Macron isn’t even living up to his original 2% promise. Trudeau needs to quit running his trap about Trump with his teeny little .99%. I say the US doesn’t contribute a dime over the lowest country. And cut funding to the UN and zero goes to any who spit on us.

Huh? Do you know what those numbers are? The 2% has nothing to do with funding NATO, it's the minimum percent of GDP each country agreed to spend on their respective military budget. Yes, we need to reduce UN funding and foreign $$, but these numbers aren't related.
