I didn't vote for or support Trump.

I want to cut government spending, including military spending.

Germany, it appears, can only be snubbed by Trump so many times:

The photo-op and non-handshake.
The hand written bill.
The slam on being a net exporter.
The non-mutual assurance non-attendance.
The Paris Accord

Merkel has announced Germany will have to accept the US is no longer dependable and just a "friend". But what will Germans do as a consequence of Trump?

cite: Angela Merkel suggests Europe can no longer rely on Trump’s America.

Lol, that's like Walmart saying they will teach us a lesson by closing all their US stores.

How many countries consume more than us?

Products need buyers more than buyers need products.

If I don't buy an American car, I can always buy Japanese or Korean.

About time the elitist purveyors of brussels issued proclamations of indignation do more than just talk.

I think I agree with that.

At this point, the possibility of tanks pouring through the Fulda Gap are near zero. Europe is capable of defending itself. The Russians are essentially a non-entity in world affairs.

You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. None of you people do. You are just completely, absolutely, 100% wrong, and you don't even seem to care. No NATO country "agreed to pay" anything when they joined; that's just nonsense. Just like your idiot cultmaster, you have no idea how NATO works.

This is how authoritarian demagogues like Trump get elected - an ignorant, uninformed electorate that votes according to emotions rather than fact. Thank you very much for destroying what was left of our country.

The "Trump curtsied" comment came directly from MSNBC, one branch of the sewer that the "mainstream" media has become.

Anyone with a brain realizes that Trump, being very tall, had to bend down for the King to place the chain and medal around his neck, which, by the way, was the highest honor, and one which they never gave to Barack Obama. Nor did the King meet Obama on the Tarmac, as he did Trump. But you, being brainwashed by the Leftist media, probably weren't shown that video.

I know for a fact that you have been shown photos right here on this forum showing Obama receiving the exact same honor, so you are deliberately repeating things you know are not true. You do know what they call that, right?

And you have the gall to accuse other people of being brainwashed...

One thing Merkel has done already is refused to say the name of that guy in the WH in her latest speech. Perhaps that should be what we call him from now on.

He is forever to be called that guy in the WH.

Or perhaps you have a better name?

What exactly does the US do for Germany? And what does Germany do for the US?

If you have the knowledge and insight to answer both those questions then you should be able to reach a conclusion.

Also, you're assuming that Merkel is not posturing for internal politics, something that is extremely likely imo.

Well they can respond by not building car factories or buying American made products.

They can stop coming as tourists.

That guy in the WH is destroying relationships built over decades.

If you don't see it as bad let's see if others do.
