He'd like that one. As long as you can't read German.The German magazine Der Spiegel has delivered a withering assessment of President Donald Trump's 2020 in an article headlined "The loser of the year."

"Trump's presidency ends as it began. Without decency and without dignity."

"The country is more divided than ever since the times of the Civil War. This is not a by-product of Trump's politics, it is their goal," the piece says, concluding that "permanent conflict is part of his strategy... he does not even give the impression that he is the president of all Americans."
The Black Lives Matter movement and the protests and counter-protests following the killing of George Floyd in May meant that "now is the time to unite the country," Der Spiegel says, however, "Trump is fueling the conflict."

The article criticizes Trump's dismissal of numerous administration officials, his impeachment trial and the GOP senators it says have acted as his enablers. "The formerly proud party of Abraham Lincoln has degenerated into a collection of spineless yes-men."
With a circulation of around 870,000, the left-leaning publication is the biggest news magazine in Europe.

It is not the first time that the magazine has given Trump both barrels. Last month, it called Trump "the squatter" and its front page image portrayed him in camouflage in the Oval Office, in a swipe at his reluctance to hand over power.
