The majority of Germans voted for centrist parties committed to a more outward, pro-EU, focus than the nationalism of Americas republicans or the national orientation of the AFD. The kind of inward nationalistic parochialism that you are describing is not as popular as you think. The leftist parties in Germany are not explicitly anti European, or nationalist in the sense you mean it, but their solutions for German problems carry little traction outside Germany which makes them distinctive nation only efforts.But they obviously don't like the approach to government as it was. The common denominator is the handling of refugees. The bottom line is that Europe wants to be great again. France wants to be French again. Germany wants to be German again, Spain wants to be Spanish again, Italy wants to be Italian again, Britain wants to be British again.
Also the CDU want tighter controls on immigrants but are not talking about ending freedom of movement like the British did nor indeed building a wall and sending in the military like Trump did.
So you are comparing apples and oranges in effect.
