    On Trump & NATO: 1) He's not the first president to demand more from NATO. 2) He's not the first Republican president to speak frankly about NATO's shortcomings (as he sees them.) 3) He's especially not the first GOP president to frustrate U.S.'s NATO allies...1/

        ...10) Finally, there is a question of @realDonaldTrump's effectiveness. Will his approach work? Work better than past presidents? Jury's out but skepticism is warranted. P.S.) There is a counter viewpoint to all of this held by some FP thinkers on Right...7/

        ...These pple contend Trump's heart & head on NATO is more or less where FP traditionalists wld wish it to be, but he speaks differently in accomplishing this mission - & that those who understand his language understand this & therefore aren't worried. Time will tell. 8/8 -fin

        He is the first President, Dem or Republican to criticize NATO while being in Vladimir Putin’s pocket.

        When you attack allies that have come to your aid in times of war, and compliment and help the man that is responsible for deaths of Americans and a major attack on the US, yes, you are a puppet of Putin. The only people that don’t think so are those in his cult.

        Hysterical? Is that what you call fact checking a serial liar, and saying accurately that Germany does NOT get 70% of its energy from Russia as Trump claimed. But hey, what are facts and truth when you are drunk on Koolaid. Enjoy the cult!

        That’s funny as I just heard a well known Republican talking head saying “Trump is doing everything he said he would do” Of course, he never said he would be tough on Putin, but he never said he would bounce Vlads balls on his chin either.
