US President Donald Trump complained bitterly about the German trade surplus on his meeting with the EU top in Brussels. The Germans are evil, very evil, said Trump. This was learned by the SPIEGEL from participants in the meeting. Trump said, Look at the millions of cars they sell in the US, and well stop that.

The worlds only superpower is being run by a man who has to have his television time monitored because cable news gets him too riled up and makes him want to tweet.
Trumps tantrum is the lead in all of the German newspapers because it sounds like this president is aching for a trade war that will destroy the US economy. Donald Trump wants to slap a tariff on the imports of American allies.
If Donald Trump wants German cars no longer sold in the United States, he better be prepared for American products not be sold in Germany.
The Germans arent evil for making cars that Americans want to buy. The only evil in this conversation resides between Trumps ears because the president is apparently trying to destroy free market capitalism.

What an idiot.
On edit, the other two major manufacturers here are Mercedes and Volvo. Of course, why should we expect a real estate developer to understand the economy?
