Indeed Trump has fulfilled the Kremlin's wet dream of creating a rift in NATO and helping to weaken the EU. As a lot of Germans have quite problematic memories about Russia's intention towards Western Europe and are scratching their heads about American foreign policies since Bush jr., the Orange One has become the perfect example of what not to like at this point in history. Especially as in the collective memory of Germans the times of hyper-inflation and several econmoic crisis before WWII are only dormant and they see in Trump a man who could set the house on fire through his policies of giving Wallstreet a free reign again. Germans believe they are living in "interesting times" - and they don't like it a bit.
