Germans no longer see US as trustworthy partner.

I miss G.W., I thought he would be the worst person ever in power.
Remember the innocent days when we thought W was incredibly dumb?

He was dumb. And a war criminal. The current mess doesn't change that.

Yes, but he can't be called "incredibly dumb" anymore, because the level of stupidity that is possible, and therefore credible, has been raised by quite a margin with Trump's appearance.

No but it does diffuse it a bit.
It's like holding the land speed record in 1911.

No surprise really. This is from 2019
https://www.reuters.com/article/world/nicht-gut-nearly-85-percent-of-germans-see-us-german-ties-as-negative-idUSKCN1PX1C6/Otoh, things have rather dramatically turned around on at least two fronts:
[...] Donald Trump, who has criticized Germany repeatedly for its [...] participation in the Russian-led Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
[...] only 1.9 percent worried about Russia[n influence] [...]

I think Trump is smarter than Bush.

The response to Donald Trump's policy initiatives, the fate of Ukraine, and the issue of massive investment and record debt are on German voters' minds two weeks after the federal election.
Would you Germans like a geologist from the US? I would love to immigrate.

Pretty sure that Bush never would have boasted about his ability to memorize "Person, woman, man, camera, TV" or called himself a "stable genius". The guy is Dunning-Krugering along and listening to vile gut feelings.

Or a buyer for medical devices? I even work for a German company. Maybe I can transfer.

One good thing that might come out of all of this, is that USA people might stop being so annoying about how great and perfect their country supposedly is whenever you talk to them. Every time i hear someone chanting "USA, USA" i fell like whacking them with a bat.

To be honest, I'm surprised they still did after 2016.

Understandable. I cannot think of less trustworthy people than each of the people put into power for this administration.

I mean all of my family and friends are here.
Other than like great great grandparents that own rural bakeries and are like 107 nobody is in Germany.
If shit really hits the fan we might dip. My little sister is thinking about going there for college but she's not comfortable with the amount of German she knows. She's conversationally sufficient but she doesn't speak it well enough for academic purposes according to my mother.
I have no idea because my mom didn't teach me or my older brother any German lol.

Picking up a new language is not that difficult if you are still young, know the basics and then live in an environment that speaks this language.
