What are your opinions on German Idealism? Is it worth striving to undestand the philosophical movement?
Should I have a solid background on something before reading them?

Kant and Hegel are essential for all of philosophy. Having a rough idea of what rationalism and empiricism (especially Hume) was about should be enough to get into Kant.

Hegel is only interesting because he leads to Feuerbach and Marx

Mostly you'll just want some background on Kant, and maybe some Fichte so that when Hegel bashes Fichte you'll know what he's bashing.

Trump is going to complete the system of German idealism

The entire modern episteme was founded by the Germans. All thought in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, history, linguistics, social theory, critical theory, religious studies, theology, aesthetics, and just about everything else you could ever think of was founded, elaborated, and dominated by the Germans until 1945, and the French just add a few stupid surface aspects to it. The more you understand the historical formation and legacy of German idealist and romantic thought, the more you will understand modernity as a whole.

The more you read the more you will understand. Try Frederick Beiser.
