German press freaking out in shock and horror from Donald Trump’s re-election
German newspaper front covers
The German press appears shocked and horrified about Donald Trump’s re-election. Here is a report from the German Deutsche Welle news about that:
‘The nightmare’: Germany’s media react to Trump’s victory
Updated 7 November 2024
Donald Trump’s US election victory dominated German headlines on Wednesday and Thursday, even as the country faced its own domestic political crisis.
The election was seen as a referendum on issues like migration and economic policy at home, but also pivotal for geopolitical issues around the world.
Germany’s most widely-read tabloid Bild said the election outcome was “the last warning signal for our government”…
An opinion poll held days before the vote found that 74% of Germans supported Kamala Harris whereas only 11% supported Trump.
Yet Trump was “exactly the man that Americans wanted,” according to one of Germany’s newspapers of record, the center-left, Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ).
“They want Trump,” added the US correspondent for the center-left magazine Der Spiegel. …
National broadcaster ARD’s flagship news program, Tagesschau, said on its website that “the outcome of the US election is likely to mean further shocks for German politics.” …
A sense of impending doom
Other newspapers were more blunt. …
Die Zeit, a centrist, weekly paper, also ran an article … {where}
the author compared their experience watching the US election to seeing a mushroom cloud on the horizon.
“When Trump was president last time, he could not stop raving about the size, power and functionality of his red button,” the author added.
On the same website, other articles about Trump’s win had titles including “The nightmare” and “Now he can do what he wants.” https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-media-react-to-donald-trumps-us-election-victory-v2/a-70715243
Yes, the re-election of Donald Trump is causing fear and horror among various ones in Germany–and elsewhere.
The above article translated the headlines of the front covers of the two German newspapers shown at the beginning of this post as ‘All power to Trump’ and ‘The danger in the White House.’
Consider something posted here one day BEFORE the US election in 2016:
If Donald Trump is elected, the Germans will see this as proof that they cannot rely on the USA for their defense, etc. Germany will push for a European army. Some in Europe actually want Donald Trump to win for this basic reason (see ‘Why Europe Secretly Roots For Donald Trump’?). (Thiel B. Germans opposed to Donald Trump, but not too optimistic about Hillary Clinton. COGwriter, November 7, 2016)
Was that confirmed?
Yes.
By November 11, 2016, German leaders did so, with at least one doing so publicly (see Thiel B. As foretold here, more calls for a European army! Guttenberg: ‘There will be a terrible awakening for Europe’. COGwriter, November 11, 2016). In addition, a survey in late December 2016 found that the majority of Germans want to build a formidable European army. (Thiel B. Majority of Germans want a European army. COGwriter, December 30, 2016). In 2017, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe should now longer be naive and rely on others for defense (Thiel B. Donald Trump says he’s a ‘stable genius’ as Europe is driven to arm. COGwriter, January 6, 2018).
Furthermore, in November 2018, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
9:49Could preparations for WWIII began? German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron called for a European army to be independent of the USA and NATO. One of the reasons was to be able to protect against the USA. Is the fourth German reich in progress? What does the Bible teach about Germany, Europe, and WW3? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters in this video.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: Germany and World War 3.
With another Donald Trump term on the horizon, Germany will take more steps!
The Bible shows that Europe will have a great army (Daniel 11:25). Because of Donald Trump and other factors, the Europeans have been taking more steps towards one.
Now there are economic and other concerns in Germany related to Donald Trump. Notice a report from Fortune:
As Germany lurches from crisis to crisis, analysts fear ‘tariff man’ Trump could be 2025’s disaster
November 7, 2024
The German economy has been plagued with economic (and now political) problems in the last few years, and analysts expect that to worsen under President-elect Donald Trump.
The self-proclaimed “tariff man” has repeatedly affirmed plans to impose additional levies of 10-20% across the board and has made no secret of targeting the likes of Germany.
“They don’t take our cars. They don’t take our farm products. They sell millions and millions of cars in the United States. No, no, no, they are going to have to pay a big price,” Trump said at a rally last week, in reference to European countries.
Germany, Europe’s largest economy and one of America’s largest trading partners in the region, exported twice as much to the U.S. as it imported, thanks to Germany’s manufacturing prowess. However, Trump has a problem with that disparity and wants to remedy it.
