Trump in cabinet meeting just now...

[EarlG]

(Paraphrasing) "We're very disappointed in NATO not coming to help us. We'll remember that. We'll remember them not helping us. We'll remember that, in a couple of months, that they didn't help us."

Uhhh... what does he expect is going to happen in a couple of months?

[FarPoint]

1. He will never take any responsibility for his actions....

Predictable to blame others....wash, rinse repeat....

[ornotna]

2. He's an imbecile

Just watching him turns my stomach.

It baffles me that some people think he’s competent to be the President.

[EarlG]

5. Well, yeah

The guy is a complete basket case, and it's weird watching people sitting around him trying to pretending that isn't.

[agingdem]

8. the "best people" circling Trump are as mendacious as he is...

amoral, corrupt, malicious, cruel, and vengeful...and they are lining their pockets with taxpayer money...Trump is a multibillion dollar gig they don't want to give up..consequently they will praise, pander, rubber stamp, and "translate" his toxic delusional vomit into "Sounds good, sir, let's do it!"..regardless of the loss of livelihoods or the loss of lives...

[OGBuzz]

19. when his "presidency" ends, Trump, his family, and his entire Duma...

need to be permanently housed in Guantanamo. I hope they have enough cages.

[Grokenstein]

81. If not, they can always triple- and quadruple-up.

Every member of the crime family needs to experience the same conditions as their victims caged like animals in "detention centers." For the rest of their lives.

[wnylib]

63. If you've ever seen a film of Hitler's rise to power

and the behavior of his staff and military leaders toward him, listened to his voice in recordings of his speeches, or heard them reenacted in English, then what's going on now with Trump is very familiar. Remarkably familiar. Almost like Trump practices a script written for him to follow in Der Fuhrer's footsteps.

[Skittles]

77. pretending he isn't a moron is one thing

actively singing his praises and awarding him trophies takes their ass kissing to a whole new level

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. They preferred that to a competent woman

[Boomerproud]

32. Folks wonder why I always say there will never be a woman president in my lifetime.

I don't explain that prediction any more.

[Conjuay]

35. TWICE.

[maddiemom]

51. At least Hillary won the popular vote.

Could you imagine the Republicans standing by if they were "the people's choice" but lost the electoral college? I've read that they were gearing up for a fight because they were afraid that the 2016 election would turn out the opposite way around.

[Dave Id]

45. Trump is an imbecile

Only on his better daze. He's usually outright stupid.

[BootinUp]

3. Is that when we drop the nukes?

[Ocelot II]

4. He still hasn't figured out what NATO's purpose is,

although I'm sure it's been explained to him repeatedly that NATO is a defensive alliance that will come to the aid of a member that has been attacked. It is not obligated to assist a member that has instigated a war and finds itself in need of help because it's failed to plan adequately and has gone and fucked it all up.

[yorkster]

13. Well said.

[NCDem47]

14. NATO equals Defend and Protect

Trump is Offend and Attack

NOT the same thing asswipe!

[William Seger]

23. We no longer have a Department of Defense, Secretary of Defense, or defense budget

Now it's the Department of War, Secretary of War, and a war budget, so #rump thinks he has the right to demand war alliances instead of defense alliances. The theme of this coming election should be that congressional Republicans have utterly failed in their sworn duty to protect our Constitution from this dangerously insane president.

[vapor2]

29. every.single.republican is complicit in this destruction

they are more afraid of dementia don than they are of their voters

[progressoid]

42. I guarantee that the vast majority of MAGAs don't understand this either.

Hell, a lot of non-MAGA Americans probably don't know it.

[yellow dahlia]

60. Word!

[sop]

66. NATO allies strongly supported the U.S. after 9/11 by invoking Article 5, the "collective defense clause."

NATO considered the attack "an act against all members," and NATO Allies "supported the U.S. through direct military actions, including patrolling American skies, and providing troops for the war in Afghanistan."

[LeftinOH]

6. He has no idea what NATO is for. It's not the responsibility of

member nations to "help" fight a war that's instigated by one of the member nations. NATO did not "help" in Vietnam, for example.

[littlemissmartypants]

7. NATO is just one of the any number of

So-called 'buzz words' he uses to elicit emotions and fake intellectual superiority.

Everything that he says is bullshit.

Language full of form, devoid of content.

Thanks for the discussion, EarlG.

[BattleRow]

78. All fluff and no stuff...

[BeyondGeography]

9. Greenland comes to mind

Would he be crazy enough to do that even though the World Cup is in a couple of months? Who knows.

Bottom line, Trump despises liberal Europe and will use any pretext to undermine and (in his dreams) destroy it.

