Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Donald Trump posted a projection from the Saxony-Anhalt state election on his Truth Social account.
  • The graphic, based on figures available at 7:57 p.m. German time, showed an AfD victory.
  • Trump shared the image without comment as the AfD has repeatedly sought contact with his Republican Party.

Donald Trump brought Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt state election to his large Truth Social audience by posting an election projection showing the AfD in first place.

The graphic reflected figures available at 7:57 p.m. German time. Trump allowed the bars showing the AfD’s victory to speak for themselves and added no further comment.

The post came amid the AfD’s repeated efforts to build ties with Trump’s Republican Party. It was one of many messages Trump published in a short period on topics including criticism of Democrats and efforts to strengthen his own voter base.

Frequent bursts of posts on different subjects have become a recurring feature of Trump’s account.
