During his lie-filled speech in Davos this morning to a thoroughly annoyed audience, Trump continued to undermine the NATO alliance by claiming they never did anything for the United States and always treated us badly, forgetting how NATO immediately came to our aid after the attack on 9/11.
TRUMP: I just say this.
NATO has treated the United States of America very unfairly. We never asked for anything.We never got anything.
We actually took care of the needs of NATO for years and years, which I felt was always unfair.
So I got NATO to pay because they’re rich countries.
But I think it’s time that NATO step up.
We’re helping them with Ukraine.
Without us, I think Putin would have gone all the way.
The day after the World Trade center was attacked NATO, invoked Article 5.
The day after 9/11, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) invoked Article 5 from its 1949 founding treaty, stating that an armed attack against one member was an attack against all.
NATO stepped up in a big way, but in Trump’s addled brain, that never happened.