[underpants]

10. 😆😆😆

Link to tweet

?s=46

[moonscape]

11. He plans to leave NATO

[Ocelot II]

15. Which means NATO can band together to fight the US if Piggy tries to take Greenland,

just like Denmark has been anticipating.

[Stargazer99]

18. The American people apparently too stupid to figure that outno allies-

Putins plan

[leftstreet]

12. At least he's not giving them "48 hours"

wtf is he planning?

[Wicked Blue]

16. Hasn't he refused to pay our share of NATO's membership dues?

[Swede]

72. NATO has no dues, it is a voluntary treaty.

2% of GDP is the suggested amount each country should spend on defense.

[William Seger]

17. Sounds to me like we're running out of time to send that stupid SOB to a retirement home (nt)

[Happy Hoosier]

20. He is going to attempt to withdraw from NATO

The biggest possible gift to Vladimir Putin.

[hadEnuf]

41. That sounds like the best explanation.

Trump wants NATO to bow to him and they're not going to do it, so he will "punish" them too by withdrawing the US. And the Republican lap dog party will do nothing about it, as expected.

That's his M.O.; using our military and our tax dollars while Americans go hungry and can't afford healthcare. And he parties every weekend.

Is this country ever going to come out of its stupor?

[Nasruddin]

46. No

I have to assume that was a rhetorical question.

[Efilroft Sul]

21. Trump blames NATO members for not cleaning off his shoes after he stomped on a pile of shit.

And if NATO had the opportunity beforehand to tell Trump, "Don't step on that pile of shit," he still would have done that anyway.

[Solly Mack]

22. He's hoping to tax them to use the Strait of Hormuz.

I'm just throwing it out there.

[MadameButterfly]

48. yeah. The US controlling the straights of Hormuz would be a dangerous thing

[Solly Mack]

53. True. He aspires though. No matter how delusional those aspirations are.

He's all over the board on Iran - and other things.

[OhioBack2Blue]

61. So he IS employing diversity as a competitive strategy and sees it as a strength for the U.S.

[Solly Mack]

62. It's a crazy regime.

[Vinca]

24. My husband put that on during lunch and I had him change the channel because I was going to puke.

Trump was bragging about the bloody pen he was using, said it's worth a thousand dollars, but when he ordered them the guy offered to provide them to him for free. Trump, generous man that he is, said he'd pay $5 a pen. For a thousand-dollar pen. Bragging about screwing over the little guy on live TV.

[D_Master81]

26. You went to war with a non NATO member

[vapor2]

27. We the people are disappointed in him and we will remember this

HE has done NOTHING to help us.

[BattleRow]

79. Doing an unparalled job ON us..NOT....FOR us!

[LudwigPastorius]

28. He's probably referring to the next regularly scheduled NATO summit on June, 24 & 25.

Now, what he expects to do there besides air his insane grievances is anyone's guess.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Trump hopes to have control over Hormuz and charge huge prices for passage thru?

NATA countries will get screwed.

[Maru Kitteh]

31. Putin.

I would wager that that ferret faced bastard has decided to attack Poland or another NATO country

[MadameButterfly]

49. Since he doesn't know the difference between NATO helping against

being invaded, and NATO helping with an invasion

[Maru Kitteh]

71. Precisely. It's all the same to him. Nt

[malaise]

33. Has Charlie called off the trip yet?

What about the FIFA World Cup - is that still on?

This in effed up on so many levels starting with illegality and genocide.

[MadameButterfly]

50. Why is the Olympics even happening in the US?

[Totally Tunsie]

34. At least twice, chump referred to "47 years" as in

"For 47 years, no other president has ever..."yada, yada, yada

Did he mean 47 presidential terms? "47 years" makes no sense in the context, but that's not unusual for this moron.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

38. He's talking about the 47 years since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran which resulted...

...in the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty which was heavily backed by the U.S.

That was a turning point in the region.

[Totally Tunsie]

40. Ah. Thank you for the clarification.

I had this on simply as background noise and totally missed that.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

43. To be fair: I'd be willing to bet he couldn't tell you anything about what happened 47 years ago--he's just been...

...told it was important so he keeps referencing it to sound less like an idiot or to give it more weight.

[3catwoman3]

65. He probably doesn't know what happened 47 minutes ago...

...unless it was about him,.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

36. He also said we were there for Europe when they needed us. I guess he doesn't know the history of how...

...the U.S. ended up getting involved in WWII.

It's almost like he doesn't know the history of anything....

Very stable genius indeed.

