the once-unknown, gum-chewing, no-nonsense West Virginian is infamous in Europe. European leaders, typically used to dealing with fellow heads of state, are now seeking facetime with the newfound Davos Man himself. They are getting plenty of it.
*****
Manchin said that Scholz countered that the U.S. places too many penalties on European cars entering the American market. So the West Virginian pulled out his cellphone and Googled “tariff cost on autos in Germany.” In bold, the search engine’s front page excerpted the relevant part of a 2019 Deutsche Welle article: “US levies a 2.5 percent tariff on European auto imports, while the European Union imposes a 10 percent duty.”

Traitor.
Yeah. I’ve always known him to be a fake.
IF true, then I say good for Manchin for calling out the Euroweenies b.s.
Again, IF true.
Manchin sold out coal in West Virginia for Biden now Germany is building a new coal mine heck Greta Thunberg was protesting it.
So is this drama a distraction from Manchin selling out West Virginia coal?
Very well could be. I've always said Manchin's in it for Manchin, just like every other politician.
Thus my couching my statment with IF true ...
I quite literally believe NOTHING in the lying liberal lamestream media and believe less than half of what I witness myself.
The media situation worse than ever they are big corporations whose management supports politicians.
In Canada and Australia direct government subsidy during COVID of mainstream media.
.
In Davos, the Elites asked Manchin about the country being divided.
He said to the audience, there are too many sources of News and too many social platforms. The natural implication being a single source or two sharing the same News would make people get in line.
Manchin’s is total Trash.
Like the good ole USSR.
.
Manchin made a career out of selling out West VA.
He’s a fraud.
Biden appointed to his to head a Prominent Commission and then loaded her up with money.
.
Hopefully Traitor Joe is in his last term
Europeans whining against Manchin has about as much effect as Indonesians complaining about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, ie none.
Their opinions of him are completely irrelevant.
>> Manchin’s is total Trash.
Manchin is a scumbag. Next election, if it’s fair, will be his undoing — and it’s been a long time coming.
yep, Manchin does good pr, sounds more moderate but its a head fake as he always ends up votingn the Dem line, like impeachment etc
“Manchin made a career out of selling out West VA.”
If the people of West Virginia wanted a conservative in the Senate, they could start by voting for a Republican - as they do at the presidential level.
The Yurps bitched when we slashed our carbon emissions by twice as much as they did by fracking and producing tons of natural gas as a result. Now they bitch when the Democrats pass all kinds of idiotic Gaia worship legislation to push the supposedly “green” energy sources. They’re going to bitch no matter what America does - as usual.
As for the complaint that US natural gas producers are set to profit due to Europe’s energy shortage.....gee guys....we’ve only been telling you that allowing yourselves to be hugely dependent on Russian gas was a bad idea for about 40 years or so. Oh, and you could lift your own restrictions on fracking and build more nuclear power plants and thus make yourselves far less dependent on importing natural gas. Have you ever thought of doing that? No? Don’t blame us for your Gaia worshiping idiocy.
Are you a web bot or a foreigner? Your English grammar is terrible.
Manchin has done more damage to US than Europe.
