In first place he's not asking money from EU but for the NATO countries to spent in the military what was agreed which only a few countries do (U.K. ), so I don't want my tax money to go there so you guys can have free college and I have to pay here, (wouldn't change anyway, only if they pay the state colleges and the private ones will have to come from our pocket)

Are you drunk? Your statement doesn't even make sense.
The potential increase (0,3% by the way) in defense budget wouldn't make any real difference, neither for the US nor our education spending. You don't pay for our education system you moron, it's just that your batshit gouvernment has decided to overspend on your military for the past 6 decades. The actual US investment in Europe is a fracture of your overall military spending. We are not responsible for that and neither are we for your expensive wars in the Middle East. It's just another "alternative fact" presented by Trump to his voters who lack the intelligence to understand such matters.

What a stupid statement, have you really fallen for such shit? Inform yourself. Even Wikipedia would be enough to be honest.

Not that you are wrong but none of that is a reason for European nations to not meet their agreed to defense spending levels.
 


GOP had backed away from this kind of thing before because it was too obviously crooked.
 
That clip looks weirdly like it's being rewound.

Which were agreed upon in late 2014, a time when both the 2015 and 2016 state budgets for most members where already finalized. We have seen increases in most countries since then, this is not something you can just make happen overnight and it was not meant as such. But as usual, Trump feckwits don't care about facts or reality. (not meant towards you)
 
I bought RE 7/Biohazard on Steam that has a release date of 24th Jan 2017. I expected it to be released at 12 am tonight but because they are pandering to the American audience, It's won't be released until 5 am UK time. feck you America. I'm glad you got Trumped. Based on this alone, you deserve him.
 
This reminds me of that House of Cards season where Claire and Frank aren't exactly getting along.

Almost overnight the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was in full flower, and Captain Black was enraptured to discover himself spearheading it. He had really hit on something. All the enlisted men and officers on combat duty had to sign a loyalty oath to get their map cases from the intelligence tent, a second loyalty oath to receive their flak suits and parachutes from the parachute tent, a third loyalty oath for Lieutenant Balkington, the motor vehicle officer, to be allowed to ride from the squadron to the airfield in one of the trucks. Every time they turned around there was another loyalty oath to be signed. They signed a loyalty oath to get their pay from the finance officer, to obtain their PX supplies, to have their hair cut by the Italian barbers. To Captain Black, every officer who supported his Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was a competitor, and he planned and plotted twenty-four hours a day to keep one step ahead. He would stand second to none in his devotion to country. When other officers had followed his urging and introduced loyalty oaths of their own, he went them one better by making every son of a bitch who came to his intelligence tent sign two loyalty oaths, then three, then four; then he introduced the pledge of allegiance, and after that “The Star-Spangled Banner,” one chorus, two choruses, three choruses, four choruses. Each time Captain Black forged ahead of his competitors, he swung upon them scornfully for their failure to follow his example. Each time they followed his example, he retreated with concern and racked his brain for some new stratagem that would enable him to turn upon them scornfully again...

The more loyalty oaths a person signed, the more loyal he was; to Captain Black it was as simple as that, and he had Corporal Kolodny sign hundreds with his name each day so that he could always prove he was more loyal than anyone else.

“The important thing is to keep them pledging,” he explained to his cohorts. “It doesn’t matter whether they mean it or not. That’s why they make little kids pledge allegiance even before they know what ‘pledge’ and ‘allegiance’ means.”

You let DOUGAL do a FUNERAL?!? He's actually declared the day of his inauguration a national day of patriotism?!? Jesus...
 
The Trumps would make a good Arrested Development style sitcom if it wasn't all so sinister.

Donald: It's okay, Eric. Hilary can't run against me. Kellyanne told me a husband and wife can't run for the same job.

Eric: Yeah, I don't think that's true, dad.

Donald: Really? I have the worst fecking advisors.

A nice extract
But is Trump a nationalist rather than an isolationist? The attempt to spread liberal democracy, he has stated, will end under him. But, at the same time, he has repeatedly declared that he will expand the defence budget. There is no reason to do so for the sake of deterrence: America’s military might vastly surpasses those of every other country on earth. Let’s take just one example: the US has 19 aircraft carriers, while Russia and China have one each. So, the only reason for ramping up this already massive force would be to project American power, through wars if necessary, for America’s self-interest.

To do so, the US will have to maintain alliances; support friendly states and have bases abroad. But Trump has also castigated spending, including that related to the military aid, abroad, claiming “We have spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas….”

The US spends $18bn on foreign aid – which is less than one per cent of the national budget. Around $6bn (£4.8bn) a year goes to military aid and around $10bn (£8bn) on maintaining bases abroad, – hardly a particularly significant proportion of an annual defence budget of nearly $600bn (£480bn).

“The United States will no longer subsidise the armies of other countries while allowing the sad depletion of our military”, said Trump. Most of the $6bn (£4.8bn) military aid goes to Israel and Egypt. Trump has spoke of his fervent support for Israel, saying he would move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; backing settlements in occupied territories and saying he will dismantle the nuclear deal with Iran which Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has lobbied against vociferously. General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was one of the first leaders Trump spoke to on the phone after his elections victory and he has been fulsome in praise of Egypt’s leader ever since, pledging to stand-by him and speaking their mutual “personal chemistry”.

Is the new President really going to undermine Israel and Egypt by cutting aid – especially as that aid comes with a stipulation that money must be to spend on American military products, thus providing jobs in American factories?

The $10bn spent on bases are mainly in Germany, South Korea and Japan, seen as necessary to keep a check on two adversaries, Russia and China and the ‘‘rogue state” of North Korea. Even if Trump’s admiration for Vladimir Putin leads to him actually weaken the commitment to Nato, how will his desire to confront China, busy building military bases in disputed islands, and North Korea be squared with withdrawing troops from Japan and South Korea?

Trumps remarks to the CIA were really quite something - even for him. Fecking hell:

Trump’s unscripted remarks were, instead, largely about himself, even as he praised Mike Pompeo—a West Point and Harvard Law School graduate, Kansas congressman, and Tea Party supporter—as his choice to lead the C.I.A.


“No. 1 in his class at West Point,” Trump said. “Now, I know a lot about West Point. I’m a person that very strongly believes in academics. In fact, every time I say I had an uncle who was a great professor at M.I.T. for thirty-five years, who did a fantastic job in so many different ways, academically—was an academic genius—and then they say, Is Donald Trump an intellectual? Trust me, I’m like a smart persona.”

Apparently as proof, the President noted that he had set an “all-time record” in Time magazine cover stories. “Like, if Tom Brady is on the cover, it’s one time, because he won the Super Bowl or something, right?” he told the intelligence officials. “I’ve been on it for fifteen times this year. I don’t think that’s a record that can ever be broken.” Time told Politico’s Playbook that it had published eleven Trump covers—and had done fifty-five cover stories about Richard Nixon.

How on earth can he use his uncle as an example of how smart he (Trump) is? Desperate or what?
