I mean, the guy broke his biggest election promise – no new debt – somehow already before he was officially in charge.
And despite having this extra money, it feels like complete stagnation. He just continually says the lazy workers should be working more, like yeah, man, you did not need to be elected to say that.

Then there's been various scandals, from him saying racist shit to him offending 3 foreign nations on separate occasions. Possibly more, I've lost count.

And in recent weeks, his government has started dismantling our solar industry, just as Iran got attacked and our oil prices jumped quite a bit.
They also seem to not want to back down from those plans, even though that's the second war in recent years that showed how problematic our dependence on foreign nations for fossil fuel is. Like, it really does not feel like this is in anyone's interest, just their lobbyists'.

Merz is a company man first and foremost, BlackRock is the only constituent he has.
