A Trump spokesperson should make sure the American people know about this. We are talking about serious dollars here.
Denmark(who last week said they would make up their shortfall) alone is behind over $2 billion. Add in the other rich nations like Germany and Belgium and others and you are looking at well over $15 billion.
This is a big deal!

I’m almost sick of winning. Not yet.

The principle of paying what they committed to pay is even more important than the money we save. They can’t feel like they can just roll all over us, just because we want to keep NATO.

“two percent of their GDP”
==
The Euros are getting a great deal at only 2%. They can cough it up or keep spending it on bringing in more Muslims to rape and pillage their continent - and then be left with no one to save their bacon the next time they fall apart.

Really impressive on Trump’s part. Best 2 weeks of politics I have seen in 8 long years....
To: GonzoII
Besides the UK, Poland, Estonia, Greece, and the United States are the only members of the 28-country alliance meeting the 2 percent threshold. The US contributes the highest proportion of its GDP to the military block, some 3.61 percent, according to NATOs 2015 Annual Report.

“just roll all over us,”
I hope most of the American people are paying attention. We have not seen this kind of results from a President in decades. When he is done with his 100 days, Trump will turn out to be the most consequential non-wartime President in history.

Yes, absolutely! Trump should mention his “wins” in his weekly tv addresses to the nation.

I fear getting used to it.
