Ever since taking office as German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz’s popularity has only fallen.

That’s hardly surprising, since he is pushing for the same failed Globalist policies as his predecessor Olaf Scholz, and is leading a country with a stagnant economy and a fractured society due to unchecked mass migration.

Merz’s numbers are a record low: a mid-April poll shows only 18% of voters are satisfied with his work, while as much as 80% are dissatisfied. Even the majority of Merz voters are reportedly unhappy.

And, as Merz completes one year as Chancellor, he has also gotten himself into some heavy transatlantic trouble.

“Chancellor Friedrich Merz marks a year in office this week facing the biggest crisis with Washington in decades, after​President Donald Trump said he would hit European auto imports with 25% tariffs and pull thousands of troops out of Germany.

The moves, announced on Friday after Trump reacted angrily to criticism by ‌Merz of U.S. strategy in the Iran war, underline the break in transatlantic relations that has become increasingly apparent in Trump’s second term and add to an array of problems now facing the German leader.”

“In an interview with German public television on Sunday, Merz, who was sworn into office​on May 6 last year, acknowledged public doubts, reflected in opinion polls that now put the far-right Alternative for Germany ahead of his conservatives as the country’s most popular party.
