Donald Trump stands by remarks about not defending NATO members after backlash
Donald Trump defends comments saying he “would encourage” Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies that don’t meet defense spending targets.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump again said Wednesday that if he returns to the White House, he would not defend NATO members that don’t meet defense spending targets, days after he set off alarms in Europe by suggesting he would tell Russia to attack NATO allies he considered delinquent.
Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina, he retold the story of his alleged conversation with the head of a NATO member country that had not met its obligations. This time, though, he left out the line that drew the most outrage — encouraging Russia “to do whatever the hell they want.”
“Look, if they’re not going to pay, we’re not going to protect. OK?” he said Wednesday.

Coincidence that a healthy-appearing Novalny was dead a day or two later?
Hidden translation transcripts of secret meeting with Trump? Trump looking beat up after his Helsinki meeting with Putin, who looked to be on top of the world?
Trump is a traitor for Russian & so are all the repug legislators who are now against helping Ukraine. They all deserve to be impeached as tools of Trump & Russia. These sniveling traitors just took 2 weeks off with no help to Ukrine.
