Three days after the far-right AfD's historic victory in a German regional election, US President Donald Trump congratulated the party, citing voter frustration with immigration rules. The AfD won about 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, compared to 17% for Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU. Trump posted on Truth Social that Germans are "finally fed up" with "horrible" immigration regulations, adding the acronym "MGGA," likely meaning "Make Germany Great Again." The AfD is Germany's main opposition force, and its win has drawn praise from other international leaders. Portuguese party leader André Ventura also hailed the result as a "historic victory," saying Germans are "opening their eyes" against illegal immigration, corruption, and threats to freedom and identity. The election outcome signals growing support for the far-right in Germany.
