Germans no longer see US as trustworthy partner.

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.
The actual news is that DW parrots the German governments opinion. Which isn't really news either. I dare say that the population in Germany has been "somewhat ambivalent" about the benevolence of US foreign politics for quite a while.

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.
I always tell people it’s overrated and shit for years and Hollywood is selling lies.

Would you Germans like a geologist from the US? I would love to immigrate.
Depends. Are you white?
If not, I sadly can't recommend it. We just elected a Nazi collaborator. -

Just remember, a lot of people here do not agree with this administration…. On another note, If I held dual citizenship for Germany because she was born on a us base there, do I automatically get the opportunity to move to Germany? I know I could look it up, but I’m looking for first hand experiences.

I miss G.W., I thought he would be the worst person ever in power.
G.W. started normalizing a lot of the shit that we see today, like brazen disregard for the truth.
If you miss G.W. Bush then you learned nothing.

Is this site trustworthy? I would recommend an official one:
https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/visa-serviceIt's the website of the German foreign office, so if you're looking for official information, it's as trustworthy as it gets.

Sure, come anytime. There are many foreigners in the south of Germany in particular, and in northern big cities as well. You'll blend right in.

Nor should they.
At this point, the US should get the Russia and North Korea treatment, complete segregation from the civilized world.
"Rogue state"

Well they are not, we should be sending their troops amd ambassadors home.
As for Germany they are undermining the fight for Ukrainian borders because of their love of Russian oil ad gas. If they want the taps back on, they are the untrustworthy partner to Ukraine.

WTF? Are you making that shit up or are you that misinformed?

Germany was very positive and trusting of Obama and the US during that time and we started regaining some trust under Biden, but it definitely never has been the same after Trump first took office
-
Nah, Europe should grow closer and stronger, but we should keep normal relations with the US for now in case Trump steps down in four years. Hurting our own economy to prove a point would be stupid
It is not proving a point, it is a simple matter of risk management. There will eventually be "normal" relationships, like the ones we have with Angola or the Dominican republic. The one we had been having was not "normal" it was based on an excess of trust, and there is not any more left.

Children born in Germany to non-citizens can get German citizenship under certain conditions only since January 2000. I'd assume your mother is older than 25, which means she wouldn't have the right to German citizenship just because she was born in Germany and therefore neither would you. Do you know for a fact that your mother has dual citizenship?

It's so hard for two genocidal fascists to maintain a healthy relationship.

How did she get it? you dont automatically get German citizenship by being born in Germany (as opposed to being born in the USA)

The US government has been conquered by Russia without a single shot fired.
Strange. USA looks the same out my window.

Every president is the worst person in power during their time.
