NATO At War As Trump Takes Oath | Germany Gets Anti-U.S Hours Ahead of Trump Inauguration | Watch

German Ambassador Andreas Michaelis has allegedly cautioned Berlin that Donald Trump’s second term could undermine democracy in the US. In a confidential cable, Michaelis reportedly claimed Trump might centralize power, redefine the First Amendment, and misuse the media and law enforcement for political purposes. He also warned about potential domestic military deployment to fulfill campaign pledges. The cable highlights fears of diminished checks and balances, as Trump’s actions spark global concern, with allies like Elon Musk accused of fueling extreme right movements in Europe and the US. #DonaldTrump #TrumpInauguration #USPolitics #GermanEnvoy #DemocracyThreat #MediaControl #FirstAmendment #MilitaryUse #BigTech #Trump2025 #GlobalPolitics #FreedomOfPress #CongressPower #LawEnforcement #AndreasMichaelis #ElonMusk #ExtremeRight #TrumpPolicies #USGermanyRelations #PoliticalPower Also Read Donald Trump’s Family Tree: Meet His Parents, Siblings, And Get A Glimpse of His Wife & Children :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-s-family-tree-meet-his-parents-siblings-and-get-a-glimpse-of-his-wife-children-4047651.html?ref=DMDesc From WWE To White House: President-Elect Donald Trump’s Decades-Long Ties With World Of Wrestling :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-wwe-to-white-house-president-elect-donald-trump-s-decades-long-ties-with-world-of-wrestling-4047601.html?ref=DMDesc Melania Trump Set To Redefine First Lady Role In Second Term: 'I Know Where I’ll Be Going :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trump-redefines-first-lady-role-second-term-independence-business-ventures-global-influence-4047547.html?ref=DMDesc
