Will there be a Harris/trump debate?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The Recovery from that Republican Recessiom was slowed by Republican foot dragging.

Shut downs, sequestration, whatever they could do… country be damned

There is definitely truth to that.

The Republicans, in general, have been poor stewards of the economy since Clinton took office. And it's getting worse.

No, nothing means anything. The same for Trump. Trump shouts his mouth off, doesn't mean anyone listened.

So you've just destroyed your own argument.

The FACT that they said they'd increase it in 10 years, before Trump got in, and after 10 years, 23 NATO countries hit that target... a coincidence? Probably not.

But it's a hell of a better argument than "Trump got angry, and then all the NATO members shat themselves and started pumping money into their military"
Maybe 23 wouldn't have hit that target in 2024 without a kick up the ass. But that kick up the ass was not Trump. It was Putin.

Why did they decide in 2014?

Obama urges NATO to increase defence spending

US president says European NATO members should “chip in” for a credible deterrent force because “freedom isn’t free”.

"Obama urges NATO to increase defence spending"

26 Mar 2014

The annexation of the Crimea happened on the 18th March 2014.

So, Obama's saying this because of what Russia did.

Then Russia invades the Ukraine in 2022 and defense spending then increases within two years.

As opposed to Trump who shouted his mouth of a bit and didn't see results.

A closer look at Trump's years of criticizing NATO, particularly on defense spending

Trump has long been critical of NATO, the post-World War II alliance between the U.S. and many European countries, particularly over defense spending

abcnews.go.com

2016 before he was president he made some comments and in 2017 he did the same. Then he attacked Germany in 2019.

https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2024/6/pdf/240617-def-exp-2024-en.pdf

Germany spent 34 billion euros in 2014, added 1.1 billion the next year, 1.7 billion the year after when Trump first made his comments.

Are we suggesting Germany increased its budget two years in a row because they knew Trump would criticize NATO two years later?

By 2019 Germany was spending 46 billion, that's 13 billion more than it was spending in 2014.

In 2020 it added added another 4 billion, because of Trump? Doubtful, defense spending doesn't just increase the next year, you need to plan for this way in advance. Then because of the coronavirus spending increases weren't so high.

Then in 2024.... they spend an extra 23 billion. Why? Probably because they're sending money to the Ukraine. That's what a lot of this is. You send equipment to the Ukraine and money as defense spending, it appears.

Does it mean their defense is better? No, it doesn't.

Trump as Potus managed to fullfill his Promise about
NATO.That some countries are not paying their fair share.
Most those countries acted quick and got on board.
Making NATO whole and not expecting the U.S.
to make up any deficit.
Under Biden NATO turned WOKE.Like practically overnight.
Some countries like germany had to cope with how they'll
deal with Oil shortages.Especially in the Winter.
Biden constant pleading to make sure Ukraine
and it's President { little schnook } get all the moola
they need is part of New World Order or Marxist/Socialist
attempt to implement ... Cloward-Piven strategy

Trump promised to debate Harris before he said he would not.

More bs Promises kept?
LOL

If she's the actual nominee, he'd be silly to not debate her.

Not so sure about that.It'd be a free ride for Harris.
Baiting Trump to use some racist lingo or negativity
about Feminism.She of course would Lie like a
career Convict in order to bait Trump to possibly
use wording that the MSM would taint as if
Racist talk.
The only way Trump wins is by making a Debate far into
September as possible.That way he can't be sentenced
till later in the month.No Politician in my life has ever
even remotely been Lied about as much as Trump.
