German Press

  If Trump thinks he's getting bad press in the USA, he might want to start looking at what European countries are writing.

Spiegel.de: Trump as Nero - Europe Must Defend Itself Against A Dangerous President - The United States president is becoming a danger to the world. It is time for Germany and Europe to prepare their political and economic defenses. A DER SPIEGEL Editorial By Klaus Brinkbäumer
It is literally painful to write this sentence, but the president of the United States is a pathological liar. The president of the U.S. is a racist (it also hurts to write this). He is attempting a coup from the top; he wants to establish an illiberal democracy, or worse; he wants to undermine the balance of power. He fired an acting attorney general who held a differing opinion from his own and accused her of "betrayal." This is the vocabulary used by Nero, the emperor and destroyer of Rome. It is the way tyrants think.

Take it from those that know what having a tyrant as your "leader" is like. The German's see scary echoes in the way Donald is acting.

He's acting like a maniac and he doesn't have an ounce of self reflection in him that makes him pause and think, WTF is wrong. He's a paralyzed individual, not a scintilla of anything reflecting admirable traits. Nothing. He's a nothing. He's trading away his entire humanity in order to be fabulously wealthy and self indulgent.
