Trump Says He Might 'Encourage' Russia To Attack NATO Allies
Source: Yahoo!news
Former President Donald Trump delivered an alarming message to U.S. allies during a Saturday rally where he outlined a scenario in which he would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want to other NATO members.
Speaking to a crowd in Conway, South Carolina, Trump told a story that cast himself as a tough-talking negotiator.
NATO was busted until I came along, he began. I said, Everybodys going to pay. They said, Well, if we dont pay are you still going to protect us? I said, Absolutely not. They couldnt believe the answer.
He rehashed the story a few moments later.

Just like they want to do.....(and they have wanted to denounce Trump for a long time.)......
The Republican Party will denounce Trump for this statement...Trump has gone too far..
Donald Trump thinks he can say ...."Anything"...and ..."Get Away With It"..........
Mark Sunday, June 11, 2024 down as the......" End of Donald Trump "...
Some leaders & members of the Republican Party will use this statement in the original post to denounce
Donald Trump and ruin him for good. .........ATTACKING NATO?...................................
How Stupid Can Anyone Be?...............Well this proves Trump is ........REALLY STUPID..!!!

(3,875 posts)... of the USA and remarks like that particular one only serve to weaken or cast doubt on US alliances and encourage our potential future adversaries to further attack Eastern Europe or to attack Taiwan. (Does Trump have a fee schedule drawn up for protecting Taiwan against China too?)
Fuck Trump. He is a national security risk (he has seemingly committed plentiful crimes in the sphere of national security, so he should be in prison cooling his heels and not be given the chance to further damage the US) and needs to be locked away so he cannot betray the US.

Why?

I'll tell you, if the Guardian hadn't put this out, which is where Yahoo probably got it, we'd never have known.

Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies: I said I would not protect our NATO allies. In fact, I would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want

Since this is based on one of Trump's reports of someone addressing him "Sir ...", there's every chance the exchange never happened, but the speech above certainly did.

(1,316 posts)No one would trust us. The dollar would dive like the ruble. No more bases overseas, Dumbshit Donnie, because those will get seized or destroyed the moment a war starts, because of uncertainty of who we'd support. No more overseas ports like Diego Garcia or Yokusaka, either.

Encouraging Russia to do What?......Attack NATO..?.......................
When this gets around to ...."Everywhere"...It is my opinion that this will destroy Donald Trump!!!
Why?..........The United States is in NATO..Those countries in NATO are our Allies and Closest Friends..
There are lots of people on the edge of supporting Donald Trump. Yes, they have been supporting him
for a very long time, but as people talk about .."Attacking NATO" many will drop their Trump support.
Who else is in NATO?......England, France, Germany, Italy, and so on.
