Predictions for the German Economy Call for No Growth and Blaming Trump

[HotAir] Is there anything that man can't do?

The forecasts are out for the moribund German economy - which suddenly and conveniently no one can remember was already in the toilet and has been circling for the past two years - and darned if they aren't downright gloomy.

I mean, they're coloring it as 'down to zero' when it was only optimistically predicted to come in at around 0.3% growth at its best anyway.

Shave and a haircut difference, but 'nothing, no growth, nada' is pretty dramatic when you've just sold your soul to the European Union for hundreds of billions of euros in debt service to be determined later.

It's a brilliant bunch they have in charge in that country.

Who might that be?

Well, basically the same losers who got them in this pickle to begin with, only their precedence in a governing coalition has been shaken and stirred - that's all.

The so-called 'right-wing' populist party, which came in second place and has been excluded from any say in what happens in Germany, looks more and more like Obi-Wan Kenobi with every round of polling. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) just keeps getting stronger as Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats (CDU) and their coalition partners shiver and stumble along.

Bad enough with all the broken campaign promises about immigration, debt brakes, and such things. Now there's not even a glimmer of hope on the horizon for some sort of economic resurgence to pull the Germans out of their self-induced economic coma.

Did I say self-induced?

Well, we can't have that, nor any accountability for the chaos and misery caused by Germany's dogged pursuit of climate cult madness.

Let's simply say 'Trump did it to them' because you can bet your bippy they will.

Darn Trump.

But deteriorating conditions are also giving rise to fears that the CDU and fellow conspirators may be, in fact, desperate enough to try a move Merz said he wouldn't - banning the populist and very popular AfD.

Blaming Trump isn't going to save them, and antsy coalition members know it.

#1 It is Trumps fault, we all need to recognize that Germany is a shadow welfare state to the US. With the gravy train ending they will slow and fall in growth, to the state where Germany should be. Expect others that suck on the taxpayer dollars to slide as well.
