Former U.S. president Donald Trump spoke about his tough relationship with Germany throughout an election marketing campaign look on Sunday.
“They didn’t love me, and I have heritage there,” mentioned the Republican presidential candidate throughout a cease in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
Trump’s paternal ancestors hail from Kallstadt within the south-western German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
He famous that the Germans had liked his predecessor within the White House, president Democrat Barack Obama.
“You know why? Because they ate our lunch,” mentioned the Republican presidential candidate for the election on Tuesday, referring to his notion that Germany has allegedly been profitable on the expense of the United States.
Trump then spoke about then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel: “They didn’t love me because I said you gotta pay. You gotta pay. I said to Angela. Angela, you haven’t paid.”
Trump was presumably referring to Germany’s defence spending in view of its NATO obligations.
Mimicking a German accent, the Republican mentioned that “Angela” had instructed him that “[Germany] will start [paying] by 2035.”
“They think we are stupid people,” he added.
