Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has criticized US President Donald Trump’s election campaign exceptionally harshly. In an interview with “Bild am Sonntag”, the SPD politician commented on Trump’s call for double voting and his criticism of voting by mail: “It is worrying that an American president thinks he needs something like this.” “It is relying on the common sense and common sense of the Americans so that the nefarious attempt to cast doubt on the validity of the elections fails not to accept an electoral defeat later,” added Maas.
Trump had repeatedly stated that a vote by mail could lead to massive fraud in the November 3 presidential election. So far, it has not provided evidence of this.
More recently, the President of the United States had encouraged voters by mail to also try to vote at the electoral college. If the postal voting system works as well as its advocates said, “then they won’t be able to do it,” Trump argued.
Later, several states emphasized that double voting would be illegal. Trump’s spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany denied that the president had called for a violation of the law. She said she wanted to warn about the possibility of fraud by vote by mail.
In addition to Trump’s election campaign, Maas also criticized the president’s behavior in the US protests against racism: “Americans rightly hope that their president will not add fuel to the fire, but will gradually resolve the serious conflicts of the American society “. Unfortunately, however, it is to be feared that the electoral campaign will further fuel the conflict.
