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.

Not sure why this is such a big deal. He came from the business world.  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.

It's not a big deal.  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.
