The far left democrats like Mikesez like to pull quotes and take them out of context. Trump wasn't a master of speaking by any means, but he always told the truth.

Please expand the quote and give us more context. It would be illogical not to.

He said "owe" twice and he called them delinquents. The Marshall Plan was not a loan, and NATO isn't a promise for anyone to pay any money to anyone else either. So what did Trump mean?

A reminder that those leeches owe us their very exitance, so get off their [BLEEP] and do some of this hard work of maintaining order.

That's because he pulls his information from people who make their living with wordy nonsense.

You can't admit defeat on the topic, so you go for the personal attack. Predictable.

You believe Trump didn't demand payment from NATO allies to the United States. That's a falsehood, which I have shown, right from the horse's mouth, and you choose to ignore this evidence because it's devastating to your case. Then you can go on living in a world where everything you believe is right and anyone who disagrees is wrong. Easier that way.

No, I'm saying that your argument focuses on your one single interpretation of the word "owe" and you exclude the possibility that a person uses the word to mean something else. In this case, to you, the word "owe" only means "money they should pay us back" whereas what they actually "owe" us is a bit of loyalty and cooperation in serving their interests into the future. But you're so impressed by what you think is the point that you can't help but only see it your way. This isn't a new problem with you, I've been telling you this for years and you just write out another 1,000 essay on why you're right instead of just accepting that you're being foolish. It's why I quit trying to reason with you, because you are patently unreasonable the vast majority of the time. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

But Trump didn't say loyalty was owed. He did not say gratitude was owed. Trump specifically said that a tremendous amount of money was owed, from them to us.

I would expect that sort of rhetoric. And whats wrong with applying some sound business principles to government? There wouldnt be such a huge tax burden if they were run more like a business.

We have oodles of professional diplomats who all explained that we just wanted the European countries to buy more equipment and train more soldiers for their own militaries. I just thought it was funny how Trump looked particularly uninformed and out of touch in this instance, and instead of sharing a laugh with me, three or four posters went and jumped on my throat.
