    Trump thinks America is helping Germany by stationing US soldiers there, when in fact it’s the other way round - Germany is doing America a favor by providing a strategic base.

    That’s how stupid this guy is, he doesn’t even understand the basics.

      Because the only foreign military in America is getting trained to use the equipment they buy from American companies…

      He assumes the only reason countries let American military in, is another grift with kickbacks.

      He doesn’t know what their grift is (likely because there isn’t one) but he literally can’t imagine anyone doing anything that doesn’t benefit them

      So he just cancels anything, and expects it to “hurt” like when someone fucks with his grifts.

      When people still negotiate because what he cancelled actually has a purpose, he just thinks that means he was right and they’re protecting a grift instead of having basic human empathy
