What is Trump saying here?

[unblock]

10. working from the lie that nato members pay nato 2% of their gdp,

(they don't, they commit to spending that amount for their own defense);

and from the observation that some nato members have smaller defense budgets than that;

he is trying to pretend that now nato members are spending more simply because donnie complained about it during the campaign and is now potus.

and he is trying to pretend that this wouldn't have happened had hillary been president.


you can see the elements of a con man at work here, but he's so pathetically bad at it.

he lies like a con man, but he's too obvious.
he claims credit for the sun coming up but he's too obvious.
he insists only he could do this but he's too obvious.

the most amazing thing about republicans liking him is that almost any other republican would be better *for the republican party* than him.

it's one thing for us as democrats to marvel at how much they like him despite what we see as horrible policies and statements.
it's another thing for us as democrats to marvel at how much they like him despite his obvious blunders.
