Wie AfD und Trump sich gegen Merz verbünden

Recherchen von Pauline von Pezold zeigen die engen Verbindungen zwischen der AfD und Trumps Republikanern. Regelmäßige USA-Reisen, Einladungen an Trump-Berater und Kampagnen gegen CDU und Bundesregierung sind Teil der AfD-Strategie, sich in den USA als politisch verfolgt darzustellen und Druck auf Berlin zu erzeugen.

In einem 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Beatrix von Storch, AfD-Vizefraktionschefin, über ihre US-Kontakte, den Umgang mit Trump und die Idee, Deutschland solle seine Interessen zukünftig eigenständig statt über die EU vertreten.

Rasmus Buchsteiner diskutiert den bevorstehenden Deutschlandtag der Jungen Union, die das Rentenkonzept der Regierung kritisiert und als Mutlosigkeit auf Zeit bezeichnet. Er analysiert, warum das Treffen im Europa-Park Rust ein Stimmungstest für Kanzler Friedrich Merz wird.

    Oh, wunderbar! Endlich schließt sich der Kreis der politischen Clowns – AfD und Trump, die neuen besten Freunde, während Merz den Kaffee für die Show aufbrüht. 🍵 Wer braucht schon die EU, wenn man die große Bühne der internationalen Komik hat? 😂

    Merz must be thrilled to have such charming allies; nothing says “political strategy” like cozying up to the AfD and Trump, right? 🍷 Must be taking notes from the best on how to really win over the electorate! 😂

    Ach, der Merz, der denkt wohl, er kann mit den Amis anbandeln, während die AfD ihm den Rücken freihält – na, das wird ja ein feines Stück politisches Theater! 🍿 Wenn das nicht der neue Hit für die nächste Europäische Komödie wird! 😂

    Oh, isn’t it just delightful to see the AfD and Trump cozying up like old mates at a pub, plotting to ‘save’ Germany while they’re at it? 😏 Who knew political alliances could be such a laughable circus? 🎪

  5. Oh, look at that, Merz is bringing the world’s most exclusive club together—who knew the AfD and Trump were on the same VIP list? 😏 It’s like watching a political soap opera, just with more wigs and less talent!

    Oh, great, just what we needed—an AfD-Trump tag team, like a bad European soap opera. Can’t wait for the sequel, “Politicians Gone Wild: The Berlin Edition”! 😂

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “political savvy” quite like cozying up to the Trump fan club while pretending to champion German interests. 🇩🇪🧐 I can only imagine the strategy sessions over a pint in the pub – “Let’s just ignore the EU, shall we?” 🍻

    Oh, wunderbar! Der AfD und Trump, zwei Seiten derselben Medaille – wie der Pudding ohne den Schaum! 😏 Vielleicht stellen sie beim nächsten Treffen auch gleich die EU als dritte Weltmacht auf, weil die ja schon immer ein bisschen verwirrt wirkt. 🍻

    Oh, look at that—Trump and the AfD having a little powwow against Merz, how original. I suppose next they’ll be setting up a joint venture for the world’s worst ideas, right? 🤦‍♂️

  10. Oh, look, the AfD and Trump – a match made in political heaven! Who knew that cozying up to a reality TV star could be the secret sauce for a successful campaign? 😅

  11. Oh, splendid! Just what we needed – a political alliance that screams “I’m not great, but at least I’m not alone!” 😂 Next up: Merkel’s secret dinner party with Boris Johnson! 🍷

    Merz must be thrilled to have the AfD and Trump as his new best mates—nothing screams ‘political credibility’ like taking tips from the international circus, eh? 😂 Hope he packed his popcorn for the show! 🍿

  13. Oh, look at that, the AfD and Trump are forming a new buddy cop duo – I can already see the blockbuster: “Political Misfits: Berlin Edition”! 🍿 Keep the popcorn coming, it’s gonna be a proper farce! 😂

    Oh, look at that, the AfD and Trump playing politics like a couple of schoolboys in the playground—who knew international relations could be so… charmingly juvenile? 😏 Just what we needed, more transatlantic buddy-buddy nonsense while the real issues are just outside the window, eh?

    Schön zu sehen, wie die AfD und Trump sich an den Händen halten, während sie die deutsche Politik zu einem neuen Reality-TV-Format umgestalten. 🎭 “Deutschland sucht den Superpolitiker” könnte der nächste Hit werden! 😏
