From Der Spiegel
"Die Deutschen sind böse, sehr böse"

MSM news are reporting that Trump called the Germans " Bad , Very Bad "
Some news sites are reporting that Trump called the Germans " Evil, very Evil"
The discrepancy is that the 2nd translation is what you get with Google Translate. He may have said Nasty , very Nasty

He said this in regards to trade. Trump threatens to block German auto imports.
I am gona assume he meant "bad , very bad" .
So based on this assumption, my thoughts are: he calls them this but lavishes praise on the Saudis.

Sorry for the double, just saw the other thread. Can a Mod please delete or merge? Thanks

Two comments. First of all, this is a remarkably lifelike translation from Google Translate. There were a few hiccups elsewhere, and I doubt that Trump called the Germans "evil." I'm guessing he called them "nasty," which Spiegel translated to "böse," which Google then translated back to "evil." Nevertheless, I could read the entire article and figure out what everything meant without any trouble.
