Very Scary Our Commander In Chief Doesn't know how NATO works

Trump embarrassed the USA today by incorrectly tweeting the following:

Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Nevertheless, Germany owes....vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!

A former NATO ambassador had to correct Trump:
/ Sorry, Mr. President, that’s not how NATO works. The US decides for itself how much it contributes to defending NATO.
9:24 AM - 18 Mar 20172/
This is not a financial transaction, where NATO countries pay the US to defend them. It is part of our treaty commitment.3/ All NATO countries, including Germany, have committed to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024. So far 5 of 28 NATO countries do.
4/ Those who currently don’t spend 2% of their GDP on defense are now increasing their defense budgets. That’s a good thing.
5/ But no funds will be paid to the US. They are meant to increase NATO’s overall defense capabilities, given the growing Russian threat.

Doesn’t Donald Trump have anyone close to him who can explain how the world works? He’s embarrassing the nation?

What's scary is Obama released terrorists from Gitmo and funneled money to their organizations.

Sorry you are scared that Trump's military advisers don't know how "NATO works"! I guess he should have nominated you, Luke Warm.

Aren't you the brain damaged, overweight, NonVet, who wraps himself in the flag as a defense to being called out for the lying, POS, dishonorable bullshitter who posts fake Reviews?

It's so scary, you shit yourself Cyst. Now put it between two slices of bread and eat it like Assup does.

Trump has surrounded himself with enough ex-military guys to know what is really going on.

So let me get this right stalker- you are now shifting blame to his military advisors who should know more than Trump how NATO works? This isn't the first time Trump has made this rhetoric- he's said it many times on the campaign trail.

Wanna see something "very scary"? NATO has 27 members, and 22 of them are free riders!

Did odumbo do anything about that?

Wanna bet the numbers will look a lot better by the end of Trump's first term?

I have served in the military and done operations with NATO allies- Trump was wrong. Trump acts as if the U.S pays all of NATO's expenses.

The U.S. outpaces all other nations in military expenditures. World military spending totaled more than $1.6 trillion in 2015. The U.S. accounted for 37 percent of the total.

U.S. military expenditures are roughly the size of the next seven largest military budgets around the world, combinedU.S. military spending dwarfs the budget of the #2 country – China. For every dollar China spends on its military, the U.S. spends $2.77.
