    Economic relations between US and Germany were largely untroubled till Trump came along.

    I don't consider tariffs on the US and not Germany or lopsided tariffs in Germany's favor as untroubled....but that is just me.

    If you are running a business aren't you supposed to be hard at work in your shop instead of spending so much time on AM bragging about Mr Trump's achievements?

    That is one of then perks of owning my own business...I can use my time however I want. I can pop in here and brag about President Trump and still take the time needed to get my business needs done.....I can work on it whenever I want. I can do my paperwork at midnight if I choice or I can do it in between customers. I answer to me.
    And I am really not here that much. Lol

    You probably must dream about him. Have you ever given him a hug?

    Never seen him in person..but not worried about hugging him. I would certainly shake his hand. 
    I have shaken Bill Clinton's and Mike Huckabee's hands. This post was edited by my2cents at June 30, 2018 3:39 PM MDT

    Trump answers only to himself as well.  Have you not noticed what happens when the criminal him or herself is also the judge of the court?

    A pyrrhic victory. Germany doesn't import a meaningful number of vehicles from anywhere, especially not the US. German import tarrifs isn't the reason for this, the quality of its cars is. An increase in US tariffs on German cars would hurt them, but a reduction in German tariffs on US vehicles won't affect the ledger - the Germans aren't buying.

    The point is free trade should be tariff free on both sides.
