President Donald Trump took to Twitter to double down on his criticisms of Germany as deadbeats with the NATO payments, and to underscore how very raw a deal the United States was getting on trade.
We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change

He tweeted: “We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change.”

His remarks echoed what he said during a summit in Europe last week.
Germany’s Angela Merkel, meanwhile, said that while her country’s relations with America are of “outstand importance,” she also suggested that perhaps a more independent future for the country was needed.
As Breitbart noted:
“Merkel said … [Germany] must engage with other key nations going forward. She also suggested in the wake of the Trump visit that Europe’s relationship with Washington had shifted significantly and reiterated her position that ‘we in Europe have to take our fate into our own hands.'”
Merkel made the comments during a rally on Sunday. She also said that Germany’s “times” to “completely depend on others” are over.
U.S. relations with Germany have somewhat cooled since Trump called out the nation as deadbeat on paying its NATO obligations.
Trump has also been harsh in calling out the country for currency manipulation.

She needs all the money to pay for jihadi refugees free housing, free cash to buy stuff . She is typical Left/liberal dumb pro-jihadi Loon and so are the voters who vote for such dumb dodos leading their citizens to future of never ending jihadi crimes.
Trump became first President to call out the palestinian jihadi “a Liar” after he tried to Fool Trump using Al-Taqiya ! He almost succeeded but Israel outed him http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
Trump is Learning it , but has got Pro-muslim rats in his admin trying to sell him “religion of peace” B.S.

But apparently nothing about how Islam is overrunning Germany, changing that nation forever. Merkel needs to hear some truth even if she is dull of hearing.

“”reiterated her position that ‘we in Europe have to take our fate into our own hands.’”

How crazy is Germany?
They feel guilt for two world wars and the Holocaust so they elect a Soviet-style East German Communist who invites islam into Europe, setting the stage for the extermination of not only the Jews this time, but of Judeo-Christian society in total — and condemn women to a inescapable future of farm animal status.
And when Trump goes to her to tell her how together they can save Western Civilization — she calls him the enemy!
Merkel is so thoroughly Marxist-Leninist brainwashed and “open-minded that her brains fell out” she is virtually putty in the hands of the emissary of Satan in the name of Mohamet — “obama” — who cast her under his crude thuggish spell as an islamo-bot to surrender everything good that man has made on Earth.
When I saw a headline that Merkel was “furious” after her G7 meeting with Trump — I was furious. Merkel will forever be known as the essential dupe lieutenant to History’s Most Ignominious Traitor.

Only 18% of Germans are willing to fight for their country. Seems like a lost cause.

“we in Europe have to take our fate into our own hands”. That you will, no more trying to pass on your colonist’s bills on others r ship them to other countries, you invited colonists, you keep and pay for them. You also will compete in the market with everyone else, the days of german industry resting on its laurels are over, the shoddy products of germany are being outclassed by any one and every one, the myth of “superior” german engineering and design are over. germany is know for shoddy workmanship by unskilled turkish labour.

Merkel’s statement that “we in Europe must take our fate into our own hands” shows the primary problem. She, among others, has confused NATO intentions with EU objectives. It is also like music to the ears of the American taxpayer who realizes we are $20 trillion in debt and that this is not 1984.

Germany will get the chance to vote her out. The Netherlands also had that opportunity, but voted Islam. France…well one would have been hard pressed to vote Le Penn, but they too voted Islam. The Germans will vote Islam too.Sadly, that now seems the choice when it comes to western elections (if a party has the guts to declare such a stance). Canada voted Islam. The USA voted against Islam. Britain voted against Islam, though is wavering and may topple. Poland voted against Islam. So too Hungary, Czech and Slovakia.

Germany can’t pay their fair share because they’re spending all their money on millions of refugees that dumbass Merkel let into the country. No money for anything else now including NATO. Don’t call us to help you when the crap hits the fan!
