I suspect trade is also why they are so supportive of the nuke deal with Iran.
To: Pearls Before Swine
Of course it is. They’ve got to pay for all that socialism somehow.

No need to suspect, it is patently obvious the Europeans do not want to lose export business to Iran so they can get oil from Iran. Unlike USA, Europe depends on importing oil.

Isn’t it a pure joy to see an American president take advantage of other countries’ vulnerabilities to get a better deal for US interests?

No way....on both counts. I lived there. They’re far more socialist and their level of taxation is far higher than ours.

They call their economy the “social market economy”. About the one area taxes are lower is the corporate rate, but that applies to Red China too.
Have a look at their Basic Law sometime. Lots of restrictions on freedom as well.

What about all the tariffs the Germany and the EU charges us? Why does everyone let them off the hook?

Globalism almost destroyed the US economy. Thank God Trump is changing that. You and you ilk will be defeated. Globalists will be bested by nationalist patriots. That is one note I am proud to sing.

In germany a citizen can argue with a cop
unlike here
Germany doesnt have illegal checkpoints, illegal constitution free zones 100 miles from the border.
Its been a long long time since we have lost our freedom

I do not fear a trade war by any stretch of the imagination. The United States is wealthy with natural resources. The only pain delivered by high import tariffs is the kick in the butt we need to restart local industries outsourced to China a decade ago.
