Trump is delivering a message. Merkel, May and Macron, the 3M dunces, don’t get it. If they are indifferent to securing their own borders and protecting their cultural heritage, then they cannot expect that Americans yet again will sacrifice blood and treasure to save their sorry asses.

Germany is the rich country there and isn’t spending the measly 2% on defense like its supposed to. Meanwhile, they make Europe vulnerable to Russia and undermine western civilization with “migrants”. Screw Germany. They need to stop screwing up.

I witnessed the same fake news description of her comments. They so much want her to scream at Trump like he is some kind of monster, but she said really nothing, so the media lies about it.

The Germans did reduce their coal, and instead of taking more LNG from America signed up for a life-blood deal with Russia, paying them billions and being subject to their natural gas extortion. Meanwhile they demand the US defend them and pay the most into NATO.

Trump was so right in the repudiation of this behavior that the Germans could not say anything.

I am glad we have someone talking openly and honestly.

Germany can’t pay their fair share into NATO, which protects them from Russia, and then does these “lay-down” deals with Russia and hands them the keys to the house.

Trump is right. But you won’t see CNN explain it like that.

The meeting has sparked concerns in Europe, as well as with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who worry Trump could end up making major concessions.
Lawmakers (democrats) want to scare people and convince them that Trump colluded with Putin.

President Trump’s brazen insults and denigration of one of America’s most steadfast allies, Germany...

Germany? Did I miss something?

No, you two clowns are an embarrassment. The American people know when they’re being treated like suckers. When Germany barely spends more than 1% of GDP on Defense yet expects America to defend it against Russia......while at the same time it works feverishly to make itself ever more dependent on Russian energy and shovels money at Russia in the process, then has the unmitigated gall to claim US objections to this completely contradictory and self serving behavior are based on US financial concerns........we are being treated like suckers.

Obviously the Yurps think we’re too stupid to notice their blatant self serving and duplicity. In taking sides against the President, Pelosi and Schumer are acting in the interests of the greedy Yurps - not America.

The Greens want Germany out of nuclear energy and oil, and the vaunted alternate energy programs are not progressing the way they'd hoped. That promises an increasing dependency on Russian natural gas. Pointing this out, no matter what the motivation, is simply stating the truth. So is pointing out that this dependency is a dangerous thing.

Trump is a conveniently beatable messenger, but the message remains as clear as day. It's time to disengage.

When germany was divided, east germany was as closed off as nkorea is today. It was a miracle when that wall came down. I see Germany and I still think of it as unfriendly as it was. Anyone trying to scsle the wall was shot.. i knew a wife who came here from there.. war bride. Families wewe divided

“...another profoundly disturbing signal that the president is more loyal to...Putin than to our NATO allies”

I was thinking just the opposite - that this was proof positive that Trump is NOT in Putin’s pocket.

Am I missing something?

Gee, the rats got exposed to sunlight! Trump is an anathema to politicians who would prefer keeping their dirty little secrets in the dark and quietly stab each other in the back while making deceptive treaties in public.

Germany is now a Russian puppet state. East Germany has conquered Germany for the Russian rules. Did it without firing one bullet.