Analysts expect Trump’s tariff plan to hit Germany particularly hard, with its GDP shrinking 0.6% as a direct result of the tariffs.
“While the 10% across-the-board tariff is a clear risk, our baseline expectation is that Trump imposes a more limited set of tariffs on Europe, including on autos-related imports worth $80bn, worth 0.9% of EU exports,” Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a note Wednesday.
The analysis assumes that European countries, which collectively form the U.S.’s biggest trading partner, will impose retaliatory tariffs of the same level. …
Aggravated trade tensions are the last thing Germany needs right now. While the country is a force to be reckoned with in the region, it’s on the verge of economic decay, impacting its biggest industries as well as political turmoil that’s caused its government to break down. …
For its part, Europe seems to be bracing for Trump 2.0 by finding avenues to strike a deal on exports. The region may have to impose further protective measures to prevent too much of a blow to industries like automobiles, which are the most exposed to U.S. trade. …
“We must be prepared for the U.S. to distance itself further from open, global cooperation,” Lisandra Flach, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, said. “Germany and the EU must now strengthen their position through measures of their own.” https://fortune.com/europe/2024/11/07/germany-crisis-tariffs-trump-2025/
In addition to military steps, Germany will decide it has to take economic steps. But one economic step will include switching from the production of as many consumer items to an increased production of military ones. There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s policies.
Donald Trump’s re-election will be interpreted as another wake-up call for Europe in general, and Germany in particular, to take economic and military steps to be able to function more independently from the United States.
Since the Bible says that will happen (cf. the 13th, 17th, and 18th chapter of the Book of Revelation as well as Daniel 11:39-44 and Isaiah 10:5-11), this may be one of the reasons that God allowed for the re-election of Donald Trump.
That being said, Germany is also currently experiencing a political crisis:
Germany faces sudden turmoil after ruling coalition collapses
November 7, 2024
Germany’s government coalition has collapsed in dramatic fashion after Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the pro-business Free Democrats in a late-night move following a marathon of crisis meetings.
The three remaining ministers of the Free Democrats resigned in response, leading to the downfall of the government coalition. Scholz is expected to lead the country with a minority government, but the opposition is calling for an immediate no-confidence vote.
But early Thursday, Transport Minister Volker Wissing from the Free Democrats unexpectedly took back last night’s resignation and told reporters that after talking to Scholz, he had decided to stay on as minister and leave the party instead. …
Scholz’s left-leaning Social Democrats will now effectively lead a minority government with the remaining coalition partner, the environmentalist Greens. …
Achim Wambach from the Leibniz Center for European Economic Research cast doubt that a prolonged period with a minority government would help Germany’s economy get back on track.
“Germany’s problems are too big to tolerate political gridlock,” the analyst said.
“The government set out to reconcile the transformation towards climate neutrality with economic growth and social security,” the analyst said in a statement. “It has not lived up to this claim. The economy is stagnating and investments are failing to materialize.”
“This daunting task was compounded by geo-economic tensions: wars in Europe and the Middle East as well as economically damaging interventions through tariffs and national subsidy policies,” he added. “ The election of Donald Trump has exacerbated these problems. Europe must do more for its security and will have to reckon with increased tariffs.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/germany-faces-sudden-turmoil-ruling-coalition-collapses-rcna179078
Irrespective of how that ends up, German governmental matters look to also be helping set the stage for a strong man to rise up in Germany.
Remember that when Germany faced massive economic problems after its defeat in WWI, a little known strong man named Adolf Hitler arose.
Back in 2016, the Continuing Church of God put out this sermonette from its ContinuingCOG channel:
Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London, stated that the European Union wanted to be what Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte tried to create. Duncan Smith agreed. But European Council President Donald Tusk called Johnson’s comments absurd and then stated that the EU was the answer to the problems facing Europe. But what does the Bible teach about the future of Europe? Is European unity the answer or will it usher in something worse than Adolph Hitler? Dr. Thiel quotes Jesus and others in the Bible for those who truly want to know what will happen in a unified Europe.
Here is a link to our video: European Unity to be like Hitler?
Another strongman will arise in Germany.
