Word for Word: President Trump Strongly Criticized Germany at Start of NATO Summit (C-SPAN)

"Germany is a captive of Russia," President Trump said at a breakfast hosted by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. The president was in Brussels, Belgium for the start of the annual NATO summit. He made remarks critical of Germany for an energy agreement it made with Russia, and said Germany's contribution to NATO was insufficient relative to what the U.S. paid into the 29-member military alliance.

Spot on, Im in Germany and people are realizing what’s happening now!

[graphite]

Looks like he was prophetic. If only everybody had taken him seriously.

[jonlee]

This aged well! Haha now who's laughing

[bigguys]

I came back for this one because I remembered him saying this

[bog_tv]

Its crazy how they said he was attacking his allies, nah he was doing the exact opposite. Trying to keep the lights on in Germany... Meanwhile calling him a Russian asset. Incredible!!

[crunchyapples]

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

[thomasbrown]

Imagine Biden trying to mutter this out

[gerryz]

Hahaha it’s crazy how a man that’s so “stupid” and “crazy” was able to predict this but none of the other politicians from around the world could …

[splatmacpuffin]

This didn’t age well for Germany and NATO. Trump called them out. Balls.

[anniebhere]

This is EXACTLY why they don’t like him. He calls everyone out.

[davidgutierrez]

Now all of Europe is paying the price. Thanks Germany, once again..

[joeecho]

His retort is not only on point but prophetic. 2022 is calling 2018 and saying "we're sorry, President Trump. You were right."

[Brad]

Now they’re being dependent on Coal fired power, it has increased from 8.4% to 33% in 2022.

[boredomgo]

This should be the only campaign ad he runs.

[thekatephillips]

Love or hate his personality, you have to admit that Trump is smarter than most people realize.

[cyclepath]

It blows my mind that so many people could be so

[sectionusmc]

September 2022 and it's like he said it yesterday. Not so funny meow, is it, Germany ?

[je]

2018 Called and said “we're sorry, President Trump. You were right. We were idiots then and are idiots today. We called you crazy because we were crazy ourselves and wanted to hide this from the public. We don't know shit about what we are doing and need to be replaced."

[bpet]

Instead of sliming and kissing asses he just reveals the truth

[sjtobe]

Truth hurts. Why do people have a problem with that? He's doing exactly what he should be doing as a leader of a country. Have you not noticed what's happening to the people of Germany? It's been so damn long since anyone in politics told the truth that people think it's WAKE UP!
