They did indeed have lunch.

Merkel appears to be very cold....and she has screwed up with her "love a Muzzie".

I think the UK will find themselves more than happy to get out of the EU and President Trump will do right with future trade deals.

Betting Merkel will wind up eating her words about...if you wanta do trade, you do it with the EU...not Germany.

The United States if it defends its borders and cultural heritage will find that it has much in common with a nationalistic Russia.

We have very little cultural commonality with Russia.

My German colleagues vacationed for a full month in summer.

And the WaPo immediately “refutes” another straw man of their own creation. Big headline there about Trump falsely claiming they owe the US money, when it’s clear from the actual quote that he’s saying they owe money to NATO, and should be paying us for the defense we’re providing.

It would be quite a challenge to find any statement of Trump’s that’s subject to multiple interpretations where the Post didn’t immediately pick one(s) that fit their Trump hating agenda. I wonder if he could get them to devote pages to trashing themselves just by saying something favorable about them?

There were multiple handshakes during the meeting. One within a few yards of the reporter who claimed there were none.

Germany actually calculates the “rent” they could be collecting on the lands occupied by US forces stationed in Germany for NATO as part of its “defense” contribution.

Slimy weasel stuff like this is how America has been taken advantage of for years.

The should be paying for every tank, howitzer, attack helicopter, missile system, warplane and every person we send along with the Soldiers and contracted support.

Yup, there is a treaty and Germany is not living up to the terms of the treaty. That puts Germany in a piss poor negotiating position. And by the body language between Merk and Trump while they were sitting down, Trump maximized his negotiating position. Well done Mr. President!

And that is why I look for news from the UK papers ,...they seem to a little less spinning to the left.

Germany needs the money to feed and house their new immigrants.

I’ve been a Trump supporter since the day he surfed down that escalator with Melania sitting on his shoulders.

I suggest you have some type of Cruz disorder. So half your medication or double it, but you need something.
