BREAKING : Trump Declares NATO is “Obsolete”
Trump calls NATO out as the old, tired and obsolete nuisance that it is.
He believes more and more countries will also be leaving the European Union.
From The Washington Examiner:
President-elect Trump believes more countries are going to leave the European Union and thinks the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is now obsolete, he said in an interview with German newspaper Bild.
“It’s obsolete, first because it was designed many, many years ago,” Trump said of NATO, according to a write-up in Bloomberg. “Secondly, countries aren’t paying what they should,” and NATO “didn’t deal with terrorism.”
The comments will undoubtedly concern America’s allies in Europe after Trump has voiced support for strengthening the United States’ relationship with Russia after he comes into office. It may cause some discord inside his own administration, as retired Marine Gen. James Mattis said during his secretary of defense confirmation hearing this week that Russia’s goal is to destroy NATO.
According to the report, Trump portrayed the EU as a means for Germany to dominate Europe and he thinks the United Kingdom leaving the zone is a sign of things to come.
If you ask me, more countries will leave,” he said.
He added German Chancellor has hurt her country by letting “all these illegals,” presumably referring to migrants and refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, into Germany.
Trump also threatened German automaker BMW with his famous 35 percent tax if the company builds cars in Mexico and then sells them in the United States.

Nato is obsolete. It came about after the close of WWII to protect western europe from the commies. However,it was the USA that funded most of it for over 6 decades,built and maintained our bases over there,and all the military and civilian personnel that we employed. We also went further with the european economy,and helped rebuild war torn europe. And they hate us.That is what we got in return,especially from france. It’s time they fend for themselves,after all,we are the ugly Americans.So now you can go it alone,with your own military,on your dime,not ours anymore.
Everything he stated is “fact”. A person may not like what the truth is, but, it’s all factual information.
