President Donald Trump suggested in two new interviews that he’s considering withdrawing the US from NATO after repeatedly criticizing a lack of support from members for the Iran war.

Asked by the right-leaning British publication The Telegraph in an interview published Wednesday if he would reconsider the US’ membership of NATO after the war, Trump said: “Oh yes, I would say (it’s) beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin knows that too, by the way.”

The president doubled down in an interview with Reuters, saying he is “absolutely” considering trying to withdraw the US from NATO and previewed that he will be criticizing the military alliance during his primetime address to the nation Wednesday night.

“They haven’t been friends when we needed them,” Trump told Reuters. “We’ve never asked them for much … it’s a one-way street.”

Hey idiot, they stood with us after 9/11 many countries providing troops for our invasion of Afghanistan.

1. The US weapons industry would just love that. He can threaten, but he won't do it.

2. He can't

Only a 2/3rds majority in the Senate can take us out of NATO.

3. Given Trump's behavior

I would expect NATO to kick us out instead.

4. Maybe

That is what he is trying to get them to do?
