BERLIN (Reuters) - If U.S.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wins the election in
November, it would be problematic for the entire world and encourage
copycats in Europe, European Parliament President Martin Schulz told a
German magazine.
"Trump is not only a problem for the EU but also for the whole world,"
Schulz said in an interview with Der Spiegel published online on
Thursday.
"If a man who shows off by not having a clue and by saying that
specialist knowledge is elitist rubbish ends up in the White House, a
critical point will have been reached," said Schulz, a German
center-left Social Democrat.
Such a scenario would mean that there is an "obviously irresponsible
man" sitting in a position that demands the utmost sense of
responsibility, Schulz said.
He added that he was concerned that Trump getting into power would spur
on copycats in Europe. "That's why I want Hillary Clinton to win."
