All my British friends love Trump, most of my German friends dont. The German friends are told on the news all the time that Trump is not good for Germany. I love when he was president and told the Germans that the trade balance with Germany needed to be balanced and that Germany shold stop North steam 2, because otherwise Germany would become to independent on Russian gas. Then he told them to contribute more money into their defence.
@Justenjoyit Maybe because Merkel moved Germany so far left that she makes Stalin look conservative.

@NativePortlander1970 Germany is a business country, they will take advantage when its in their own interest, because Trump is a business man he called them out. The US should be happy that they have such a person.
@Justenjoyit No shit, Sherlock, really? I don't know of any industrialized nation that isn't a business country, do you? 🤔

@NativePortlander1970 Its like this, where the US might have morals with doing business with a country the Germans think of business, thier thinking is a different kind of thinking to most western countries
@Justenjoyit Germany's foray into business is fairly newborn to most other countries, they have no real concept of it.

@NativePortlander1970 They have been for a long time one of the top exporters of the world. Since the industrial revolution they have been a top industrial country
@Justenjoyit With their decades of East Germany under communist rule, they got stunted in all that time, and in those years West Germany suffered as well.
