German political leaders are expressing serious concerns about the potential election of Donald Trump, labeling him as unpredictable and a right-wing extremist. Norbert Röttgen of the CDU warns that a Trump victory could harm Western geopolitical influence and lead to a detrimental deal with Vladimir Putin regarding Ukraine. Former SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel echoes these sentiments by criticizing Trump for being insulting and destructively altering the Republican Party. Amid these remarks, Michael Roth emphasizes the unpredictability of American voting compared to authoritarian regimes where outcomes are often predetermined.
