re: #65 Dr Lizardo

Without digging too much into it, as I have to work today, I think Trump may be getting his idea that NATO countries are obligated to spend 2% of GDP on national defense is him confusing that particular NATO goal with the actual treaty obligation of EU member states to run no more than an deficit of 3% (ideally, less).

He got that mixed up, I’m thinking. And they certainly don’t pay the USA that money; it goes into the NATO pot. Revealing once again that Trump suffers from profound delusions of competence.

I’m sure that Trump thinks they have to pay that money to him. He’ll make sure it goes to the right place.
