So how is BMW & Mercedes making SUVs in the USA for worldwide sale bad for American workers? $10 billion in exports from here … I thought The Donald was about impriving US trade balance 
President Donald Trump has returned to his habit of responding to the news in angry early-morning tweets.
Oh goody.
Donald Trump: A Tacky, Foolish, Thin-Skinned Loser
The level of illiteracy in this country is unacceptable. What language is this drivel?
TrumpSpeak.
From Juanita Jean:
And in other news from the front lines of Cheeto Jesus’ Embarrass America Again tour, at a meeting with European leaders yesterday, Trump threatened to cut off German car sales in the US. That’s right folks, no more German cars. In the meeting, he threatened to cut off sales and impose a 35% import tax. He also called Germans “very bad”. What an ass (sorry Momma).
In this latest episode of urinating on allies, Trump forgot a few things:
•The BMW X3, X4, X5, and X6 are built in the Bavarian state of…North Carolina.
•The Volkswagen Passat is built in Southern German state of Tennessee.
•The Mercedes C Class, M Class, and GL Class are built in the German state of Alabamdama.
•Other countries where German cars are made are Mexico, Hungary, Slovakia, and France.
The facts are that a huge number of German cars sold in the US are made in the US. More importantly, of the top 15 productive auto plants in the US, 7 are foreign owned. Like other industries, the global auto industry is complex. Some cars built in the US are actually exported to…Germany. Some are sold here, and some are exported to other countries. The issues of trade and trade imbalances do not lend themselves to platitudes and childish name calling.
As in most issues Trump has talked about, he takes a simpleton approach to complex issues. Slapping a 35% tariff on imports from Germany would have an immediate and catastrophic effect, costing Americans thousands of jobs and driving costs up for everyone. If Trump spent less time on pissing off allies, and more time getting his own goddam house in order, we’d be the better for it. Or, would someone please just get him a Coke and bag of Cheetos and put him in front of a television so he can just flip channels all day?
It’s zero days since we were embarrassed by this parasite infesting the WH.

“Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S…”
Sadly, Trump got that part right.
I don’t know about anyone else, but this Memorial Day weekend was a particularly sad one. Knowing how Trump is crapping all over our Eastern allies and openly embracing Russia, knowing we’ve had Eastern allies fighting and bleeding alongside us during numerous conflicts over the years…
Looking at my father’s grave (who fought in WWII), surrounded by all of those flags scattered throughout the cemetery and considering the direction Trump is taking us…God, it was hard.
If I am Germany, I quickly begin developing my own nuclear arsenal and missile defense system and totally get rid of the racist United States.
Germany - they will stand on their own with former allies of the US (like France, Sweden, Norway, Italy, and Netherlands). They will thrive by being independent of the racist and Republican communist US. US Capitalism is communist capitalism where only the 1% thrive and everyone else is relegated to low wages, no healthcare, and fewer and fewer freedoms.
You have to hand it to him, he’s like a Bizarro World Army guy. He does more self-incrimination by 9 o’clock than most people do all day.
To Devil's Advocate this, the fact that #NSA cracked into top RUD was gonna come out in the forthcoming Trump impeachment & trials anyway.

I find myself measuring in hours these days. [sigh]
Absolutely – remember “Daimler Chrysler AG” ?? The “AG” stands for “Aktiengesellschaft”, meaning the company was registered in Germany, not the US, even though Chryslers continued to be made in the US (and, BTW, exported to Germany – for a while you could see PT Cruisers over here a lot).
So, what do we have now? Oh, yes, well, Fiat Chrysler NV (“NV” = “naamloze vennootschap” = registered in Holland). Soooooo…again, Chryslers are still being made in the US under the aegis of a Dutch company.
Ban the Dutch too??
Well, personally, I’d put quote marks around “communist” there. Under a truly communist system, everyone would be equal and everything would be share and share alike.
What we in the US (with very few exceptions) have called “communism” is based upon the mangled and twisted Soviet implementation of supposed communist/socialist principles had virtually nothing to do with the original concepts.
Glad to see he’s “regular” again.
I can answer that! He’s a fucking moron!
Is it possible that this pig-eyed sack of shit so-called president may stop Britain from Brexiting the EU? Do the Brits really want to go it alone right now?
Don’t worry Donald, you can claim it’s a Fake Impeachment followed by a Fake Trial for Treason.
And just this morning:
CNN says Russians discussed having derogatory information, financial in nature, on people involved with the Trump campaign.
NYT says Italy is starting to drift towards Moscow.
But, hey, Corker things the G7 went great, so there is that.
You spelled “Alafuckin’bama” wrong.
