The worst part of that speech for me was when he said that NATO has never and would never answer the call for the US [View all]

Which as we all know is not only false (the only time Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 and 18 European countries came to our aid in Afghanistan) but the country who suffered the most in terms of human casualties is the very country he is targeting now, Denmark.

One of the most disgusting things about being a thinking American under Trump is the lies.
