Trump does not understand apples to apples comparisons

[centerleftFL]

Pres. Trump pushes his own brand of global politics at NATO While this fourth grade Trump is sitting down with European leaders at the NATO summit, he continues to show his grade school ignorance about foreign policy, along with the fact that he has no understanding of basic math, GDP, or geographical differences. He is oblivious to the fact, that our economy is five times larger than Germany. Geographically as well, Germany is much smaller than the U.S. So why would Germany pay an amount comparable to the U.S.? Germany is not going to pay over $700 billion dollars for national defense as we do. Trump is embarrassing himself and our country by not understanding apples for apples. He uses fourth grade logic, and his supporters will eat it up at the end of the day, looking more fourth grade than he is. What a disaster Trump has been.

Trump doesn't fucking know the difference between apples and air conditioners.

Here ..... for those who don't get it.... this is video taken at the NATO summit, previously unreleased..... this is where President Trump asks two State Department officials to help NATO find it's check book...

It's the GDP that needs to be looked at,

Thank goodness.
Now don't you feel stupid for lying about what Trump said?

I feel good about what he didn't say, and what he did say. He has no intelligent rationale for his comparisons, and he was too chicken shit to bring up those arguing points that would have destroyed the one's he did bring up. Trump is a coward. He only reveals the convenient parts to make him look good, while leaving out the other just as important relevant one's. Like I said before. This is all smoke and mirrors, designed to be a distraction. Trump needs to get to Putin to talk about their half a trillion dollar oil deal in the North Kara sea, while everyone focuses on Trump's outrageous comments at NATO. Trump fools his Sheep base, but he can forget trying to fool me.

He fooled you into thinking he said Germany needs to spend $700 billion.

Negative! You are creating a false summation based on your quest for a convenient way out. A total retard would think Germany should pay the same. You are ignoring the key factors for this argument. Germany, like others, are on target to pay their fare share. Therefore, Trump has nothing to complain about. Like I said, for the second time now, this is all a smokescreen to get everyone focused on a NATO summit he could give two shits about .Trump needs to get to Putin. That's all Trump cares about. Trump wants his cut in the oil deal no one from the Right wants to talk about. He'splaying everyone, including you.

A total retard would think Germany should pay the same.

And you're the only one claiming anyone thinks that. Is it because you're a retard?

Germany, like others, are on target to pay their fare share.

What's the final target? What are they paying now?

No where near 2 percent. Their military is a shambles and their air force is a joke.

Silly Trump. Germany spends more than enough...…..

GERMANY'S military is so underfunded its troops used BROOMSTICKS painted black as mock weapons during a Nato defence exercise.

But the highly embarrassing episode, revealed in a leaked report, is just the beginning of the country's woes as it fights to reverse chronic army shortages.

Germany’s soldiers forced to use BROOMSTICK for a gun as Donald Trump blasts Angela Merkel over NATO spending

See...what you fail to understand is this..... I am 51 years old, and I have never experienced a land war on the european continent so obviously, they don't need a military.....just like anti gunners tell us that because they have never been robbed, raped or murdered, no one else needs a gun for self defense.....

 

[skookerasbil]

Just goes to show....dont have to understand stuff to be winning.

Who knows if President Trump understood the nuts and bolts of his court appointee last week, Brett Kavanaugh. But a whole lot of folks felt like they were not winning. Let's face it....its all about who's winning and well, who's not!So clearly, this whole business of understanding is overrated!

Trump knows that the Europeans buy from Russia which enriches Russia and it’s ability to be militarily aggressive while at the same time expecting us to foot the bill defending them from Russia’s aggression. So he knows a great deal more than you morons know!

Let’s see how tough Crooked Donnie is with Putin

 

[Aba Incieni]

The reason Germany...and all NATO nations...should pay is because they agreed to.

And 2% is just the minimum.

The agreement was made in 2014. In the mean time, Trump, while having nothing to do with that agreement, jumps in there to be the bully in the room for a different reason. He creates this false sideshow, when in reality his biggest interest is with Putin. People seem to forget, that a year and a half ago, some of Trump's butt boys like Eric Prince met in the Seychelles Islands about an oil deal with Russia. The Kara sea holds a half a trillion dollars worth of oil, and Trump wants his cut. This is why Trump has been cozy with Putin now and before. This presidency is nothing more than a planned heist. That is all it has ever been. When this meeting is over, Trump will call for the lifting of sanctions. He has to. It's the only way Exxon can get their rigs up there to the north Kara sea to start drilling and hauling from that big oil find. NATO is nothing but a sideshow for Trump.
