A Merkel ally slammed Trump's 'awful' attempts to stop election counts as a German minister warned of an 'explosive' crisis in the US

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Senior German politicians spoke out after Trump falsely claimed he had won the election and sought to stop election counts.that Trump's behaviour "really is unbelievable and it's really with great sadness to many, many Germans to witness this behaviour."

He said: "I also have to say it is without any surprise. I have always said, and I was not the only man in Germany , that if and when we are going to see a tight election result, we are going to see a fight with all means by the president and it will start with a claiming of victory before votes have been counted.

Röttgen told CNN that he believed Trump's "awful" behaviour would not overwhelm the US election process but warned that his supporters may deploy actions "which are beyond the democratic process." Trump supporters have been filmed gathering outside polling stations in key battleground states, urging local officials to both continue and stop counting votes, depending on whether Trump was leading or trailing.

"So I have full trust despite this, I have to say, awful behaviour we are forced to witness and which will perhaps lead Americans and supporters of Donald Trump, who believe in his words and say 'yes, this is a fraud of our democracy, a betrayal of the democratic victory,' to means and actions which are beyond the democratic process.

Stay out of this Germany

yea, it's 'awful' when someone fights to ensure that an election is free and fair... I'm gonna guess that Merkel has already outlawed such conduct in Germany.

Tell the Germans to zip it before we party like its 1945.

The entire World is feeling the same way - well all your old allies anyway
