Ben Shapiro blasted trump this morning on twitter claiming trump threatened to pull out of NATO

Turns out it is Fake news.

Multiple sources in the room reached by ABC News did not deny that the president made those comments but said that they were not taken as a threat to pull out of the alliance, but rather a characterization that America is alone in paying bulk of NATO’s expenditures.

“That is not what we understood or retained from the declarations of President Trump at the NATO summit. The heart of Trump’s message was positive,” a French source told ABC.

Another senior European NATO diplomat reiterated that the comments were not interpreted as an ultimatum.

"It was a very intense day. It was tough,” the diplomat told ABC. "It was extremely frank…he was very forceful.”

Jeez Ben

Trump is doing more to destroy NATO than Putin could ever hope to accomplish. Does this make you proud?

He corrected himself on his podcast. As he always does when something he tweets/reports turns out to be inaccurate.

Shapiro regularly praises trump when he does something good and calls him out when he does something he doesn’t agree with... which everyone should do.

He might have forgotten about it or gotten used to it considering Trump does it almost every single day

Ben Shapiro thinks replacing the white population with a brown population, that has shown to vote straight Democrat for the past 60 years, will have no impact on American society whatsoever. He's not exactly an intelligent person.

That’s what they want anyways, you’ll never get them to straight up admit it though.

Another Cruiser fail.

Mr Trump is right that Germany relies on Russia for most of its gas imports. Eurostat estimates that Russia is responsible for between 50% and 75% of Germany's gas imports.


That's from the BBC - a real Trump loving outfit.

Their natural gas demand is that high. While true it's a much lower percentage of their total energy demand, it's easy to see why those numbers were used when taken in context with the next words he spoke "a new pipeline."

He acts like an establishment politician when push comes to shove. He isn't someone who can be counted on, IMO

Toddy - I don’t agree with almost everything you post but not everything you post in here is entirely stupid. However, this is probably your most retarded post to date. I get you don’t like President Trump or agree with his policies, but there is no doubt that NATO is significantly stronger today because of Trump and his actions/rhetoric toward the entire group. Anyone that says otherwise is either stupid or openly biased with no ability to have rational thought.

He's a little bitch who wants Trump to fail and reluctantly gives him some credit when (once again) Ben is proven to be a little pussy. He's a sky screamer. Always bitching about something Trump does that is either successful or a nothingburger. Ben think's he's the smartest guy to ever walk the earth and can't stand being consistently wrong.

Also, he'd blow up the US if Israel wanted.

Facts? What facts? Are you basing this off of what Trump said ? Because the NATO communique released today does nothing to support this claim, only the commitment to raise to 2% GDP by 2024 which is what was already agreed upon.
