    As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.

      As an American, we get it. If I were “x-American” I would too. Pretty embarrassed to be American at this point. I think a lot of us are and have been since 2016.

      It’s some kind of weird delusion that large swathes of Americans have that can watch this man ramble on about absolutely nothing and very clearly spout lies every time he opens his mouth and think he’s fit to be the “leader of the free world”.

      You’re still American though… if you go abroad and tell people you’re German, you’re going to be giving a world of false assumptions. Why would it be any different on the internet?

      Unfortunately Germany does not permit dual-nationality with a country outside the EU.
