“P.S. We also don’t eat cats and dogs,” Berlin’s foreign ministry taunts Republican presidential candidate.

Germany’s foreign ministry hit back Wednesday at former U.S. President Donald Trump after he criticized the country’s energy policy at the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump slammed Germany in his closing remarks, claiming Berlin regretted its decision to transition to renewable energy.

But the German foreign ministry took umbrage at that, blasting Trump in an unusually blunt statement on social media.

“Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables,” the ministry wrote. “And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”

      Please don’t refer to trump as the god-emperor. The 40k community has a hard enough rejecting idiots with no media literacy without people helping them associate the 40k world with their conservative delusions

        Too late for that. There are some spectacular images of Trump as the king fascist emperor of man out there with no hint of irony. It’s quite something to see how much people don’t get it.
