Kallstadt (dpa / lrs) - The mayor of the Palatinate municipality of Kallstadt, from which Donald Trump's ancestors came from on his father's side, described the change in power in the USA as a great relief.
“A visit from Donald Trump to us was never our aim anyway.
But now we have the final certainty that he will no longer come by as US President, ”said Thomas Jaworek of the German Press Agency.
Of course, Trump could also visit the 1270-inhabitant village as a private person.
“But after he didn't come for 74 years, the probability is very small.
I don't know where his motivation should suddenly come from, ”emphasized the CDU politician.
As the “German home of Donald Trump”, Kallstadt has been in the focus of international media since the Republican's victory in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump was voted out of office in November 2020.
"Since then, the discussion among the people in Kallstadt as to whether he will come by has actually been over," said Jaworek.
"It's over."
The winemaking town is now passing on the role to those places in Ireland, India and Jamaica from which the ancestors of the future US President Joe Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris come.
"These places are sure to be easier with it," said Jaworek.
“Your advantage is that with Harris and Biden you know more about what they stand for politically.
For a long time, that was difficult to assess with Trump.

Jaworek emphasized that he did not want to evaluate Trump's term of office politically.
"There was some activity in the Middle East, but you can see it from two sides."
Recently, the Republican produced a lot of negative headlines: "Of course, that makes a special impression."
