The president may have been overstating his victory.


President Donald Trump on Thursday capped a tumultuous 24 hours of NATO talks with a press conference that reaffirmed U.S. commitment to the body, which he has attacked repeatedly this week.

After chastising European partners on Wednesday for not spending enough on defense, sparking fears that he could abandon the alliance, Trump changed tack by taking credit for what defense commitments NATO partners had already previously pledged.
======================================================
What a bombastic, lying blowhard.
 
Trump talks more **** aka lies than any POTUS that I am aware of in my life time but really, this is no surprise considering the serial liar that Trump is known to be

Trump is still on reality TV; it's a giant show about Trump 'playing' president & Trump will say anything just as long as it makes him feel good.
It doesn't even have to be true & more often that not, it isn't true.

'Liar in Chief' ............

yawn...

More spin.

Fact:

1. Yes. Trump chastised member for not spending enough on defense...as he also did last year.

2. No. Trump never indicated that the US would pull out of NATO. If his words "sparked fears" that such a thing might happen, that is entirely the responsibilities of those fearful members...not Trump's responsibility.

3. That means, regardless the spin, Trump is not walking back anything.

But hey...Trump haters will be Trump haters and no amount of honesty and reason will get them to change.

Carry on...
