Trump the Magnificent tells Saudis they're not paying enough for defense

Moar winning for you baws on Friday morning.
To lefties: If you guys would just stop with your temper tantrums and ENDLESS whining and let the man concentrate on doing the country's work we could actually get other people to do what the hell they're supposed to do instead of getting a free ride off of the US taxpayer.
Look at it this way, the more money people give us the more free shite y'all will probably end up with because our Congress has no nuts.
quote:
President Donald Trump complained on Thursday that U.S. ally Saudi Arabia was not treating the United States fairly and Washington was losing a “tremendous amount of money” defending the kingdom.
quote:
In an interview with Reuters, Trump confirmed his administration was in talks about possible visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel in the second half of May. He is due to make his first trip abroad as president for a May 25 NATO summit in Brussels and could add other stops.
quote:
Frankly, Saudi Arabia has not treated us fairly, because we are losing a tremendous amount of money in defending Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Trump’s criticism of Riyadh was a return to his 2016 election campaign rhetoric when he accused the kingdom of not pulling its weight in paying for the U.S. security umbrella.
quote:
Nobody’s going to mess with Saudi Arabia because we’re watching them," Trump told a campaign rally in Wisconsin a year ago. “They’re not paying us a fair price. We’re losing our shirt.”

I know you would have preferred Hillary the warhawk but honestly, don't you think it's refreshing to hear a President tell countries like SA and Germany that they are not pulling their weight for their own damn defense?

I'd be down with that
Our relationship with SA is an abusive one, and we are the battered spouse.

Some people are morons are they not?

You misspelled whining.
So what if he complained. Hasn't changed a thing. But I guess you consider your participation trophy winning

SA is paying a shitload for defense; for terrorist organizations that is.

Between Hillary and Trump, the only two that could have won, you preferred Trump?
Answer the original question if you would, please.

Same question.
I know you would have preferred Hillary the warhawk but isn't it refreshing to have a President tell SA, Germany and others that they aren't carrying enough weight?

I'm not "refreshed" by his bluster. I'll save my kudos for actual results.

That is the best case scenario.

I get that results are all that matter but after 8 years of our President apologizing for America it's a nice change, right?

I'm sure you appreciate the gesture, though.

I didn't vote for either....

How about the original question? Better to tell SA to do better or apologize for America?
Hillary or Trump? Who do you choose if you had only those two to pick from?
