    Trump is attacking all of USA's allies and will end up with no allies.

    While Trump is rampaging against the allies of USA, Vladimir Putin is on a schmooze campaign to convince Europe that they have no need to fear Russia.

    Indeed it appears that Europe has more to fear from the USA than from Russia as Trump bad mouths Europe and threatens trade tariffs.

    Germany has always exported cars to the USA since world war 2 because the quality of German cars is appreciated by US buyers.

    Trump is insane and nobody in his maladministration can rein him in.

    Ha.. no Volkswagens, Porsche, BMW's or Benzes for you...Trump you &$^#$ you're bad... very very bad.
    I love my BM she's gorgeous

    Of course the single trade agreement negotiations by the EU rules out all European cars... guess the only other vehicles that really matters are Italian.

    Trump could replace imported BMWs made by 'bad Germans' with crappy imported British cars made by good British.

    Good luck with that.

    Of coarse we will have all these liberals make all these uninformed post in this thread before they even educate themselves on the facts

    Fact: Germany puts 29% of tariffs and taxes on all imported American made cars

    Trump needs to do the same to German cars imported to America

    The 19% tax has to be paid for every car bought in Germany.

    The 19% tax in Germany applies to all cars sold in Germany, whether imported or domestic manufacture. It is a value added tax like sales taxes in USA.

    USA also applies sales taxes to all cars.

    Far more important to note is that the USA can not make some trade deal with Germany.
    Rumor has it, that this had to be explained to him 10 times before it sank in.


    And the reason you can not make a trade deal with Germany,
    is because they gave that sovereignty away to the EU.
    All trade deals are made by the EU for EU nations.

    Sorry .... but BS!

    10% customs tariff and 19% VAT are usual to all imports from outside the EU in Germany, no matter if from the USA or elsewhere!

    How much VAT, other taxes, fees, customs tariff are again still in the USA existing?
    We still better keep smiling about THIS FACT and don't answer, eh?

    And what about the cars produced inside the USA by the evil Germans? Hush ... shut up, other topic, because this will destroy the BS blabbered by Trump and his foolish followers totally!

    What annoyed me is the nonsense that this dumbass Trump blabbered because of the German export surplus!
    Hello? When the US had the same surplus and complained to anyone, he got naughty answers from the USA! So just keep your mouth shut Mr. Trump and do not always tell BS about things, of which you have no idea!

    Trump supporters couldn't afford German cars anyway. That's why you don't see BMWs, Mercedes Benzes, or Porsches in the trailer parks.

    So he really wants to get more cars manufactured here, and his way to accomplish this is to be insulting and ham-handed with tariffs.

    Wow.

    Even more proof that Trump is an egregiously unprepared IMBECILE.

    You shouldn't stereotype people like that. Where I live went to Trump, and the kids drive those cars(and better ones) to high school.

    Sad to say my parents voted Trump, but they've owned 2 of the three you listed. They currently own two Lexus's(Lexi?) SUV's.
