-- If they wont defend themselves, we shouldn't even worry about them. --

At this point in history, the US could resaonably scale its contribution in terms of "matching" the pecentage of GDP of the other beneficiaries of the alliance. If the average %GDP of the other members is 0.9%, we'll kick in 0.9% of ours.

That way they control the financial total of the alliance.

One mark of true leadership is to tell it like it is, no sugar coating, no politics. I would much rather have a boss that is straightforward than one who weaselwords everything.

Notice all the whiny libs replying with shock and display that Trump could be such bully and how much they miss Obama -- meanwhile we find it refreshing to see an alpha male for a change. How the other half lives...

“.... I would much rather have a boss that is straightforward than one who weaselwords everything.”.....

No weasel words coming from Trump. He missed the opportunity to tell the NATO nations that they have a specific time period to pay up or the U.S. will drop out of NATO completely, kick the headquarters out of the U.S. and tell them to come up with the money on their own, we’re done financing the world for a lost cause.

They are all Defense Ministers for their various countries.
I don’t recall what countries the various Ladies represent, but the Guy in the middle is the Defense Minister for Russia.

People normally look on in silence when someone is giving a speech, so why was that awkward?

Well, the U.S. contributes most of the financial support, so he should be the boss.

"This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States, and many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years," said as the other leaders stood in awkward silence.

God bless you, President Trump.

I believe the women were defense ministers for Germany and a few Scandinavian countries.

U.S. will drop out of NATO completely, kick the headquarters out of the U.S.

NATO headquarters is in Brussels. UN headquarters is in the US.

We shouldn’t pay until everyone else has caught up on their past due bills to the last penny. If ever.

And while doing it, he rubbed his nose in the fact that we paid the lion’s share of the new NATO HQ...was lovely to watch it.
