Trump goes nuclear on NATO gathering in Turkey

I was very disappointed with NATO and, frankly, if it weren't held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, it's possible that I wouldn't have attended. I felt I had to attend because it was a big thing to have NATO come to Turkey or anyplace else. It's a big thing. But we weren't treated well because we did something in Iran. And we don't need anybody's help. I didn't even want their help. But before I asked, they said they wouldn't be there. And we've invested trillions of dollars in NATO. Why? To protect European countries and others, Canada, et cetera, but to protect people, countries from, generally speaking, it used to be the Soviet Union. Now it's Russia. And I said, that's fine. But you would think that they'd be very willing to do something to help us. And they really weren't. In the case of the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister, I guess he's no longer there, maybe because of this. It was a very unpopular thing he did. He said, no, we'll help after the war is over. I said, I don't need that kind of help. We didn't need any help at all. And in the way I was testing people, I was testing to see whether or not they'd be there because I'd long said that we help them, but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us. And Italy turned this down. And Germany turned this down. And France turned this down. And it's OK. But, you know, why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they're not there for us? We've always been there for them.
