21. Trump scolds
Mr. Trump called on NATO, an
organization founded on collective
defense against the Soviet threat, to
include limiting immigration in its
tasks, as well as fighting terrorism
and deterring Russia.
NATO leaders wanted Mr. Trump to
publicly support the military alliance
he had called "obsolete”. This is not
fair to the people and taxpayers of
the United States, and many of these
nations owe massive amounts of
money from past years .

NATO’s bedrock
collective defense
clause and
committed to Article
5.

The reality is that NATO is
an expensive and needless
organization that is the
cause of much instability

must therefore be
disbanded.
