I’m sure he will. Europe has no idea what to make of Trump or his advisers.

Can’t wait to hear what Trump has to say to the Nazis.

Steinmeier is a Russia loving pinko. Naturally, he’d hate Trump.

One would think that Steinmeir would love Trump then. No Republican candidate since World War II had been so supportive of getting closer to Russia and improving ties than Trump has been.

I’m not particularly concerned what Obergruppenfuhrer Steinmeir has to say.

Yes. If he wins, you and your fellow European socialists will either have to progress beyond your infantile self-destructive ideological idiocy, or you will be left behind.

Germany has the money to import over a million muslim savages into their country: feeding them, clothing them, educating them, housing them, giving them medical care. They are spending 10s of billions on Euros on this feel-good project.

But they lack the funds to fully pay for their own defense.

Trump is right. This NATO deal must be renegotiated

No they do not lack those funds.

And this crisis is specifically designed to provoke things like allowing the Bundeswehr to act within German borders. This has been talked about already, even without these attacks.

Trump is smart. Aligning ourselves with the Russians to defeat the Muslims is an excellent strategic move. It worked during WWII and it can also work now.

Germany is up to its armpits in Muslims.

I wonder if any Germans wish they could have their Jews back.

What politicians and the media don’t understand. . .but Trump does understand. . .is that you don’t drop your pants from the get-go. The art of sales requires that your public initial offer is the highest and only you know how far you are willing to bend or how much you are willing to flex your original offer. Trump plays this to the max. ..and he knows the first one to blink. . .loses. As far as politicians as sales people go. . .THEY SUCK! . ..which is why, as Trump so frequently points out, we’ve been getting SCREWED!

Trump scares politicians on both sides of the pond because he wants to bring back something so lacking in the world today- COMMON SENSE!
