The German President further condemned Trump’s fraught relationship with the media as he has referred to many major news outlets as “the enemy of the American people”. The German leader further said that while the United States used to be a “place people longed for” and a “role model”, it currently is not such things. Before Trump was elected, Gauck said he was worried about the country electing the “unpredictable” real estate mogul. Gauck’s successor, former Foreign Minister Steinmeier, has been called the ‘anti-Trump’ for his outspoken criticism of the American leader.
