  1. Manage America manage democratic world.

  2. Only idiots don't understand what he said. Or pretend not to understand. Go ahead Trump

  3. Funny complaining about countries not paying theire share when he went bankrupt to get out paying debts. He killed so many businesses when he never paid for the work on the casinos . He has a lifetime of not paying his share . Now he used his dumb maga supporters to help his legally bill.

  4. I know we're not the Dumbest Country but we're near the Top! 😐

  5. Why is trump backing a communist country ,sorta go's against what the repubs preach .Russia is a communist country ,to the repubs who don't know this .

  6. Why is Germany 🇩🇪 in NATO they started world war 2 Russia 🇷🇺 should be in NATO not Germany

  7. People think this is funny? We are leading with crazy men and American justice is looking to the side, one day they may regret it.

  8. Don't pay your bills, but demand others they pay theirs.

  9. Thé Supreme Court must put a stop to trump and his crony lawyers, making a mockery of the judges and court system.He is only stalling again using the courts as a political toy to try to stay out of prison.He has committed treason , frauds etc and continues to spout bull and lies.

  10. Just bla bla !
    Wars everywhere under bideu 😂😂😂the White House is nurse home…

  11. Omg does this man put his brain in gear before opening his mouth

  12. Hes right tho. As a canadian, i knew reliance on the yankee military was a mistake 30 years ago….as a child. These politician are a little slow

  13. Nato should pay Their Fair share!! Black Americans Biden stopped Payments going to Africa feeding Them Bread because They said no to Men Sleeping Men!!

  14. Will I vote for Trump after what he said abt nato? YES

  15. What a HYPOCRITE,Trump NEVER pays.

  16. It was agreed that each NATO country would spend 2% GDP on defence. It is extremely unfair when some countries don't abide by this aggreement like Germany that only spend 1,2% GDP. When somone points this out, although maybe somewhat clumsy as Trump did, everyone seems surprised. 😳

  17. lol!!! Are you guys for real???
    His actions was so obvious from beginning after he took office!!!
    Do I have to remind you about private meetings with Putin in Germany, using Putin translator and you just find out about that after was all over the Russia media stream!!!
    What your federal government done to stop this?
    Anyone from republicans or democrats condemn this?
    And you know why???
    Because they believed Putin, Russia KGB who was stupid enough to give land in lease for china and after they saw how china is settled on land they decided to fool America and engage with them again china.
    China wealth is economy as American!!!
    As senator McCain said Russia just big gas pomp and it’s true, has value as of now but if you take under consideration that nothing stays the same so nothing will be valuable the same…
    That was trump economy war against china, just curious how American farmers are doing now after they lost big market for the soy beans and other products to china! Do I have to give you business trade lesson: ok :
    Do you know how hard to find market for your product and it’s insane stupidity to lose such market to china as anyone understands one loose someone gain, who gain from what Americans farmers lost??? Did trump payed from own pockets incentive?
    Is he good for America, absolutely not!!!
    He is good for himself only!!!
    Despite being so pro Putin trump still didn’t risk own money to have business in Russia?
    Why? What you think???
    Why being pro Putin because he has mental issues to believe that kgb agent care about money more than his ideology!!!
    Trump Putin and Nathan are three evil man with own direction based on capabilities of their potential!!!
    You have growing another danger!!! Tesla boy!!!
    Western society made him who he is now and he is siding himself with Putin who is leading eastern society. Eastern society can’t afford what western society because they have destroyed all people who can become successful entrepreneurs due to threats to them, stupid ones!!! Didn’t America homed brilliant minds from around the world and Putin manipulated minds of American entrepreneurs wha used American system to grow now they became idiots who is popping in own plate!!!!

  18. Honestly how can anybody in there right minds vote for this dude are you all nuts fell of the wagon and landed on your heads

  19. Even if democrats win in 2024. Europe can't gamble every 4 years head or tail its security anylonger. USA is in a self-destruction spirale. Russia is in a destruction spirale. Europe lighted the world 2000 years. We thank America for everything they did for us these last 100 years. If America is not interested anymore, vaya con dios. America is free to close the bracket. I hope they won't.

  20. Trump absolutely has to be the worst president ever and as a person just as my dad would of said when he was alive if trump,becomes president I am leaving the country he is a pitifull person and politician and mostly he is stupid seriously he is just stupid

  21. Putin the best world leader of all time!

  22. The best thing is to scrap NATO

  23. If this is his policy why doesn’t he pay his bills?

  24. Might as well have been Putin talking…

  25. If you go back in history, many Americans came from old Europe to the United States. You may have a family member that goes way back to Europe. America and Europe have a common background culture, religion and history. You have to help old friends in need. They will do the same for you.

  26. Trump belongs on ice pending trial.
