He didn't ask anything of other countries. Rather he hurled accusations; some partially true, others wholly inaccurate and unfounded. Always impolite.
All 100% accurate
And always in the interest of the USA
And always twisted by the criminally insane media

If people are liking us, I find that to be bad news...

NATO funding?
More could be spent that's true, 2 % seems reasonable, but it's not up to the POTUS to tell other countries how they should budget for defense. Especially when the primary goal of the US in establishing NATO following WWII was to make sure the members spent as little as possible on defense so that the US could and would retain overall command of the alliance' s structures and have unfettered military access to any member's territory should the need arise.
The alternative is that we all remain neutral and arm ourselves to the teeth.

More like, all 100% bullshit.
How does Canadian steel and aluminum production constitute a security threat to the USA? That is what Trump maintained when he slapped tariffs on our steel and aluminum exports to the US.
Look it up.

I know, I know. We get slammed for not signing on to things that nobody honors. NATO countries agreed many years ago to 2%, our President didn’t jam it down their throat.
Oh it seems like the USA contributes more than all the NATO countries combined, yet they only like us when we say things that please them.

Exactly my point. If you sign on, follow the regulations and rules. That was Trumps (impolite) point.
I really don't care if the nuance is that it wasn't fair. The point is that is what the agreement was. You can participate and contribute, or you can leave.
Rules is rules.

Ok, I'm for the alternative...We're already armed to the teeth...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Really??? Why is that? Do you think that the US is better off isolated and nationalist?
