Trump Cheers Far-Right Party While Apparently Forgetting WWII Happened
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump praised Germany’s far-right AfD party on September 6 for their 44% win in Saxony-Anhalt elections.
- •Chancellor Friedrich Merz postponed a call with Trump following the post, criticizing the AfD’s extremist positions.
- •The AfD challenges Holocaust remembrance culture, alarmingly rising despite Germany’s postwar safeguards against extremism.
On a Tuesday perfectly designed for awkwardness, President Trump congratulated Germany’s far-right AfD—the party grappling with a 'guilt cult' called Holocaust remembrance and comparing Nazis to ‘bird poop’—on their record 44% election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, almost ruining Germany’s ‘no far-right power’ club since 1945. Trump’s cryptic ‘MGGA!!!’ (Make Germany Great Again) left the White House silent on which era of German ‘greatness’ he was referring to—because apparently, people forgot what happened last time someone promised German grandeur. Chancellor Friedrich Merz postponed a call with Trump, hinting that foreign friends insulting your country’s painful past is a call refusal-worthy offense. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, apparently Germany’s unofficial political adviser, tweeted his seal of approval, and Trump’s allies insist the AfD is just misunderstood history enthusiasts.

(1 of 3)Only Trump could throw a homecoming party for a far-right German party that literally downplays Nazis and have everyone suddenly questioning their World History classes.
When your historic ignorance runs so deep, you make ‘Make America Great Again’ look like a well-researched thesis statement.
Trump backing a far-right German party is like endorsing a diet by a guy who just ordered three cheeseburgers.
