    Default GERMANY WANTS OUR 'BRATTY' AMBASSADOR OUT: "Complete diplomatic failure"

    This guy caused a dust up awhile back. I guess I thought he was recalled. Apparently not! Now Germany says that he is a complete failure.

    German politicians are calling for the expulsion of Trump-appointed ambassador Richard Grenell over his alleged interference in the country’s politics.

    The Financial Times reported Tuesday that figures across the German political spectrum have criticized Grenell for his comments about the country’s defense spending budget.

    Grenell, like President Donald Trump, regularly condemns Germany for the small size of its military budget amid NATO spending targets.


    In a tweet Monday, the US Embassy in Berlin echoed the president, saying Germany “reducing its already unacceptable commitments to military readiness is a worrisome signal to Germany’s 28 #NATO allies.”

    Only an uneducated dullard thinks the German political system isn't rife with stupidity. But alas, you have a severe case of TDS and once again have escaped from your padded cell to cry.

    You should consider being less of a pussy and triggering less.

    His confirmation as ambassador to Germany took a while, but when Richard Grenell arrived in Berlin in May he wasted no time riling up his new hosts. On his first day on the job, he tweeted that German companies doing business in Iran should “wind down operations immediately” because President Trump had decided to unilaterally withdraw from the painstakingly negotiated nuclear deal with Iran.

    Germans were not amused by an ambassador telling them what to do, but that hardly deterred our man in Berlin. What he did next was to give an outrageous and insulting interview over the weekend to Breitbart, summarized thus by the alt-right mouthpiece: “Trumpian U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell has expressed great excitement over the wave of conservatism in Europe, saying he wants to ‘empower’ leaders of the movement.”

    Mr. Trump was no doubt highly pleased by his envoy, a former United Nations spokesman, Mitt Romney campaign aide and Fox News contributor, whose confirmation was long held up by congressional critics over his history of provocative tweets, including several derogatory of the appearance of prominent women.

    But ambassadors do not represent a president; they represent a state, and they are not supposed to go around “empowering” nationalist movements or far-right ideologies in other countries. The Germans were furious. The new ambassador is behaving “not like a diplomat, but like a far-right colonial officer,” fumed Martin Schulz, the former European Parliament president.
