Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt: Trump gratuliert AfD – Bewegung „im Aufwind“
Immer wieder kritisiert US-Präsident Trump Deutschland für seinen Umgang mit Migranten. Die AfD scheint er dabei auf seiner Seite zu sehen. Zu deren jüngstem Erfolg schickt er Glückwünsche.
In the aftermath of the landmark election in Sachsen-Anhalt, US President Donald Trump extended his congratulations to the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, describing it as a "really big night" for the populist party. According to Trump's post on Truth Social, the AfD secured 43.8% of the votes, narrowly missing out on an absolute majority.
While the Republican president did not explicitly name the AfD, his message was unmistakably clear, stating that the party had grown tired of the "absolutely terrible immigration rules." Trump further added that the AfD and its supporters were "in the ascendancy" and would not "take it anymore." The final line of his post, "MGGA!!!", was interpreted as a shortened version of "Make Germany Great Again," echoing his previous campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA).
Prior to this, Trump had circulated a graphic on Truth Social depicting the projected results of the landtag election, but did not offer any commentary on the outcome.
