Dude does not understand how german elections work lmao. Nobody won that election, the conservatives got 28% of the vote. There will be at least a 3 party coalition and things could become pretty complicated.

Nah, they won. And there will probably be a Union-SPD or Union-AfD coalition.

I've also read that the other parties have stated that they will not form a coalition with th AfD, so Trump's friends will not have a seat at the table.

Yeah, well Merz is a special kind of person so I wouldn't hold my breath for that promise "not to form a coalition" with the AfD. Let's see what the next weeks bring.

Don't kid yourself, the future chancellor and former blackrock executive is very well connected with the capital.

Merz already tried to form a majority for a vote in the parliament with the AfD, just a few weeks ago. There might not be a coalition, but I expect them working together.

They'll still have way too many in parliament though. :(
