(11,882 posts)Remove him , and our country from not just NATO , but many other groups, and treat them for what he's become, a puppet for putin, and a enemy helping to destroy their Democracy in their countries now. He'll just try to take more and more until they demand he stop , or be removed from office. He won't stop attacking them. Putin won't let him. Every republican should be voted out of office for allowing this to happen, and continue.

(9,350 posts)I am not surprised that Trump likely lied about what was done at this NATO summit. However, I am upset at the way at least some in the media reacted to this statement. CBS This Morning took this at face value without reporting the specifics. As Major Garrett discussed this issue, I kept asking, but is he telling the truth. What are the details? What did NATO members actually agree to do?
That type of reporting needs to stop. Trump should not taken at face value. Also, until details can be announced, Trump's comments should not be reported, or they should be reported as only a Trump claim.
