CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that she believed former President Donald Trump’s comments on NATO were “literally insane.”
At a rally, Trump said, “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said you didn’t pay, you’re delinquent? He said yes. Say that happened, no, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay. You have to pay your bills.”
Amanpour said, “People are aghast. I mean, they view that kind of invitation, encouragement, from the front runner of the United States for the Republican nomination to be, you know, literally insane. I mean, for a presidential candidate of the United States to say that kind of thing publicly while President Putin is having an interview in order to put down his lines of negotiation, which essentially are negotiation on his terms only over Ukraine. For the leading Republican candidate, who people must take at his word, nobody’s trying to guess what he’s saying. They’re taking him at his word. It’s caused a huge amount of anxiety, as you can imagine.”

It’s only insane how they completely misrepresent what Trump said.
CA herself is quite the expert on “literal insanity”?
Good to know that she has internet PhD in the subject. / ha ha and KMA
Clearly she’s not using the word “literally” literally. She sounds like a 6th grader - but not as smart.
Amanpour is a leftist hack. Why in the world should American taxpayers pay, essentially, the full freight of NATO’s own respective national defense? Why? Is it not reasonable to demand that each NATO country pay their fair share, the share that they agreed to pay?
The Biden administration, and Obama before him, have been treating NATO countries like the like the wimps with student loans who are too selfish to pay back what THEY borrowed. American taxpayers are in no way obligated to pay for everyone’s national defense, the defense of the Strait of Hormuz and everywhere else on the planet. We now have $34 trillion in debt. Enough. Trump is correct, despite the faux politically calculated “outrage”.
Isn’t this the one who celebrates 9/11 every time she eats dinner at home?
The thing is that when Trump makes statements like this, voters know he’s exactly right.
Yes, Christiane Amanpour celebrates 9/11.
Christiane Amanpour, another walking propaganda tube.
I used to think integrating a polynomial was literally insane. Trump soars far above the liberal hive mind.
These people are not capable of understanding a stable genius. They have taken his tongue-in-cheek comments completely out of context, completely out of tone, in order to fashion more fake news!
I loathe, despise and hate that leftist/commie/socialist/fascist bitch.
Trump is a master negotiator. These are negotiation words.
“Amanpour said, “People are aghast. I mean, they view that kind of invitation, encouragement, from the front runner of the United States for the Republican nomination to be, you know, literally insane.”
Which people are aghast? The folks at CNN, the Times, MSNBC, DNC, Christine Amanpour? I’m not aghast. She knows Trump was making the comment in the context of how he would negotiate with the NATO deadbeats in upping their defense spending to the 2% of GDP mark so we are not shouldering the burden.You don’t pay. We shut the lights off.Pay! Cannot stand this self important simple minded moron politically agendized”reporter”
So...what’s thr incentive to pay? How is Trump the only person to see this?
She’s still around? How unfortunate.
I love how worked up they get about this. She said it’s “terrifying” to them....so terrifying that you won’t miss a payment?
The Jew hater says what honestly nato can go suck a lemon so tired of being everyone’s damn piggy bank
German president changes course, commits to spending 2% of GDP on defense, in response to Trump’s NATO comments.

The irony of the left wanting everyone HERE to pay “their fair share” but not the EU is not lost on me.
