"People Tired Of...": Trump Hails Conservative Wave In German Election

The conservative alliance in Germany secured victory in the national election, with Friedrich Merz set to become the next German chancellor, exit polls showed on Sunday. The result marked a significant shift in the country's political landscape, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which enjoyed the endorsement of prominent US figures including Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and ally of President Donald Trump, making record gains and finishing in second place. US President Trump welcomed the election results, saying the people of Germany have rejected the policies of Olaf Scholz-led centre-left government "lacking common sense." "Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years. This is a great day for Germany," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
