I know.It just seemed like it was some kind of commemorative gathering to remember the victims and then he kind of goes off on one about defence spending.I agree with what he said though.

He was spot on, it was a NATO meeting, condolences were paid first plus a minutes silence, then down to business.
Not a Trump fan but he said exactly what he has preached to be fair, in this instance.

She is the Chancellor, the German equivalent to our Prime Minister, her party won the last election and she is leader of her party.

Yeah, same over here, we have a president but he's more for appearances and ceremonial stuff, the Taoiseach is the one who's actually running the country

Trump is a repeat offender MORON!
It was explained to him in very basic (and explicitly factual) terms last time he claimed that NATO members literally owed the US bigly amounts of cash that that isn't how it works yet he repeated the same claim this time! Is it plain stupidity or blatant ignorance on his part ? I'd say it's probably a large (or even ''Yuge....people everywhere are saying it'') amount of both.

The idiot isn't even mentally equipped to run a bicycle let alone a ****ing Country!

I'd be absolutely amazed if he's still living in the White House this time next year! He's already sunk up to his mouth in the **** swamp and, if early reports are true (and the source is known for the reliability of their information), ''Michael Flynn is working with U.S. Attorney’s office, has begun process of flipping on Donald Trump'' (which explains why he plead the 5th earlier this week) then his alledged 'Presidency' doesn't have long to go.
For the sake of all the decent Americans, who still want the best for their Country and EVERYONE who lives in it, let's hope that the damage done by this utter bufoon and his supporting cast of criminals and ne'er do wells isn't irreversible.

I agree Smudgie,I wouldn't say he 'ripped' into them either,he just said what he thought,nothing wrong with that.

That is absolutely disgusting. Does Trump not understand good manners?
What an egotistic jerk.

I think it was perfectly reasonable to ask them to pay fees that they are due. If they want to NATO to continue and be strong those not paying their fair share must do so. As to timing why would asking people to pay what they owe ever be inappropriate?

Spitting in someone's face, is an attack, Trump just pulled back this chump out of the place that he is supposed to stand in.
