trump claims he told NATO country he would not protect them if Russia attacked them

[jc456]

“Is isolationism the trump policy or is he just playing to his base ?”

Both.

Reckless, irresponsible, and wrongheaded, Trump’s isolationist dogma is further proof that Trump is unfit to be president.

Why is America first bad, traitor?

So you hate Americans too huh?

Telling deadbeat NATO members that they need to pay their dues or no NATO protection pays dividends.
Last time Trump got the deadbeats to pay more than $100b and strengthened NATO.

Secretary General thanks President Trump for his commitment to NATO

Secretary General thanks President Trump for his commitment to NATO​

That Trump would abandon our allies to Russian aggression comes as no surprise, of course – consistent with Trump’s contempt for democracy and support for authoritarian dictators and despots such as Putin.

Given this and countless other examples of Trump being unfit to be president, voting for Trump is indeed unmitigated madness – there’s no other explanation.

‘The White House later Saturday called Trump’s remarks “appalling and unhinged” and touted President Joe Biden’s efforts to bolster the alliance.

“President Biden has restored our alliances and made us stronger in the world because he knows every commander in chief’s first responsibility is to keep the American people safe and hold true to the values that unite us. … Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability, and our economy at home,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.’

Further proof that Trump is unfit to be president.

Why did Russia invade the Crimea under Obama’s watch and Ukraine under Biden’s watch but invaded nobody under Trump’s watch?

 

[Desperado]

He attacked Haley for her husband not being there, because he's deployed with the military.

I mean, how does he keep the support of military members when he so blatantly attacks them?

I think Trump has reached the point where he can say just about anything now and people will defend him no matter what. As if to admit they're wrong, they'd have to admit they're stupid or something, so double down and support him even more.

Explain why someone in the South Caroling reserve unit is doing in Africa?

Define "fair share".

/----/ 2% of each country's GNP as they agreed to when they joined. A simple Google search would keep you from asking dumb questions.

This is How Much NATO Countries Spend on Defense

How much does each country in the military alliance contribute to NATO defense spending? We break it down with this map.

www.visualcapitalist.com

The agreed-upon target for European NATO members, for example, is to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024

 

[Not That Guy]

Due to the hatred from democrats, I fully support Trump. If he calls on Russia to nuke Europe, I am all for it.

Why? Cause the democrats will be upset. Maybe even experience real feelings vs their fake outrage

/----/ Stop lying. President Trump succeeded in getting NATO countries to pay their fair share.

They are supporting putin now.

In what way?

 

[jc456]

It’s not his actual policy. We saw that 2016-2020. I might have more respect for him if it was, because it JS my ideology.

No wars is a policy. Did he start any? Did anyone else?

But hey, you’re a liar an disinformation king

NATO and Joe Biden criticise Donald Trump for comments that 'put American and European soldiers at risk'

NATO made the intervention after Mr Trump said he would let Russia "do whatever the hell they want" to members of the alliance that don't pay enough for defence at a rally in South Carolina on Saturday.

I cant decide.
It seems like a policy designed to appeal to remedials but it is also possible that he actually believes it.
The previous policy of isolationism ended in Pearl Harbour. The worlds biggest economy cant afford to cower behind a big wall.
America is not a strong ally when it gives us presidents of this low quality.

Trump only believes in advancing his own cause, whatever that might be at the time. Saying things he knows level 1 thinkers will agree with advances his cause(s).

Trump whining and lying about NATO ‘paying dues’ illustrates that he was – and is – unfit to be president.

Treating our long-time allies like tenants in an apartment building with threats of eviction for not paying rent demonstrates Trump’s comprehensive ignorance of foreign policy and a lack of understanding of international affairs.

Given Trump’s level of ignorance and incompetence, insanity is the only reasonable explanation as to why anyone would vote for the likes of Trump.

 

[Mac-7]

So you hate America, interesting

I wonder if Mac1958 cares what happens to America?

He seems to be one of the libs who is planning to defect to a foreign country if things fall apart here

 

[BluesLegend]

Is isolationism the trump policy or is he just playing to his base ?​

We only want to isolate ourselves from asshole Democrats. That said yes we are tired of asshole Dems and Reps screwing us over on world trade to line their own pockets.

 

[BS Filter]

Any head of state chooses their words very carefully. Except Trump, he just says what’s on top of his pee brain. The world knows his words aren’t something to take seriously

That's why he's popular with the people and hated by the statists. He's a man of the people.

You forgot to add his inability to think beyond level 1 of a problem. Hence his ability to fuck up any business that he has ever been associated with.

The people decided they didnt want him in the WH any longer.
