So having asked the German state attorney I know, he has confirmed my hunch. If Trump were to say this in Germany, that would constitute “Volksverhetzung” literally incitement of the people according to § 130 StGB (German penal code) which is punishible from a fine to 3 years in prison. And to add, it’s pretty clear cut.
Since he’s a foreign dignitary (fuck it feels wrong to call him that), he has diplomatic immunity though
Holy follow-up Batman! I’m with you on how bummed I am that we will never see him punished, but I appreciate you actually getting an answer on the law.
I am gonna ask the German state attorney I know what his take is on that next time I speak to him. But from my view, yeah that could already be a crime
I mean, a very large percentage of them are holocaust deniers already.
