If he was serious, then Germany would stop leaning on EU countries with lower corporate tax rates than itself to raise theirs. Not to mention, deregulation en masse in that country would start happening (it is not).

that the path toward rising prosperity for all depends on greater cooperation among countries.Commie talk.
As for me I don't give f*** about the citizens of other countries, I only care about my fellow Americans and their prosperity.

Is he worried that America will hurt itself?
Or is he worried that America will hurt the EU?
The answer is obvious.
Trump pursues Economic Nationalism because it is good for the US. Schäuble warns against Economic Nationalism because it will show the EU as a house of cards.

It’s not protectionism. We should buy whatever benefits American interests. If American consumers want a product that has a unique heritage and excellent quality from another country, we’ll buy it from that country. Bananas are a good example. Another might be Lederhosen.

Well,for one thing I've been buying German made cars (Germans brands *assembled* in Germany)...for years.But that's history.
My next car will either be Japanese or a Jaguar.

When America is health financially, economically, socially and spiritually, the rest of the world is in a better place. We are the adults in a plane at 30,000 ft that has just lost cabin pressure and the oxygen masks have dropped from the ceiling. We’re putting on our oxygen masks first................

Meanwhile, his country would not have gotten where it was in the EU without being strongly economically nationalist.

I’d post a picture of a B-17 taking flak as metaphor for Trump being over the target but I am too tired.

My sister has a 2005 Jetta (five-cylinder) and the thing has been nickel-and-diming her for quite a while.

Commie talk is right......the Germans have been very unfortunate for centuries. They have been run by shady socialists. It is time for the ancient German tribes to rise up against them.

That has the five-cylinder too?
She’s up to 180K on her car. Me, I’m stuck with a 1.8 Corolla from 07 (assembled in USA), but I’m up to 210K and no problems like she’s experienced.

Yeah, mine has the 2.5L 5 cylinder with a 6-speed transmission. Shifts automatically or shift your own. 80,000 miles-not new but not really a lot these days either.

Speaking as a Jaguar fan... skip the current crop of Jaguars. They’ve been decontenting and downgrading like mad lately and the quality has gone downhill (again.). The XE is an embarrassment, the F-Type is a bad value, etc., etc.
Look at the Japanese, Koreans or Ford.
