Trump Says He’ll Tell US Allies We Won’t Defend Them if They Don’t Pay Up
Just the fact that Donald Trump thinks it’s appropriate to appear on the radio show of “Michael Savage” (real name: Michael Wiener), a guy infamous for absolutely insane over the top rants, conspiracy theories and overt racism and homophobia, well — that’s bad enough. But then you get to what Trump actually said in his interview with “Savage” yesterday, and that’s the truly disturbing part:On His First Day In Office, President Trump Will Tell Allies That He Won’t Defend Them If They Don’t Pay Up.
Trump said that these allied countries will “have to pay” much more for protection, adding, “What, are we supposed to get into World War III over a country that doesn’t respect us enough to pay what they’re supposed to be paying?”
Trump also said that as president he will immediately act to undo President Obama’s executive actions on immigration reform and build the Keystone XL pipeline, with a hefty new tax on the corporations that benefit from it.
