There is a lot of talk about Trump's defeat. "The End Begins for an 80-Year-Old Real Estate Tycoon"

"It'll all be over soon"

The weekly "Die Zeit" in an article entitled "His political end is near" assessed that the defeat of the Republicans can be attributed to one man: Donald Trump. “Trump has dominated American politics for ten years and it will soon be over,” wrote Die Zeit.

According to the weekly, "it is easy to imagine that with these elections the political end of the eighty-year-old real estate magnate and political outsider who, contrary to his own expectations, became the leader of the most powerful country in the world begins."

"Trump has two years left in office, but his political principle, Trumpism, no longer works, perhaps ultimately," it stressed.

America First doesn't work

Die Zeit recalled that at the heart of Trumpism from the very beginning was a promise for millions of Americans: America First, which - as it assessed - had not been fulfilled.

In turn, in the opinion of the weekly "Der Spiegel", the results of the US elections are "a bill paid to Trump". The newspaper, like the southern German daily "Sueddeutsche Zeitung", emphasizes that Donald Trump is the big loser.

"For the unpopular president, the midterm elections are a disaster, and he blames the Republican candidates and threatens the Democrats who won the majority in Congress," notes Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

"A bitter evening for Musk"

"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" pointed to another loser of the American elections: Elon Musk. The multi-billionaire "pumped half a billion dollars into the American campaign and lost all along," says the daily.

“A bitter evening for Musk,” emphasized FAZ.
