The quote is from the documentation of Trump's 2019-07-25 phone call with Zelensky, modified to substitute "Germany" for "Ukraine"

A quick Google search of "Trump east Germany is Russian" didn't come up with anything other than stuff he said in 2018 about Germany depending on Russian energy

I too want to know, i wouldn't put it past him though

We're building a wall and Germany is going to pay for it!

I wish I had some kind of historical proof to show Russian control of half of Germany would not, infact, improve quality of life and make people happier.

Anyway I must go back to my hobby of reading the newspapers in order starting from the 1900s. I'm currently at August 12th, 1961.

I know that if he said this it wouldn't catch headlines any more than any of the other crazy shit that flies from his hole

But did he actually talk about "East Germany"?

Nothing is too crazy, but that pushes the borders of "too crazy to have been said"

His brain lives in the 70s, so it seems possible. I hope he didn't. "Vlad, I'll get Greenville and Canada, you get Germany. We're Emperors!"
