Jokes about Trump are rife in America, as are leader jokes in many Western countries. These are the last places you will need to worry about that.

At long as it doesn't involve [multi purpose eggs](https://www.euronews.com/culture/2026/06/06/mehrzweckeier-di...) or calls to violence you should be fine.

Sure .. just not jokes about how tall they are with a punchline that involves raising an arm to demonstrate.

Insulting people is a crime in Germany. If you said "Hitler was a poopy head" that'd be illegal. But they wouldn't bother to enforce that. If you say it about a real person, they can press charges.

fyi: insult is a so called "Antragsdelikt". That means authorities can only press charges when the victim files an official complaint. Otherwise they can't do anything.
Which also means they wouldn't be able to do anything about you saying "Hitler was a poopy head".
