‘Trump Shock': European Media in Meltdown Over Trump's Victory

The poor darlings.

[LegalInsurrection] The European mainstream media is in a meltdown this morning after President Donald Trump’s historic victory in the U.S. election.

"Why do they vote for Trump?" the leading German news Tageszeitung asked. How could the majority of American voters "support a man like Trump, who insults political opponents, offends allied countries, questions the electoral system, and also advocates anti-worker policies?" the newspaper wondered.

"On paper, the Democrats’ program for the middle class is better than the Republicans’. But why are the Democrats receiving less and less support from this group?" the clueless German daily asked.

German magazine Der Spiegel covered the news with the headline "The Trump Shock."

"After Donald Trump’s election victory, the U.S. is facing a political turning point," the weekly added.

The German establishment fears that Trump will make them pay more for their own defense and raise tariffs to drive down the massive trade deficit. "What will happen" when Trump enters the White House?" the German weekly Der Stern asked Wednesday.

"68 percent of people in Germany fear Donald Trump’s election victory. Because, unlike Kamala Harris, he is threatening major changes in how he deals with Germany," the weekly worriedly, though rightly, concluded.

Even while reporting Trump’s historic comeback, the BBC couldn’t refrain itself from calling the incoming U.S. president a ’convicted felon’ and accused him of having ’extreme ideas.’

"It’s not hard to see why he is a deeply polarising figure," the UK broadcaster commented. "Throughout the campaign, Trump used incendiary rhetoric — making crass jokes and threatening vengeance against his political enemies."

The British newspaper Guardian sounded heartbroken while reporting on Kamala Harris’ election night watch party on the Howard University campus in Washington. "The Scene at Howard University had echoes of Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016 as the US appears poised to return Trump to power," the newspaper sobbedly recalled.

"The crowd that gathered was excited. The music pulsed. Members of Harris’s AKA sorority, wearing pink and green, danced together," the Guardian noted. "As Donald Trump began to carve out an expected early lead on Tuesday evening, jitters set in."
EUrope is the Vatican of Globalism - an ideology whose ultimate goal (IMO) is extinction of the Human race.

#5 They don't understand us. Of, course the neo-commies in charge at the DNC don't either. Here's a hint - either learn from this deficit or continue to be hampered by it.

Let me provide a little hint. 'American' culture has deep roots in its development as a 'frontier' nation. Unlike Europeans, there is still enough of us around who do not believe that government is the answer to every problem. The old phrase - if you are not the solution, you are the problem.
