Still a unforced error. That isnt helping.

If that's the case I wonder if he'aware of how many 'German' cars are produced in the US by BMW, Mercedes, and VW? He's not exactly known for letting facts keep him from his whine.

That would assume he's done some reading and research. Come on, do you expect the President to do that kind of thing? Don't be silly.

Well, he's doing a good job of sucking up to the Saudis and to Putin, both known for their deep, deep love of America.

If that mess doesn't shut his pie-hole soon, we won't have a true ally left on the planet.

Doesn't reaffirm our commitment to NATO allies, bashes them over money in front of the 9/11 memorial, and calls Germany evil.

Putin got quite his money's worth in this idiot. He's throwing a party in the Kremlin no doubt.

Which is what Putin wants. He wants to destroy the West and he's succeeding thanks to Trump and his brain dead minions.

So, we have the buffoon Trump calling Germany "evil" - and shoving - actually shoving the Prime Minister of Montenegro aside so he could stand in front.

Well, when Germany sends its people, they're not sending their best. Although some, I assume, are good people.

Even if not all German cars sold in the US are also produced there it is ridiculous to say this is unfair. Nobody forces Americans to buy German cars. Be more competitive and have better cars and this would be a non-issue.
