I guess trump's meeting with the head of NATO went well today

Last edited Wed Apr 8, 2026, 08:57 PM - Edit history (1)

He posted in all caps what Aaron Rupar aptly labeled a "tantrum" after their meeting: "NATO WASN'T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON'T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN PIECE IF ICE!!! President DJT"

I guess he actually thinks that reminding anyone of Greenland and his insane fixation on it will help his case.
The loony tunes continue out of this WH.

you just proved that you don't have the fortitude to do anything to "take" Greenland. Even with overwhelming force you don't handle 2 weeks of high gas prices to fight Iran. You won't be able to handle the things that the EU could do economically or militarily either.

A Lambo can't win a race against a scooter if you don't know how to drive it.

How much of this do we have to put up with? His agenda is selfish and dystopian. No one wants to follow him. He doesn’t understand procedure. He doesn’t understand diplomacy. He is just destroying us with his mobster mentality.

I have a tendency to be sarcastic when referring to his many, many inexcusable statements and downright crazy demands. It's good to just hear it called out sometimes like you just did.

I think I felt it was important to put it out in straight terms. He is insane and/or illogical and we need to start responding to him in that manner.

It's a start, but they need to keep it up even if they are doomed to fail because they need to show they are relevant to the voters who will come out to vote for the midterms.

Don’t they know if the President wants something they are obligated to give it without question?

Has he or anyone in his administration bothered to read the treaty?

No, I haven't read the whole thing, but I have read that member nations promise to aid other member nations IF THEY ARE ATTACKED from outside..

NATO has exactly ZERO obligation to aid us in a war we have started. And I'm pretty sure the same would be true if we citizens were to begin an armed revolution. (which I certainly would not recommend. Just saying.)

That's the only way anybody in THIS mis-administration would ever read anything about NATO.
Hell, at least 70% of them can't even spell it!

Justice matters.
