‘Trump Sowed the Seeds’: German Media Blames Trump For Assassination Attempts

‘Trump Sowed the Seeds’: German Media Blames Trump For Assassination Attempts

German newspaper Weser-Kurier: “Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump within two months – violence in the U.S. seems to be escalating. The candidate himself planted the seeds for this.”

Hours after a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump in Florida, the European — particularly German — media outlets were back to their vicious self, blaming the former U.S. president for the second attempt on his life within just two months.

“The right-wing rhetoric threatens everyone,” leading German newspaper Die Tageszeitung declared in its headline reporting the thwarted assassination attempt.

Leading German newspapers, never shying away from stoking anti-Trump sentiment in the country, portrayed the former U.S. president as the real culprit.

“After the first assassination attempt on his life, former President Trump said the divisive rhetoric had to stop. Does anyone remember this? Exactly.” the newspaper wrote feigning irony.

The newspaper apparently showed empathy for the supposed ‘worries’ of the failed assassin if Trump were to win the election in November.

“Perhaps [the would-be assassin] was really worried that under a second Trump presidency the U.S. would simply abandon Ukraine,” Die Tageszeitung speculated. “But at least the concern about Ukraine’s future after Trump’s re-election is real and shared by Ukraine itself and its allies in Europe,” the newspaper empathized.

President Trump himself “sowed the seeds” for two attempted assassinations against himself, the German newspaper Weser-Kurier suggested.

“Donald Trump sowed the seeds,” the North German daily wrote. “Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump within two months – violence in the U.S. seems to be escalating. The [Republican] candidate himself planted the seeds for this,” U.S.-based German columnist Thomas Spang claimed.

UK’s Guardian: Trump could ‘adopt language of victimhood’

The left-wing British newspaper Guardian worried that the former U.S. president, a victim of two attempted assassinations, could actually “adopt the language of victimhood,” thereby taking the wind out of the Democrats’ sails.

“Democrats talk about Trump as a threat to democracy, but he has been the target of violence and can adopt the language of victimhood,” the newspaper complained.

“Democrats face a dilemma about how to effectively campaign against a candidate who has been the target of violence and who continues to claim that the other side’s rhetoric is inciting that violence,” the UK daily lamented.

Gas lightning. ‘Do you see what you made me do? I don’t want to do.these things to you but you keep asking for it.’ Says every abuser in every relationship.

    Well, Der Fuhrer’s propaganda machine blamed the holocaust on the Jews. That’s Germany for you.

    Speaking of gaslighting, it looks like Germany and America, to name a few, are preparing the gas lighting of the furnaces once again.

They must also believe a woman that dresses sexy is asking to be raped.

    Homeless “bag ladies” don’t keep themselves as dirty and unattractive as possible because they want to. It’s a practical defense against rape.

    Of course they are. Ask any Muslim that forces women to cover every inch of their body. Can’t have wicked men looking at those wrists and ankles, can we?

I’m wondering who actually cares about what two lefty European rags say about Trump and “right wingers.”
I know I don’t.

    Th AfD party that German govt and ruling class seeks not just to undermine/delegitimize but to cast aside their electoral victories or perhaps even outlaw.

      The German elites are fighting a losing battle trying to demonize and outlaw AfD. Each successive “migrant” outrage or atrocity moves the German public a bit more to the right.
      German elites have driven their country, once the best economy in Europe, into the ditch.

    Germany is a piss poor ally and they should be treated as such.

BigRosieGreenbaum | September 17, 2024 at 5:39 pm

Oh look who has a some propaganda to broadcast. Abusive aren’t they?

Leftists, Dhimmi-crats and Islamofascists/Muslim supremacists can do no wrong.

That’s the German media’s line, and, they’re sticking to it.

    That will last as long as it takes for a certain oppressive culture to have a majority invade their country, and the days of the Third Reich will look like a garden party.

The Germans probably said the same thing about the Jews in the lead up WWII: “Well, they brought Kristallnacht upon themselves. We had no choice but to put them in ‘work camps.’ “

Public: C’mon FBI do the thing. Do the thing! Do it.
FBI: Yes, He was on our radar.

Stolen from Brandon Herrera gun meme video comments. Too good.

Germany can shut up. They recently sentenced a woman to prison for “insulting” a rapist, and gave her a longer sentence than the rapist.

“Democrats talk about Trump as a threat to democracy, but he has been the target of violence and can adopt the language of victimhood,” the newspaper complained.
“Democrats face a dilemma about how to effectively campaign against a candidate who has been the target of violence and who continues to claim that the other side’s rhetoric is inciting that violence,” the UK daily lamented.

Translation: Damn truth makes our gaslighting job too hard!

“The right-wing rhetoric threatens everyone,” leading German newspaper “Die Tageszeitung” declared in its headline reporting the thwarted assassination attempt.”

For Non-Germans: die “Tageszeitung” (or “TAZ”) is a more or less left-wing radical daily newspaper, which will stop its paper edition end of this year due to declining readership – as more than 1/3 of their subscribers cancelled their subscriptions within recent months (while no company wants to place ads anymore). A right leaning weekly newspaper just published the eMail from the CEO to their employees, which starts with:”Dear comrades, (…)”…

Meanwhile, in the German state of Brandenburg, the AfD is on track to become the largest party in the regional parliament. I can’t imagine why…..

This is telling. What the left wing (domestic and foreign) media is saying is that “anyone unstable enough to think like we do is unstable enough to commit political violence and assassinations.” This may mark a high water point of leftist self-awareness and honesty..

I’m not taking advice from either of these rags. Germany has ruined its economy over trying to be woke, and the UK wants to extradite foreign citizens for hate speech–they need to clean up their own messes before they criticize ours
