Our taxes should not go to subsidizing private companies like Raytheon and General Dynamics. If the Italians, Swedes and so forth want their products they need to pay for it. Trump is a champ for standing up to the establishment reach-around these companies have set up in order to funnel our taxes into their pockets. The "global security is our security" line is old and tired, and doesn't justify these private companies getting bloated contracts with nothing in return for the people who actually foot the bill.

ugh, we need better allies. They just want to rely on us and our spending power and military might.

Rand Paul agrees
The prime minister shouldn't have even been there to be shoved.

What pisses me off is they use the 'saved money' and give it to fucking refugees.

Makes no sense to have nations that are becoming borderline marxist in nato. Doesn't this defeat the point?

There are no better allies for the USA than the Europeans.

Politician stands in front of crowd of globalists, tells hard truths. Globalists squirm uncomfortably.

Trump is fucking awesome, I love the guy. It makes me proud to finally see a President who actually stands up for Americans for a change.
On a side note, he is making me realize that Ronald Reagan was a total cuck.

Another user once said:
"I am confident Trump will always do what's in his best interests. Fortunately, most of those interests benefit all of us."

I'm surprised Marcon was stunned, France is one of the few that makes the GDP commitment @2.3% hell for all the flack France gets they are like the 4th strongest military.

Oh I missed that one, but I guess that makes sense, I wonder his thoughts on Iceland, they spend much under 2% @.26% but got special dispossession when they signed, cause Iceland was largely ideal to base forces at, now with better range it's not as necessary.