Notice some items from the old Radio/Worldwide Church of God that were published last century related to a coming strong man in Europe (bolding mine):
Watch the emergence of a strong man in West Germany (Hogberg G and Walter EM. NATO at the Crossroads. Plain Truth, May 1969)
The attempt to unify Europe as one economic, military and political power bloc restoring the “Holy Roman Empire,” has been the one aim of all the “great” men who dominated European history from Napoleon’s “Waterloo” until now. Mussolini, dominating Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, Libya, and conquering Ethiopia, did officially name his weak “Empire” the “Roman Empire.” But now the dream of a mighty, powerful, resurrected Roman Empire at last is becoming a hard-driving reality.
… nations of United Europe have succeeded in their aim far beyond the wildest dreams of the original signers of the Treaty of Rome. In far less time, at a far greater pace than anticipated, these nations of Europe have risen from the economic chaos of World War II to the dizzying heights of a standard of living never known to them before! With the present success well beyond the proportions of that expected three years ago, with a future success — in a world of peace — sure to produce a near — utopia, Western Europe is more concerned about war than any other economic and political entity on the face of this earth! “This is very probably the last year in which anyone except Europe will be able to negotiate with the Soviet Union for Europe!” (London Sunday Times). These nations are ENJOYING their economic recovery and they will let nothing stand in its way — they will stop at nothing to keep ‘What they have, and, GO ON TO MORE! SO it is that a blueprint has been drawn up by the Six, that demands meetings among themselves to decide the MILITARY AND FOREIGN POLICY questions that come up regarding Europe! …
“Fascism in Europe is about to be reborn in respectable business attire, and the Treaty of Rome will finally be implemented to its fullest extent.. the dream of a Holy Roman, Empire returning to power to dominate and direct the so-called forces of Christian mankind of the Western world is not dead, but still stalks through the antechambers of every national capital of continental Western Europe… IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE LEADERS IN THE COMMON MARKET NATIONS TO RESTORE THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WITH ALL THAT THAT MEANS!” (Northwest Technocrat, Vol. XXV, No. 205.) United within the ancient boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire; united by the common spiritual bond of universal Catholicism; united in a burgeoning and booming industrial economy that dominates today’s world; united geographically in the most productive and industrial complex of all the earth — at least TEN NATIONS OF MODERN EUROPE WILL MARCH ONTO THE SCENE OF WORLD HISTORY AS THE GREATEST SINGLE HUMAN FORCE EVER SEEN BY MAN! (Hill DJ. What is Germany’s Destiny? Plain Truth, March 1962)
The prophecy of Daniel 11 details events — at that time, still future — from the remaining days of the Medo-Persian empire, through the reign of Alexander the Great and his successors in Syria and Egypt, and on through to the second coming of Christ! Beginning in verse 40 we read of a conflict between two great powers: “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind….”
This is an important “end-time” prophecy. Following the chronological progression of the chapter, it becomes apparent that the phrase “king of the north” had at first referred to Syria under the Seleucid dynasty, and later, in the New Testament times, to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. … Thus, in its final end-time application, the “king of the north” is the prophesied strong man who will lead a coming union of ten European nations — the seventh and final revival of the ancient Roman Empire prophesied by Daniel and in the book of Revelation (see Revelation 17:12-13).
But who is the “king of the south”? In the earlier portions of Daniel 11, the phrase refers without question to ancient Egypt under the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty, later including Ethiopia which was annexed to Egypt. But in verse 40 we skip to “the time of the end” … Its greater fulfillment is yet future! Just as there is yet to be a final “king of the north” — called in Bible symbolism “the beast” — who will arise as superdictator over an end-time European confederation, there may very well emerge in the same manner a final “king of the south” — an overall leader of an Arab-Moslem confederation, possibly even bearing the very title Mahdi! And these two individuals will eventually find themselves in a head-to-head confrontation — possibly over oil — which will ultimately lead to devastating war in the Middle East!
And the Bible?
The Bible clearly shows that a reorganization will come to Europe and power will be given to a dictator:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)
The Bible shows that the European beast leader, also called the King of the North, will arise promising peace.
21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. (Daniel 11:21-23, NKJV)
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
(To prove this leader will be European, please watch the video: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?)
Yes, Germany is in shock because of the re-election of Donald Trump.
Yes, one day Germany, and the rest of Europe, will reorganize and put in a strongman that the Bible refers to as the Beast and the King of the North.
This week’s election results in the United States look to be an impetus for that.
Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled and world events are aligning with them to be fulfilled.
