NATO has only come to the aid of a member once ... the US, after 9/11!

Blackrock would not like Trump interfering with their war contract money.

He's a pathetic embarrassment to America. Nothing new there. The GOP has dug itself into such a deep hole over the last 7-8 years and they just keep digging. My former party is unsavable at this point, and it will take at least a generation to overcome. Quite possibly two generations.

Trump talking about people not pay their bills is rich. 🙄

[senseofstile]

The problem is Europe wants to be protected but, refuse to pay. Now they will suffer if they don't pay. Please pay, that was the point.

Lock him up. He is completely a nutcase.

[moomie]

Remember, when we asked for help after 9/11, NATO was there to help us. We should never abandon our allies, as they have never abandoned us.

To stand on the side of freedom and democracy and to fail to support the people who are resolutely fighting against lawless aggression,
It is an affront to the many American soldiers who sacrificed their lives in World War II.

No NBC its not backlash its called truth.

[ced]

Inflicting power, cruelty, and pain on others pleasures Trump.

[nedcroughan]

Those who don't learn from History will be bound to repeat it .

[parkiwi]

NATO stands for everything that Trump opposes. Democracy, individual freedoms, justice and truth.

[douglasgray]

This is hugely funny considering he has a long history of not paying contractors!!

[Coral-reef.]

MSM YOU PEOPLE ARE TRYING SO SO SO HARD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[cleetismcdougall]

Watch the whole speech. I’m not a big Trump fan but the media is ridiculously biased.

[DS-rydd]

Before Trump his supporters would have knock the crap out of anyone who insults America the way he does constantly.

[visaelvmp]

They forgot to mention the backlash is between them 😂😂

[bigboppa]

Their objective is not to rule so much as it is to divide, to pit humans against one another in an endless cycle of violence, hatred, and misery.”

[mikeroy]

Those folks ought to pay their own way, they have the means, they have their own money, provide your own way. Simple

All he's asking is for NATO countries to honor their agreement of spending 2% of their GDP on defence spending. That's all he's asking for.
