Most accurate news report I’ve seen in a while.

Ich habe es live gehört und fast einen Lachanfall bekommen !

[pommesschale]

I see German Grimme-Preis for outstanding journalism incoming!

I've been in Germany 1 year. And I've been working with Germans for over a decade. Their brutal honesty, lucidity of communication and the beauty of the language never fails to impress and leave me with a smile. ( I'm ROFLMAO)

"Sag mal wie lange wollt ihr bei dem Scheiße bleiben hier?"

Mind you Germans don't spare anyone in their views, from their Grandmother to Donald Trump everyone hears exactly what is going on in their mind.( No filters applied)

Not only the words themselves but also the tone of delivery are very funny. A perfect moment. :- )

Give that man the Pulitzer prize. That was the most accurate reporting/ analysis of the situation I have heard.😂

[quantillaprudentia]

[branjosnow]

Well said, we're all thinking the same thing.

Thank you this was a haertwarming comment. Promote that guy ❤

Imagine studying a foreign language and then to have translate incoherent rambling on the level of a fourth grader. The reaction surely wasn´t professional but by all means understandable and relatable.

[seamanjive]

And this is exactly how every journalist that Trump hasnt bought should be treating him.

[andreeholstein]

Jede Wahrheit braucht ein mutigen, der sie ausspricht

[thinginajar]

That's what we're all thinking mate and it's only been a week 😆

[PeterLGଈ]

Exactly what the rest of us are asking the USA 😂
