  1. Of course, the American troops in Germany were only there to protect Germany, right?

    🦅🦅🦅🦅

  3. Ah so the other comments make clear r/europe it’s a Trumper stronghold. Finally the weird vibe of r/europe makes sense.

  4. Here come the Americans in the comments now feeling superior to anyone in Europe. /Grabs popcorn.

  5. Americans in this thread really showcasing their inhuman levels of intelligence by not realizing that starting trade wars with the entire world might also hurt them

  6. This was posted in the middle of the night, when nobody here reads news.. You gotta do better when posting articles in bad faith.

  7. > Trump has floated the idea that, if he were elected, blanket tariffs of 10% to 20% could be imposed on almost all imports, no matter where they came from

    Basically everyone in the EU is preparing to the prospect of a Trump presidency, as each day passes it looks quite possible, unfortunately.

  8. If you’re from the US, don’t sweat, this is good for you that you might have a president who actually cares for HIS/YOUR country. Europeans have long since been brainwashed that Trump is bad and their masters who constantly piss on them are good… especially here on reddit.

  9. I think non-Americans will put up with a lot of America’s shit but when you mess with revenue even the Germans will grow a backbone. All this Trump ‘ trade wars are easily’ stuff is intellectually bankrupt.

  11. Lindner is a tosser but trade wars are not won but to be settled between losers.

  12. Keyboard worriers circle jerking on both sides. The internet really is pathetic some times

  13. Actually tweeted this response to some CPAC guy.

    > *Germany’s @c_lindner
    is naive to think that German business leaders want their government finance minister talking like this.
    German CEOs have been contacting President Trump and our team regularly to make clear they like his policies and their desire to work together.*
    > > **German CEOs want US tariffs on German products? This would be a big surprise… just give me one name, Richard. Shouldn‘t we continue the transatlantic cooperation? We‘re allies! CL**

    Edit: Just realized that was the former ambassador in Germany

  14. Trade war with the US, trade war with China, War with russia. Historians must be excited.

    Also, this is just preparation for the rhetoric coming from trump.

  15. No one shoulf give two shits about the opinion of this turd. In the last local election is party got 0.8%. People hate his neoliberal bullshit

  16. As an American I think our issues lie with China’s trade policy not Germany. This feels like classic Trump blustering to me

  17. Donald Trump the man who wants to start a trade war with the 27 democratic US allay countries in the EU but give democratic Ukraine to fascist Russia a country that literally targets thousands of nuclear weapons at the United States.

    Dear Americans WTAF is going on with you ?

  19. Im warning Christian Lindner for retaliation if he continues to be the single source why 85 million people are hindered to spend into their future against global warming and maintenance of i frasteucture, leading to an impact on the rest of the world as the worlds 3th greatest industry nation. This jackass deserves the worst.

  20. Lmao Lindner can shut it. They only thing he is good at is saying:”Haha, no!”

  21. Pretty sure they will be an enormous brain drain in the US under a fascistic dictator Trump.
    Soon there will be not much for the US to use in this kind of trade war.
