Trump on Germany and Merkel

During the election campaign, Donald Trump said that he had a difficult relationship with Germany.

They didn't like me, and I have roots there, the US presidential candidate complained.

The publication noted that Trump, on his father's side, comes from the German community of Kallstadt, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

According to the politician, the Germans allegedly liked Barack Obama more.

“You know why? Because they robbed us (literally: “They ate our lunch”), Trump said.

The publication noted that he probably had meaning that Germany achieved such success “only thanks to the USA”.

In addition, the former US president spoke about the then German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

They didn't like me because I said: you have to pay. You have to pay, I said to Angela. “Angela, you haven't paid,” the Republican said.

Journalists noted that at that moment the politician was probably referring to Germany's defense spending, given its commitments to NATO.

Imitating a certain German accent, Donald Trump also claimed that Angela Merkel allegedly told him that “Germany will pay until 2035.”

They think we're stupid people,” Trump complained.
