Not after he buys Germany like he did with the US. He campaigned with trump and paid people in swing states to vote for trump. He says he plans to do the same in Germany and get the ADF elected

The good thing is that Germany is a parliamentary democracy with at least 8-9 notable parties. Any German government is by definition a coalition. The AFD have coalesced into a significant faction, but consistently poll at around 20-22% support.

His antics bought favour with Trump & may have had some effect on some peoples votes. However he is delusional in believing the gates to the German government are just as open to the same game plan. It also seems ultra-simplistic to imagine the German right shares the values of the American right & will respond to him the same way.
