The German government is currently is something of a crisis, with the CDU and CSU talking about splitting, which would force new elections, over the migration issue, so Trump's not wrong that there is a lot of anger in Germany over the government policies on migration.


Before anyone gets into this discussion, I think it'd help your image a lot if you were willing to condemn Trump over the crime rate lie first.


I don't think so. If anyone has data since, say, 2011, covering the period since the refugee crisis in Europe started, that would allow us to decide if the gist of Trump's statements is true or not. That the crime rate among non-Germans fell from 2016 to 2017 is itself far from sufficient, as Trump made no claims with that degree of specificity. I'm also pretty sure that the majority of non-Germans in Germans are citizens of other EU countries and not refugees. The EU has free movement of its citizens after all.
