Comments by "Aaron Okeanos" (@AaronOkeanos) on ""Neoliberal Warmonger" Biden Reconsidering Global Military Presence" video.
Trumps reaction on Germany was because he can't stand Angela Merkel a woman and a woman in power. She declined his G7 in-person meeting due to Corona he wanted to hold in Mara a Lago (probably to prop up his hotels finances) and since then was holding a personal grudge, but it was not the only time for friction between the two. This was his real personal reason and fits right in his flawed personality. Excactly like his denial of the 2020 vote. Add to this that Trump has good connections to American Weapons Manufacturer and/or has stocks in them and wanted to use the excuse that Germany not quite reach the 2% budget for NATO to make Germany force buying american weapons. Of course he doesn't know that Germany is by constitution not able to buy offensive weapons and nothing nuclear. Result of the 2nd World War. Again, a childish personal reaction from him. At the same time all strategic advisors and the generals told him it's a serious strategic mistake since those bases are not for Germany anymore, but for Eastern Europe and Ukraine and for NATO in general against Russia and as a base from and to the middle-east and to shorten the route for medical transports and logistics. Little Remark to this: Under the line Germany is even paying more every year in absolute terms into NATO than the UK (imagine that all this money is in defense only) but Trump probably didn't know that either.
