American Values
Trump Was Right
For decades, European nations have spent their resources on socialist programs knowing Uncle Sam would make up for their inadequate defense spending. When he came into office, Donald Trump immediately confronted our NATO "allies" for failing to meet their basic defense obligations.
All the while, Trump was attacked here in the U.S. for alienating our friends and blowing up our alliances. As usual, the Swamp's "conventional wisdom" was totally wrong. Trump was trying to strengthen NATO by getting our allies to step up and pay their fair share!
Trump's "tough love" worked in the short term, but four years is not enough time to reverse decades of neglect.
Many European leaders were thrilled when Joe Biden occupied the Oval Office, but now Biden is finding out just how hollow and useless NATO is becoming. Even Sen. Ben Sasse, one of Trump's more vocal GOP critics, had to concede yesterday that Germany has effectively left NATO.
