It is a GOOD thing Europe is "rattled" about Trump. American taxpayers have been paying the bill for Europe's military protection for decades. Europe wouldn't be able to afford all their fat social giveaways to European citizens if Europe's governments were taxing their own citizens to cover their social welfare programs.

Time to cut Europe loose to pay their own military protection. Time for our tax dollars to be spent here at home on our citizens who need social programs, jobs to build and repair our infrastructure. Let European leaders be "rattled". Russia ain't gonna invade us!



“The volume of the US defense expenditure effectively represents 73 per cent of the defense spending of the Alliance as a whole,” NATO says in a discussion of indirect funding
. “This does not mean that the United States covers 73 per cent of the costs involved in the operational running of NATO as an organization, including its headquarters in Brussels and its subordinate military commands, but it does mean that there is an over-reliance by the Alliance as a whole on the United States for the provision of essential capabilities, including for instance, in regard to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; air-to-air refueling; ballistic missile defense; and airborne electronic warfare.”

NATO documents show that a majority of NATO members fail to meet NATO’s guideline, established in 2006, that defense expenditures should amount to 2 percent of each country’s gross domestic product. The median spending in 2015 is just 1.18 percent of GDP, compared to 3.7 percent for the United States, NATO says. Just four [of the 28 NATO countries]currently exceed the 2 percent guideline.

Trump will stop this unfairness if elected.

The US is a world leader now. Our currency is used by the world. Our military protects us and our allies. We dominate. Trump threatens to destroy this.

You are seeing the very best Trump has to offer now. He's not going to be better once he gets elected. This is the very best you are seeing now. Just like Obama -- you saw the best Obama before he got elected. You are seeing the very best Trump now.

I've been saying it for years.
Obama is ALL about Obama and that is now going to bite the Leftists in the posterior.

Obama helps Clinton. This poll speaks to the delusion of this site.

You don't "get it", the pundits and Political Elite don't "get it".
This won't "hurt Trump" ...... those Foreign Leaders don't get a vote, the American People get to vote.
The FED-UP crowd (aka We the People) want America First, not what the Globalists want.

It's exactly why Trump is winning and the information that Globalists and Foreign Interests are "worried" that THEY won't continue to be FIRST, just helps the Trump Campaign.
