Donald Trump is no stranger to hyperbole, or the bellicose and boisterous showmanship of a New York City salesman – after all, he is the CEO in Chief – but even his most ardent supporters may be scratching their heads today.

Trump has been unapologetically proud of being an American, as are many of us here in the greatest nation to ever have existed.  The problem lies in the left’s willingness to distort this pride as some sort of xenophobic disaster waiting to happen in which Trump becomes literally Hitler – an allegation so predictable that it boggles the mind as to how it could exist at all.  It’s a sad reality, in fact, that the left views the love of our nation as some sort of condemning of the world at large.  That simply isn’t true.

The liberal libelers will certainly have more on this subject this week, as the President’s possible plan to ban the import of German cars has come to light.

President Trump wants to impose a total ban on the imports of German luxury cars, according to a new report from CNBC and German magazine WirtschaftsWoche.

Several U.S. and European diplomats told the news outlets that Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron about his plans last month during a state visit.

Trump reportedly told Macron that he would maintain the ban until no Mercedes-Benz cars are seen on Fifth Avenue in New York.

The report comes a week after Trump ordered Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to investigate auto tariffs and probe whether car imports are a danger to national security. A similar national security argument was used when Trump placed steep tariffs on aluminum and steel imports in March.

Merkel has no idea how pissed she is at Trump. LOL

"Excluding the EU, Germany is the third largest exporter in the world, after China and the U.S. In 2016, its trade surplus was 252 billion euros ($282.7 billion)."

Trump previously threatened imported German cars with a 35% tariff, though not mentioning American-made German cars.

There's a 10% import tariff for U.S. cars going into Europe and just a 2.5% import tariff for European cars coming into the U.S.

Imposing a 25% tariff will get their attention, though the percentage would probably drop. Trump simply wants to level the playing field, and this is how he does it.

Or he's just angling to force all the Daimler/BMW to be done here in the North American plants, providing more jobs here, fewer jobs there.

Yeah, that cunt Merkel will be totally pissed.
