Trump will do the right thing and pull us out of NATO

[lennypartiv]

And beyond something that can be done by Executive Order… at least in a Democracy

What do you think executive orders are for?

 

[Zincwarrior]

He should have done it in his first term, but better late than never. Trump can do a better job of picking allies than his predecessors. Money talks, as it should.

Good for who? Russia?

 

[Zincwarrior]

The last defense authorization bill prohibits a president to unilaterally withdraw from NATO. Guess Trump didn't get the memo

Trump doesn't do reading.

Some disagree.

Russobots disagree.

Trump will do a lot of horrible things if he is elected. What he will not do is make life better for the poorly educated whites he pretends to love.

Politicians reward those who donate to them. This should not be news to anybody.

Yet he is the single most successful person in the United States.
Weird.

Presidents issue executive orders all the time.

So? An EO can't override a law passed by Congress, and Congress can override a Presidential EO with a law. However, while no president can unilaterally withdraw from NATO, they can simply not come to their aid if they are attacked. Also, the only time NATO's article 5 provision was enacted it was to support the USA after 9-11, and they stood beside us for twenty years of our war on terrorist.

By what metric?

By what metric?

Any and every

What do you think executive orders are for?

Directing the Federal Government. What do you think they are for? Making laws? For example when Obama created an EO to close Gitmo, Congress overrode that EO through legislation and Gitmo is still open.

Another reason why Trump is unfit to be president.

Trump can withhold money. He can refuse to deploy troops. He can boycott NATO meetings. Trump will find a way.

Nah. The president lacks the unilateral authority to pull the United States out of treaties. With congress requiring in law a super majority of both houses to do it.

Which Trump will never have.

 

[lennypartiv]

Yes indeed, Trump will abandon NATO. He will make Americans happy by keeping that campaign promise.

Trump Will Abandon NATO

If reelected, he would end our commitment to the European alliance, reshaping the international order and hobbling American influence in the world.

Nope. President's lack the authority to unilaterally pull out of treaties. Additionally, Congress has already passed laws that require a super majority of both houses to leave NATO.

Which Trump will never have.
