NATO is outdated and needs to be renegotiated. It addresses Cold War concerns. The threat has changed, so the terms of our alliances need to change. I'm glad someone has the balls to say so.

But that does not mean they should not contribute monetarily in exchange for the "mutual" protection of each other in the event they are attacked within their borders or their borders are threatened by a non-NATO country.
That is Trump's beef ... and he is not alone at all.
Listen to Kaine's propaganda about his son. He is being "deployed" to Europe "to defend a NATO country against aggression" .... really?
The Obaminable Administration and his "heir apparent" (with Kaine by her side) should not be wrapping themselves in the military uniforms they have lied about and ignored for going on 15 years ... the Clinton and Obaminable administrations ... soon to be 16 years!
