gutting the NSA and Justice Department to deploy as Bill Barr's SS fantasy.

Of course we will have to watch tRUMP and Bill Barr claiming that there was an attack on the U.S. Election, because a foreign enemy was stopped from making tRUMP the winner again with their own internet attack. There is no doubt in my mind that the dumb fucks would immediately start whining how Russia was prevented from winning the election for tRUMP... They and their trumpanzee (Republicans) brigade would be pissed about being shut down from stealing the election again.
