I don’t believe at all that that many of our fellow countrymen know who these people are. If I went out on the street now, I’d be shocked if more then 2 or 3 out of 10 could tell me who fucking Olaf Scholz was.

They’re cheating by adding “German Chancellor” in front of his name. Hell, if I was asked who Olaf Scholz was with no further detail I’d probably not know.

he co-owned the 3rd smallest deli in Philly and, in 1973, invented an open-faced “sandwich” called “The Hot Olaf” which is wrapping a smoked bratwurst in hot pastrami, putting it on a paper plate, and dumping a ladle of mustard sauce on it.

after Deputy Mayor Rex “Popcorn” Buxton died “not mysteriously” on the employee toilet in 1974, the deli shuttered forever and was converted into an earwax museum.

Surprisingly honest for 35% of Americans to admit they simply haven’t heard of the guy, rather than inserting Generic Opinion About Germans as a response.
