I think it is extremely short-sighted to think that the US can bully its way back to greatness. It can't. Germany is one of our most valued trade partners, and the largest economy in the European union. They are an open, tolerant society with a wealth of educational institutions and highly skilled workers. Their military may not be as imposing as Russia's or China's, but they are a serious force to be reckoned with. We will be sad if we do not have them in our corner if a serious crisis arises.
Don't be so dramatic. We're still allied with Germany & Europe. Trump just doesn't want you to have to pay for their defense, while they refuse to. Everyone paying their fair share is no an extreme position.
So what...they made deals involving the US just to be nice? Or was there some sort of financial incentive to do so? Are they just going to completely take their toys and go home even if it means leaving money on the table?
Germany can't make any sort of trade deal with the U.S. It's part of the European Union which negotiates on behalf of all its member countries as a single entity. Despite Trump being told this a number of times, he doesn't seem understand.

Yes he is doing wonders for our place in the world, soon we will be America First and America Alone.
It will take decades to undo the damage the Golden Boy has already inflicted on this Nation and he still has a while to go before he is gone, maybe WWIII is in our future, such as it will be.
The world was used to Obama's weakness. Well we are the United States. We need to stop worrying about other countries feelings! If they feel all butt hurt over things then too bad!!!! They need us a hell of a lot more than we need them!!!
Don't count on that, without trade or a lot less of it with them and our economy will tank, you can thank trump for that.
Sorry Germany needs us a hell of a lot more than we need Germany. She can pout all she wants. Germany does not dictate to the United States. The United States tells Germany what we want. If Germany doesn't like it then they can go their own way. America first!!! The apology tour is over!!
She just said that. Germany is basically going to ignore Trump.
This post just won the 1st prize for the stupidest post I've read today.
But to be fair, it will undoubtedly be replaced by an even worse in short order.
You think Volkswagon or Mercedes cares about US funding of NATO or Merkyl's rhetoric? So long as its profitible to make or sell cars in the US, they will. Period.
German tourists? Maybe tourism will actually increase as Germans flock to see what a country not cucking radical Islam looks like?
Trump just kissed a lot of Muslim A$$. And Trump cares more about those Muslims than he cares about you.

We've all heard about that. Is the EU going to terminate financially lucrative German/US deals based on "bullying"? Wonder how member nations will feel when their pocketbooks start feeling an impact?

I am sure the list of former allies will grow weekly, sad to see idiots now tell those Nations that stand on our side to go s*$# themselves, but I do not expect much from trump or his minions these days since rational thought is no longer in vogue. It is the USA that will end up paying a heavy price for electing a Narcissistic Idiot that does not have the least bit of skill dealing with our allies or enemies, choices have consequences.
