Trump considers sanctions to block German-Russian pipeline

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s considering using U.S. sanctions to stop construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline between Russia and Germany.

“We’re protecting Germany from Russia, and Russia is getting billions and billions of dollars in money from Germany” for its gas, Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

He didn’t say whom the U.S. might sanction to block the pipeline.

Does he think Germany can't look out for its own interests? Does he think Russia isn't getting a fair price? And what the fuck business is it of his?

But it seems maybe I'm not that good of a guy.

I cannot WAIT to watch this senile old bat get DESTROYED in the Debates.

What am I saying, he'll refuse to debate. He knows he's nowhere near up to it.
