bighairymike: This is an example of the left not understanding Trump's style....

Dope1: Were Trump a democrat he’d get that context added but since he isn’t…

Well, look at the cult defending the indefensible.

Why, it's all our fault, ya' say... we just don't understand Trump Talk. He's just a man of the people speakin' plainly to his audience of regular folks who understand his 'sarcasm'. "Grab 'em by the pussy" was just us misunderstanding locker room talk. Calling the war dead "losers" and "suckers" was what, just sarcasm? Yeah, that doesn't quite work, does it?

Well, first off, Trump doesn't understand NATO. There are no "bills", there is no debt, and nations don't "owe" anything to NATO. As mentioned upthread, they made a commitment in 2014 to work toward or achieve a two percent of GDP spending goal but it wasn't an iron-clad agreement that if not met would result in consequences.

Second, it would be just as easy to say that this was Trump's real intention: "Hey, Russia, if you're listening, if you help me again and I win the election in 2024, you can do whatever you want to do in Europe and I won't do anything to stop you."

And the BITEME institute rates your never ending support of the man who talks about windmills killing whales, said COVID-19 would magically disappear and did almost nothing while over one million Americans died from the disease, suggested that injecting disinfectant may be a way to beat the virus, constantly complains about water pressure, says he'll impose a 60 percent tariff on all goods imported from Chyna, repeatedly confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, doesn't know Friday from Saturday, suggests he would withdraw the United States from NATO, believes Vladimir Putin over our FBI, CIA, and State Department, was impeached twice, is under 91 felony indictment in four jurisdictions, raped a woman, leads an organization that committed fraud, is psychologically aberrant, and, oh, yeah... engaged in multiple efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election as PATHETIC.
