Oh Donald , always the diplomat
Dale Carnegie is spinning in his grave
Oh for a photo of someone kicking him squarely in the balls and doing a hat dance on his face…
ME? Horse’s Ass in Chief staying true to character.
“The Great Negotiator”
I hope it was in full Dr. Evil pose.
“You owe me …”
You owe me? You are not NATO or the United States or anything but the current occupant of an office you have no respect for.
And neither Merkel or Germany owes anything, especially to you (except, as suggest by @zlohcuc, a ‘strong’ kick to the balls).
Trump is making a lot of enemies. Allies rebuffed. Corporations and their employees suffering losses due to his trade policies. Immigrants losing children. Minorities losing various rights and financial assistance. Who knows what foreign citizens and governments his various shenanigans have screwed over. He should watch his back.
They don’t call him a dickhead for nothing.
I have enough trouble following the colossally stupid things trump says now, without worrying about the colossally stupid things he said a year-and-a-half ago!
“You owe me one trillion dollars,” Trump reportedly told her, according to an official briefed on the session who spoke with WSJ. Trump was reportedly referencing what he estimated as the gap between the amount of money Germany was suppose to spend on its own defense under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) over the past 14 years, and what it’s actually paid for.

“Reports that President Trump had presented the federal chancellor with a kind of bill with a concrete billion sum are not true,” spokesman Steffen Seibert said at a press conference.
I’d hate for this to happen, but I wonder if there was a way to get the truth.
In other news of folks that don’t know anything about trade, ok this is Trump too.
More shart of the deal.
Merkel: Eat a bag of dicks.
BUT… as the collection agent tRump will get a 10% recovery fee
Can we finally dispense with the nonsensical idea that we need a “businessman” to run the government?
I’ve read he’s got this idiot idea that the first thing you should do is put your opposite number off balance with some outrageous attacking opening move. He’s too naive, really, to realize that any serious player doesn’t take that crap personally and get all intimidated. Anybody at all savvy about interpersonal stuff learns that much on the playground. It’s why Donald became a third-rate pitchman himself and bag man for Russian mobsters. Nobody legitimate would put up with his nonsense. That, and declaring bankruptcy all the time.
Yeah I’m about ready for that. At least we can agree a flagrantly failed “businessman” is not the way to go.
Oh well maybe next D president will also straighten out previous R president’s fucked up economy…
One billion dollars. Did he get that number from Putin?
Exactly. He uses that with suppliers and vendors that don’t have much money and can’t afford to litigate. But when you’re dealing with an equal, it doesn’t work in the slightest. The other thing he doesn’t get is that he has to deal with the same set of players over and over again and beating them up on one deal (if it’s possible) will come back to bite him in the butt later. He only thinks of zero sum (I win, you lose) and can’t even imagine win-win situations.