[BattleRow]

80. Histrionics absolutely...history,eh,not so much.

[sagetea]

37. retribution.

it sees that they will not do what it wants, and will hurt them in any and every way it can. Do not disqualify his nastiness. He is so predictable. All you have to do is imagine the worst thing, then add infinity, and he will do it. He is a criminal who has got away with some of the worst actions another human being can do another, is still free to do even more inhumane actions on other humans, and is in one of the most powerful bodies of government, to take his less than basic taunts and ignore it is detrimental to life.

It's going to be jaw dropping, no matter what it is. Just expect it.


sage

[obamanut2012]

39. And, that isn't what NATO is for, anyway

[ChicagoTeamster]

44. He's probably going to help Russia against Ukraine and NATO.

NATO charter joins members to the defense of North America and Europe, not the Middle East or Israel. Article 5 of the UN charter was only invoked once. After Sep 11. And NATO countries contributed troops and equipment to the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[MadameButterfly]

54. THis is why he couldn't accept help from Ukraine on anti-drone

warfare in the Middle East

[Crunchy Frog]

68. Ukraine contributed too, even though it wasn't in NATO. For whatever that's worth.

[aggiesal]

47. Elections! n/t

[gordianot]

52. Try sometime to count the obvious lies he tells in one breath.

By the third breath you could easily lose track. Personally he provides a service to those of us who may have had a doubt or question our ability to understand truth.

[twodogsbarking]

55. Thank you NATO.

You too EarlG

[FakeNoose]

56. This shows he's still getting his talking points from Pootie

[Kid Berwyn]

57. Dipshit thinks he's a magical king.

Whatever he says may go in his lardass brain, but doesn’t count for doodley squat in reality.

My guess for two months from now: Operation BIG ROUNDUP.

[IcyPeas]

58. He got a golden awaed yesterday and

millions in gold that they "brought back" from Venezuela.

He should be happy today.

Poor little man.

He's never been told NO so publicly.

Hahaha Donald
Go fuck yourself

[Warpy]

59. And nobody asked him WHY he was "disappointed?"

My best guess says Putin told him so. I just wish someone would ask that fat POS for clarification, just once and in publc/.

[Figarosmom]

64. WE WEREN'T ATTACKED, why would they help us?

He must be planning on taking Greenland in a couple months. Congress better get their shit together fast.

[orangecrush]

67. He's going to stand down for Putin

Completely.

[Crunchy Frog]

69. The same NATO that he's been bullying and threatening since he came back into office?

[Wonder Why]

70. Somebody, please, shove the cabinet door closed really, really hard.

[mdbl]

73. When Drumpf speaks, the world yawns

The echo-chamber is already oversaturated with BS.

[HighFired49]

74. Cuba

No text

[proud patriot]

75. When we were attacked Nato was there

I'm so tired of this Mad Man .

[Marcuse]

76. Trump in cabinet meeting just now...

[emiami]

82. IRAN IF YOU'RE LISTENING

I AM OUT OF REACH . THE TRAITOR MUST BE ENDED. THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU TRAITOR ARE WRITTEN IN THE STARS , STRIPES AND AMERICAN SACRIFICE TO END WORLD WARS. Sovereign nations are SOVEREIGN. FULL STOP.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

83. trump thinks that a test for dementia is an IQ test

It's actually a dementia test. And doctors *only* give it to patients when they see signs of mental decline to gauge how bad it is.

The fact that Donald is bragging that this has happened at least three times underscores why doctors thought he was experiencing mental decline.

[Shermann]

84. Phase 3: Profit

Phase 1: Attack Iran
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit

[Qutzupalotl]

85. Rule number 1: NATO for defense only.

Rule number 2: First, learn rule number 1.

[Aussie105]

86. A threat a 5 year old would be proud of!

"Not fair! Not fair!
Don't make me angry NATO, you wouldn't like it if I get angry!
Wait and see!"

. . . Trump reaches for another ketchup bottle to throw at the wall . . .

Even if Trump disappeared today, America will get the side-eye from the rest of the world, and the question will be:

"How did you America, let it get down to this?"

[thought crime]

87. "in a couple of months"

Springtime in Greenland? In a couple of months he'll be looking for a distraction from Iran, or Cuba.

[usaf-vet]

88. The A-hole spent the first days of his administration doing NOTHING but calling them names like a five-year-old.....

..... I hope at some point NATO tells him in CLEAR words to Fu_k off, you deranged spoiled child.

They need him to understand that we are an alliance that works together to help each other in times of need.

We are not your plumber who will drop everything when your gold toilet is plugged.

[Ford_Prefect]

89. He's planning another shot at Greenland???

[Ruby the Liberal]

90. Hopefully we can file this with the default "in 2 weeks"

[SpankMe]

91. Why would NATO help? The US hasn't been attacked.

Trump's small mind can't comrehend that.
