Prussia’s 1947 Abolition and German Sovereignty

No one in Germany can say, wait a second, Prussia got eliminated in 1947 by the United States,

Great Britain and Stalin. And we've never reconstituted it. The heart of Germany.

We're so embarrassed. And I'm saying this as someone who loves the Germanic people.

I am a Germanic person. I don't understand how any German leader could put up with the

level of humiliation that Germany has put up with for 80 years. There's no one living

in Germany who's responsible for the crimes of the 1930s and 40s. I don't understand why

you're continuing to pay reparations, continuing to allow your country to be occupied. I don't

understand why you don't assert sovereignty. And the truth is the German, Germanic peoples,

and I'm including, you know, the Dutch and the Scandinavians and a lot of the English,

as I'm sure you know, all Germanic, it's all Germanic. They are what makes Europe great,

actually. They're the hardest working, the smartest, the tidiest, the cleanest,

the most punctual. Those are values that I think are important. Actually, I don't mock those. Those

are real. I don't know how people who did everything the Germanic peoples did could

allow themselves to create it and it could internalize the hate and allow it to become

self-hate. And whenever you bring it, even now I'm talking to you, I can tell it's making you

uncomfortable. I'm saying, no, I don't have self-hate. It's like I don't have self-hate.

But what, what happened to Prussia? I don't understand this. Berlin, like what? How could

you allow a foreign power to say you can no longer have a region and no one in the subsequent years

has ever said, wait a second, this is our country. We'll, we'll call our regions whatever

we want to call them. We're going to call this Prussia and we're going to boot out foreign

troops. Doesn't mean we're going to invade anyone or be invaded. We are a great country.

So any leader who doesn't say that has my contempt. Well, that's what I'm saying.

Every time.
