Germany's Jens Spahn on the possibility of another Trump presidency and US-German relations |DW News

[@derJackistweg]

Der Spahn schafft es wirklich immer unsympathischer zu werden. Man denkt immer: Es geht nicht mehr schlimmer und dann haut der noch einen raus.

[@ANTheWhizkid]

After his last performance as minister, there’s nothing that I want to hear from this person. In my eyes he was just very bad at what he was doing and not honest.

[@bigpapa1954]

This is the internet, you don't need to be so polite.

[@TheSchuetzeP]

Spahn is just so desperately seeking attention ever since he lost the appointment election for the German conservative party chair.

[@JW-nj4ug]

Reality is sinking in @DW 😂

[@janari64]

😅😅😅

[@inzidenziaschulz7972]

Once upon a time, it was a good news channel.

[@AaronOkeanos]

Wrong Mr. Spahn your most important allies are your european neighbours.

[@derJackistweg]

explain: ...

[@pointblank0020]

This, this, this. Also Mr. Spahn you probably shouldn't be the spokesperson for Germany since you can't even speak english without a heavy accent.

[@porecemusnox8805]

@@pointblank0020 He is not "spokesperson for Germany" - he is a German politician (who currently holds no public office) attending the RNC. Also, when did you last hear a prominent U.S. media figure speak German while being interviewed in German? :p And on a side note: his grammar is a lot more coherent and elaborate compared the two frontrunners for the presidency ... that's quite baffling.

[@porecemusnox8805]

@Drew776655 Explain what you do mean by "largest army" in Europe - since there are only about 100.000 troops stationed throughout Europe. Germany alone entertains about 180.000.

[@DonaldDucksRevenge]

As an American, he spoke English fine. His slight accent was cute. DW's langauge courses I hope are better than its journalism. Then I may speak German at least as well as he does English. The US will be Europe's, and Germany's largest defense partners so long as we see cooperation coming back from the other side.

[@HanneMary]

Wieso der? Kann nicht mal Verantwortung für Entscheidungen während Corona übernehmen aber er weiß jetzt über Amerika Bescheid?

[@AaronOkeanos]

Mr. Spahn should worry a little more about the AfD in Germany or the CDU/CSU will get the same problem the Republican Party got and the Tories in the UK got and the Macron's centrists in France got ... moving into a political vaccum too extreme for the moderates and too moderate for the extremes splitting the party and losing voters to both sides.

[@wolfswinkel8906]

I don't think you have a right to dictate what anyone else does. 😂

[@AaronOkeanos]

@@wolfswinkel8906 True. Still ... ignore this point on your own perill.

[@stevehancock7925]

Finally, someone who lives in the here and now and not fantasy land. Europe needs to become "adults" and do more for their own security. If you didn't learn that yet, then not much US can do for you.

[@HemanshuAmbani]

Don’t be so nervous …it’s true trump won’t provide money for European security

[@Mark-12-31]

What has happened to American wisdom? How can one person change everything the US was doing to keep its enemies as far away as possible?

[@soundofprice]

@@Mark-12-31 Europeans can secure themselves

[@samlatooni]

​@@soundofprice😅😅😅😅 sure you can, BUT with the help of immigrants ONLY!😅😅😅😅

[@tomhenry897]

Pay their own way

[@nolan485]

​@Mark-12-31 You have to look back and research how long the USA has been asking/begging for this. It's not like there have not been any warnings. The man here, who is being criticized in comments, is completely correct and telling the hard truth. Any politician who says otherwise is being deceptive.

[@yunshuiseng8]

A man without shame ...

[@NurseMags]

Der Ton makht die Music, Herr Spahn.

[@CreRay]

So awkward seeing 2 Germans communicate in English:)

[@DonaldDucksRevenge]

Nein, das ist schön.

[@valor8324]

Up to? Ernsthaft? Englisch 3+. Da geht mehr.

[@andrewharvey3282]

America is a nation. Germany is a nation. Those are really the only two nations you need in the west. Get it?

[@goranrajcevic5550]

I don't get it.

[@patrickmccutcheon9361]

No. Please elaborate.

[@markfitzpatrick7186]

This guy is clueless. The US is not on Germany’s side. Test

Has Mr. Spahn relations with the Atlas Foundation?

[@wanaced6]

This GERMAN has a very good grasp of the environment if Trump is elected. I am glad, they are finally taking him serious

[@DonaldDucksRevenge]

German-American friendship, ja. Without the dumb media minders.

[@pitbladdodavid]

Trump the next time won't be treated as much of a joker will he.

[@jimmytimmy3680]

What happened to Nordstream? 😂😂😂😂

[@BrandyHeng007]

Chicken-hearted talking tough 😅

[@unfamiliarenvironments]

I LOL’d when he said the Vance choice might be done as a way to join the country together LMAO - politic speech, don’t gotta love it.

[@markfitzpatrick7186]

Interesting My comments are removed.

[@urbansenicar81]

Secured from what?

[@reddpanda3243]

Herr Spahn is wondering what another trump presidency would look like? Get a book on German History, look at the chapters that cover 1936 to 1945.

First we need to know, whether Jens Spahn is a man or woman? German ID cards do not specify that... 😄
