Trump Praises AfD Win in German State Election

U.S. President Donald Trump attributes the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election to Germany's immigration policies. In a Truth Social post, Trump praised the AfD's success, writing that the party had grown tired of "totally terrible immigration rules" and used the slogan "MMGA" (Make Germany Great Again). The AfD secured nearly 44 percent of the vote, far ahead of other parties, but lacks three seats for a majority in the state assembly. Top candidate Ulrich Siegmund is seeking a stable majority to lead a state government and sees an opening among conservative CDU politicians. Meanwhile, BSW leader Sahra Wagenknecht has not ruled out cooperation with the AfD on shared issues, despite the "firewall" agreement among major parties to block the AfD from power.
