PROUD GERMAN NATIONALISTS SPENT AGES WRITING SOPPY CARD TO AMERICAN BLOKE
A leaked trove of 420,000-odd emails shows Germany's AfD going to great lengths to court Trump and his Maga mates – including agonising over an obsequious 2016 congratulatory telegram wishing that his 'hopes as a person be fulfilled'. Trump has since repaid the love with a Truth Social post ending 'MGGA!!!'. Nothing says 'fiercely independent nation' quite like a grovelling greetings card to Washington.
