Merkel had to explain the 'fundamentals' of EU trade to Trump 11 times
 

President Trump did not understand that the US cannot negotiate a trade deal with Germany alone and must deal with the European Union as a bloc, a senior German official told The Times of London.

"Ten times Trump asked [German chancellor Angela Merkel] if he could negotiate a trade deal with Germany. Every time she replied, 'You can’t do a trade deal with Germany, only the EU,'" the official said.

They continued: "On the eleventh refusal, Trump finally got the message, 'Oh, we’ll do a deal with Europe then.'"

Merkel reportedly told her cabinet members that Trump had "very basic misunderstandings" on the "fundamentals" of the EU and trade.

Just how stupid is this clown?

If true, imagine how exacerbated/frustrated our clown is making her. Trump's base loves stuff like this.

I doubt we'll know the full extent for awhile yet.

The remaining question is how much shit the GOP will allow this clown to get away with before they acquiesce to his impeachment. His incompetence in pushing their agenda is pretty epic.

They got their Supreme court appointees, that's all that mattered. Pence getting to direct some Right wing agenda points is icing on the manure pile.

They can't even get together a agenda to push right now. To busy putting out fires started by Mr T.
