We had also been trying to get the Germans off Russian gas since at least Obama. They told us to go fuck ourselves until after Russia had invaded. When Trump said that Europe isn't pulling its weight in NATO he actually understated the problem. They were undermining the alliance for what were essentially bribes. It's not all that different from our corporations selling us out to Winnie the Pooh.
A bunch of high ranking Germans laughed at Trump when he said Germany was too dependent on Russian gas. It was live on TV when they did that. I bet they all regret it now.
And the American media presented it as "look, DRUMPF is so stupid that even foreign officials snicker and make silly faces while looking at each other when he speaks to them in public".
