Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday backed Mexico to press for a successful renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Donald Trump, thanking its government for keeping German interests in mind during the talks.

Germany and Mexico have pursued policies tailored toward exporting manufactured goods, and both ran trade surpluses of more than $60 billion with the United States last year.

That East German's support is yet another reason to turn NAFTA into a US/Canada agreement,recognizing Mexico for what it is...a Fourth World Narco-State and worthless cesspool.

Next war wont be like the last. As bad as the Nazis were they were certainly formidable. Germans have long lost their spine.

Dear Ms. Merkel,

During the early days of World War I the Kaiser offered to help Mexico conquer and seize the Southwest of the US of A if they would fight on the side of Germany. The discovery of that diplomatic cable was one of the main reasons America join the war on the side of England and why Germany lost that first world war. Do you want to repeat history?

If America has to conquer Germany a third time I suspect the forced relocation of all Germans who are worth a damn to America and letting the territory be divided amongst Eastern European countries. That is because America would come to the obvious conclusion that such a stupid, suicidal people don’t deserve a country of their own. Don’t worry, we will turn them into good Americans.

Maybe tearing down the Berlin Wall wasn’t such a great idea after all.

Will the drug cartels be able to pick up the slack on the Mercedes and BMWs that won’t get sold in the US now that we’ve ditched gay Paris?

Not A Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)

Not A Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a large document, in excess of a thousand pages. Economist Milton Freedom said NAFTA was not a free trade agreement. He could write a free trade agreement in one sentence. I suppose it might read: All tariffs and quotas between our nations are hereby abolished.

If you don’t like NAFTA, there is no need to blame free trade. If you like free trade, feel free to criticize Not A Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If you don’t like free trade, maybe you should like NAFTA, or something like it.
