    I dont hate germany

    But I dont view them as a friend anymore

    They are headed in a different direction than America and making new friends in Iran and other places hostile to the US

    No, they are not headed in a different direction than America. They are headed in a different direction than what baby-boomers like you want them to do. Fortunately, baby-boomers' days are numbered. Trump is the last president your generation will elect.

    Good for her. Trump is attacking Germany for domestic political reasons and there's no reason for a German Chancellor to suck up to the American Bloviator-in-Chief.

    Trump made an ass out of himself and embarrassed the country.

    I don't think anyone in their right mind is going to invade Russia or France, two countries with credible nuclear deterrents.

    You don't speak for me. Brexit is the Brits option, although I think they'll come to regret it.

    Yeah, and who cares about the Bloviator-in-Chief who continues to make an ass of himself on the world stage?

    They leaders share many physical characteristics, including the walk, the height, the weight, the same makeup, and much the same haircut. Their sexual leanings are also both open to question.

    Be sure to tell the Bloviator-in-Chief. He doesn't seem to "get it."

    America will have done with the Bloviator-in-Chief in 2020 and we'll be back heading in the same direction.

    Never mentioned anyone by that name. I was referring to Angela and Kim - who may some common ancestry. Perhaps DNA tests should be carried out on both of them.

    He acts more like "il duce" as he likes to talk with his hands and above else sticks his nose high in the air when giving a speech.

    lol Il Duce. Why didn't I think of that.
    Another great captain of socialism.

    Good thing Trump isn't the ultimate capitalist pig and elected leader of a liberal democracy.
    Otherwise I'd be feeling really stupid right now.

    So Mao. How about Mao.
    Or Mr Kim?

    Has anyone compared him to bin Laden yet?

    On the streets of Berlin, people were just shaking their heads.

    Many of the issues are not new; former President Barack Obama, who enjoyed a close relationship with Merkel, was critical of the German export surplus, its defense spending and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project with Russia.

    But Trump's increasingly vitriolic tone on those issues, plus his criticism of Merkel's migration policies and his decisions to pull out of agreements dear to Germany like the deal meant to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and the Paris climate accord, have many questioning what comes next.

    "It's an attitude that long term for the German-American relationship is anything but helpful," lawmaker Rolf Muetzenich, a foreign affairs expert with Chancellor Angela Merkel's junior coalition Social Democrats, told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper.
