Trump may have a point about defense budgets, but the trade deficit is hardly Germany's fault.  Want to tip the balance?  Make better products at a fair price.  

But I think Donald is crazy if he wants to threaten the EU -- even if they aren't ponying up as much cash for tanks and planes as he thinks they should.  If NATO crumbles, Putin will mop up.  And while Putin and Trump are buds, this won't do the US or the rest of the world any good at all.
