Drumph : "The Germans are evil, very evil"

US President Donald Trump has 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."

At the meeting, EU Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker took the side of the Germans and disagreed with Trumps Schelte. Free trade is a good thing for all, said the Commissioner. Juncker had tried a friendly tone, but was hard on the matter, says the participants.

At about an hour's meeting, Trump first met with President Donald Tusk and Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker, after about 45 minutes, other members of the European Parliament came, including the President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani and the EU's chief diplomat Federica Mogherini. (An analysis of the meeting can be found here .)

He thinks he can "punish" Germany for daring to have that Merkel-Obama event....

And nobody has clued Trump in to the fact that the White House isn't a mafia protection/extortion racket...

by the German automakers? I wish we did better than we do in trade with Germany, but they are not evil. My employer is integrally linked with them (one of our largest plants is in Germany). They make good stuff. Have bright engineers. We sell a lot of stuff to them as well.

That confirms that the apricot shitstain is "evil, very evil" or something. FYI, despite the Germanic surname, Jean-Claude Juncker is from Luxembourg.
