President Trump slammed the chancellor of Germany on Tuesday after Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by Iran.
“The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago.”
“No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!” he wrote.
Merz, speaking to students Monday in Germany, said that the “Americans clearly have no strategic plan,” according to the translated speech.

“I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago.”
Amen.
Merz doesn’t believe Trump will get the U-235.
Neither do I.
Mr. President,
Now is not the time to be a nice guy.
We have these cockroaches on their backs. Now is the time to stomp them.
Every bridge, dam, and power plant.
Sincerely,
Ben
The real message on this and Ukraine, is that Germany is a weakling.
Merz’s strategic plan is to surrender to Islam. Same with Britain and France.
Iran has had 47 years of appeasement.
It’s been < 81 years since the end of the second world war started by German ‘leaders’. There were 400,000 - 420,000 American military deaths as a consequence, plus the death of all those in the Allied forces, and all the Jews killed in concentration camps.
Germany’s hegemony and militarism at that time in history caused great hurt to many around the world. Now, maybe as a consequence of national guilt, they want to make the EU create group suicide, and destabilize the rest of the world in the process. I have zero interest in what a German Chancellor has to say.
Apparently Mariner's plan as well.
Reality: Merz slams Trump and the US, President Trump responds appropriately.
“Apparently Mariner’s plan as well. “
Why would you fabricate that?
Asshole.
Potus is trying to get out of the situation as much as possible. The nuclear ‘dust’ talk and victory nonsense. Almost everything is market timed by his tweets and comments. Will be a interesting rest of week.
Strategic.....
“Will be a interesting rest of week.”
He put himself between a rock and a hard place.
On one side is his personal interest.
On the other is the national interest.
He cannot have both. So he’ll bluster and bullshit until it all goes away.
Except this time it won’t.
He’s gonna leave and say we have a deal. I’m leaning that way. The constant declaring victory nonsense. Oil doesn’t care how much someone says they won.
“He’s gonna leave and say we have a deal.”
He cannot finesse the failure to acquire the U-235.
He either does, or does not.
He either wins or loses on that single item.
Sounds like US surrender right there. No need to fabricate it.
You believe Trump will get Iran’s U-235?
Absolutely, it is the whole Casus Belli. Iran ain’t making a nuke. Be nice if the new gov’t turned it over, every ounce, but we will get it. What is costs the Douchemullahs is yet to be seen but we will get it. We know where, we know how much. We know the isotope will implicate traitors, we’re getting it one way or another. Merz is a flaccid Euroweenie, couldn’t even join a won cause.
