Major German News Outlet Prints Trump Headline That Would Never Be Printed in America.

*One major German news outlet called Spiegel published a story authored by Klaus Brinkbäumerhich which calls Trump a “danger to the world” in his piece called: “It’s Time to Get Rid of Donald Trump- A Danger to the World.

Brinkbäumerhich says “Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.”'>>>

too many politicians have cultivated anti-intellectualism and even pride in ignorance for Trump's lack of reading and study for his job to hurt him.

CNN international is much more concise and does real journalism.

They've been telling the truth all along. How can we have a democracy without a free media?

It will take other western countries to point out and take him down. People in power here are too blinded or impotent.

And corporations only care about maximizing profit.

That requires constantly entertaining Americans mass commercialized their entire lives with media that appeals to dopamine receptors and pleasure centers, not their intellect. Except for a few exceptions, the news coverage is so shallow its now not much different than an shallow informercial.

That's one reason why American voters can elect a pitchman with no qualifications.

Separate from racist or other reasons Trump was elected, the bottom line is a public fed news by unqualified, moronic anchors who entertain them with shallow commercial garbage "news", watching mindless tv crap their whole lives, are prone to elect a president who can entertain and pitch well like Trump.
