The president headed to Europe, tweeting all the way, like a modern cavalier on his way to do battle with the forces of corruption and bad governance:
The European Union makes it impossible for our farmers and workers and companies to do business in Europe (U.S. has a $151 Billion trade deficit), and then they want us to happily defend them through NATO, and nicely pay for it. Just doesn't work!Naturally, the bureaucrats' backs were up. (Kind of like Strzok's when he claimed absurdly that the many texts and emails in which he revealed that outrageously anti-Trump biases were not evidence of bias.
European Council president Donald Tusk spouted, "Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don't have that many." The president:
... accused the EU of being "terrible" to the United States on trade.
"We lost $151 billion last year dealing with the European Union," Trump told reporters, referring to the U.S. trade deficit with the 28-nation bloc. "So they can call me all sorts of names. And if I were them, I'd call me names also, because it's not going to happen any longer."
Trump was responding to a question about comments Wednesday from Tusk, who criticized the "capricious assertiveness of the U.S. administration" and asked: "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
"Well, I could reverse that," Trump shot back today. "Look, the European Union has been terrible to the United States on trade. They've been terrible to our workers."
Tusk's remarks followed Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and his threats to impose new tariffs on European steel and aluminum.
Trump said his criticism of the EU sprang from the 2.5 percent tariff that European carmakers face on exports to the United States, compared with the 10 percent tariff that the EU imposes on U.S.-made autos.

The EU is not our friend. They are like the European mafia.
The EU is the primary force behind global leftism. It is not only an enemy of the United States. It is an enemy of decent, freedom loving people all over the world.
The EU is evil and enslaving and must be destroyed.
Good article. I’m so glad to see President Trump call out the Yurps and especially the Germans for their greedy shameful conduct. I’ve been advocating it since the early 90s. I lived in Germany twice. They’re not our allies and they couldn’t defend themselves against a girl scout troop despite being a fairly wealthy country.
btw crowd numbers at the protests have been wildly inflated, especially by BBC, leading to claims by the London organisers that 250,000 attended their protest! find a pic online showing anything more than 20-30 thousand!
at 1min20secs BBC reporter states “certainly tens of thousands, possibly above that”...

Trump is correct. The EU is an adversary, not a friend.
When the EU becomes a Sharia Law state, the increase in the anti-American hatred will be imperceptible.
The turned out to protest Reagan, too.
Kneejerk Leftists.
We should have traded the Eastern Bloc countries with the USSR for Western Europe.
