A lot of the opinions expressed in the thread seem quite strange strange. Germans don't like sweets? There are entire walls of sweets at Aldi and Lidl. I buy 1kg bags of Haribo bears there. Speedos? Maybe you are thinking of Poland. Germans just go nude.

Crazy isn't it... for some reason I have yet to find a German adult that likes cake icing American style... thick and sweet.

I guess there must be donut shops in Germany... maybe around US Bases?

Along the Chiemsee I have yet to see nude Germans older than toddlers... where are the FKK family swim strands open to all?

Same for the Salzkammergut...

Are you thinking of Germans on holiday like Ibiza?

Why not, it's pretty much a bigger, smarter, faster, more innovative and geographically diverse version of Austria filled with people who understand the importance of Manufacturing like Trump.

No, I am thinking of the Stranbad Grünau. Ibiza tourist beaches have no nudity, although there are dedicated nude beaches. Contrary to American stereotypes, Spaniards are conservative and prudish compared to Germans.

Frankly, I don't care about your assessment of Austria. It's not like you actually know what you are talking about.

I just thought it's cute that you think The Donald will improve the relationship between Germany and the US. Perfect display of the naivety of Trumpists.

Trump's ancestors came from Germany. He understands the country and they do him

Wait, you really think that Drumpf understands Germany, because his ancestors lived there before 1885? It's getting better and better.

I have a limited number of colleagues from the time I worked there...

Everyone has opinions about US Presidents.

Carter was liked by far in my circle and Reagan not so much...

People went crazy for Obama back in the day... exuberance would be a good description.

Clinton was the butt of many jokes and the Bushes, especially Bush 43 was not liked at all.

I was in Salzburg when Reagan visited and Air Force one was sitting on the tarmac... it was very impressive... at least for me... just seeing it right there... he opened a US embassy in Salzburg.

I did ask why people liked Carter so much... the common response was he came across as honest, sincere and believe it or not got extra points for being a farmer and engineer...

I asked why people didn't like Reagan and the common response I heard everywhere was he was a cowboy and then there was the actor background.

The sad thing is just about every single man, woman and child in Germany can name US Presidents and the reverse is not even close.

Bigger? yes.
Otherwise no.
And no, Trump would worsen relations with Germany and the rest of Europe. He is a disgrace for America.

Your problem is that you are so extreme right-wing that everything left from NPD or AFD is extreme left-wing for you.
Watching your YT videos, I would be scared if I had to live in a town where people like you are common. I definitely prefer the presence of refugees and immigrants over the presence of right-wing extremist.
