Trump Threw A Tantrum And Ticked Off Germany By Calling The Germans Very Very Evil

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 we’ll stop that.”


. . .

The world’s 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.

Trump’s 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 aren’t evil for making cars that Americans want to buy. The only evil in this conversation resides between Trump’s ears because the president is apparently trying to destroy free market capitalism.

for the deplorables who did vote for him, allowing him to get close enough so the election could be stolen.

Therefore when he speaks he speaks for YOU and ME.




This is an important point in case anybody ever again says "both parties are the same"

Plenty of room in there for evil, because there sure isn't any space being occupied by intellect.

in the private sector is BMW. The largest manufacturing sector in the state is the auto industry, and the majority of those companies are foreign-owned.
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?
