Trump on NATO

Trump signals his response to Iran's attacks won't be a military one, instead saying he'll impose more sanctions & ask NATO to get more involved in the Middle East, without elaborating. He says the U.S. has powerful military equipment, but it doesn't have to use it.

Trump has been dissing NATO and screwing with them for 3 years, and now all of a sudden we're good buds again?

Typical bully behavior. He never thinks that anybody will stand up to him and he thinks he can abuse people and they will still love him.
I don't think the people of Stockholm will descend into Stockholm Syndrome vis-a-vis Trump.

He went from NATO members weren't paying their fair share. Too we should pull out of it. Which Congress took his talk of get out of NATO so seriously. They introduced a bill that would force him to seek congressional approval to leave the organization.
