Trump goes to Saudi Arabia, a country with a Monarchy, a troubling history on human rights violations and a hierarchy known to support terrorism in the past and says: "I am not here to lecture you".

Trump goes to a NATO conference in Brussels and decides to lecture OUR allies about them not paying their fair share of NATO expenses. Then, refuses to pledge our commitment to Article 5.

Something is definitely wrong with Trump from a mental stability standpoint...............:(

Wait, all you liberals ever do is lecture us on how 'the rich should pay their fair share.' Trump goes to Europe and says the same thing and you are outraged. That's what TDS will do to you.

Trump has always had a solid point about our NATO allies paying their fair share and I support his efforts in this. But I suspect the liberals you criticize simply want him to do this behind closed doors and maintain a strong and public strength with our NATO allies reaffirming our tradition strong support of the alliance. And that is what is weak on his part.
 
There is no "fair share" There is a recommendation, which is a percentage of what a country spends on defence. NATO countries have declared 2% of GDP as a target by 2024, and are moving toward this. The USA choosing to spend an insane 3.3% boosts your contribution, but then the USA is the sole beneficiary of the Mutual Defence clause Donny is so keen to drop.

I'm beginning to think he had a stroke. If he did, no one will announce it for a long time. But, his behavior is certainly implying something like that may be the case. I read last night that he cancelled his June 1 rally. Makes me wonder about it even more.
 
I Love it, that's why Trump's Fall is going to be so sweet :lamo
 
I think that if Russia invades part of one of the countries that used to be part of the USSR with the same reasoning they used in Crimea, that the people there are Russians, Trump will stand back and say it isn't in out national interest to interfere. That is why Putin put him in power. We all know Putin wants to go back to the good old days of the USSR.

I don't see your point very well supported. It sounds more like slander than seriously leveled criticism. It's about reliable and unreliable allies and the Europeans just are not such. But I'm sure you mean to sound serious.
