First, I think what happens in Germany is none of his business. We see how he reacts when anyone criticizes him.

Crime in Germany is down – see the AP Fact check. This is just Trump spewing lies and bigotry. He is encouraging nationalism in Germany.

If the President is attacking one of our NATO allies and spewing Bannon-like talking points, it must be Monday. https://t.co/RMSpaPanIp

Is Putin interfering trying destabilize the politics of the EU? Yes. But Trump is at the moment far worse. This is unheard of. https://t.co/9k0PtMoxlP

Continuing the remarkable pattern of Trump and his aides promoting the rise of the nativist right across Europe. He is not only attacking the American-led international order from the outside, but attempting to weaken it from within https://t.co/Wp1ARwi2aN

POTUS is now fomenting rebellion among our closest allies while he has also encouraged the rise of nationalism – in Germany. https://t.co/QIKsgURiLY

Crime rates in Germany are way down. But, more importantly: The US president wants to bring down the German chancellor. This is a turning point. https://t.co/koRei9Elio
