Triumph? Please, what? He has the absolute majority - no wonder given the starting position in the Federal Assembly. But what kind of triumph is it when we get a Federal President that no one knows and no one can do anything with - just because the parties are stubbornly clinging to their stupid party politics again? Just because stupid power-mongering by the Union and silly haggling by the FDP had to turn the presidential election into a farce once more? What kind of triumph could possibly be represented by the election of an absolute candidate of last resort? If such embarrassments are already being counted as triumphs, I don't want to experience what such people would call a debacle...
