But let's pretend you were just asking the "simple" version. The reasons Hitler gave for the declaration were-- 

The US was supplying the UK, lending it money ships, and using destroyers to protect US shipping to Europe against German submarines. He also complained of the US seizing German ships--perhaps a reference to ONE SHIP, a merchant flying the US flag, for violating the espionage act.

Trump-like, he blamed the Americans for defending their own convoys against German Wolfpacks, portrayed Roosevelt as dependent upon his wife, while emphasizing the amazing world historical importance of his own term in office and his decision to declare war--HUGE!

Surprisingly the same question asked the 3rd time is simpler; although the words have never changed. Just as surprisingly is your sudden limited knowledge of history as to why Germany would declare war on America. I can share with you many other reasons that Germany declared war on US if you are fuzzy.
