Kay Bailey Hutchinsons face while Trump goes off-the-rails, reminds me of the lyrics of that country song: You mean I shaved my legs for this?
John Kelly, he just looks like the fidgety kid in school whod rather be anywhere else but there.

(24,412 posts)It was primarily rhetorical. Just, my head explodes when I keep thinking about how Republican heads would be exploding like a sledgehammer to a watermelon if Obama or Hillary had done a microfraction of what Trump has done. I should be used to it by now but I'm not. I refuse to become used to it.

(11,257 posts)as I understand it, countries in NATO agree to spend X% of their GDP on their military. What Trump is complaining about here is that Germany, etc., may not be spending enough on their military, but of course the US spends way more than that.
so, the total amount of $ spent by NATO countries is still probably more than is what is mandated (because of the massive US military budget), which is why other NATO countries probably feel like they can spend less.
The obvious solution to this "problem" is for the US to spend way way less on its military. It's a win-win! It would force our allies to consider spending more, and it would give us enough money to possibly take care of people. For fuck's sake.

(82,849 posts)In the "never apologize, never explain" genre of bad business school books from the 1970s, Trump absorbed approximately one thing: Every deal must have a winner and a loser. There's no such thing as a mutually beneficial agreement, and if Trump is in an agreement where the other side is deriving some benefit, it must be a bad deal for him to be involved in. So the deal has to be blown up and renegotiated in his favor, and his favor alone.
Relative peace in Europe for the last 70 years is seen as no personal benefit to Trump (yes, there have been battles and wars in Europe since World War II ended, but none of them spread into continent-wide conflagrations as they used to do with depressing regularity). So NATO must be dismantled and recrafted on far more favorable terms. If Europe gets destabilized, so much the better, because Trump thinks it will get them back to the bargaining table that much faster and more eager to deal on his terms. On first meeting Angela Merkel, Trump reportedly told her that Germany owed him $1 trillion. Note that he wasn't talking about the United States, but him personally. But it was just a joke. Of course. From a man who never laughs.
The next time Trump goes off the rails, I'd give a dollar to the person who interrupts him and says, "Clearly you don't know what you're talking about."
