LINK Trump Offers Revisionist History on His Support for Ukraine and NATO

Former President Donald Trump continues to push a revisionist history when it comes to how he approached Ukraine and NATO while in the White House.

Trump, who has repeatedly mischaracterized how NATO functions and is funded, in a new statement on Monday said, "I hope everyone is able to remember that it was me, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues, which amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars."

Both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush pressured NATO allies to increase spending — Trump was hardly the first. And since 2014, several years before Trump entered the White House, defense spending by NATO members has steadily increased.

If there is one thing Trump is good at, it’s flipping history, his previous statements and truth to whatever he thinks will make him look better. And his sociopath groupies eat it up.

Further, the costs (and benefits) of war are born by the NATO grounds on which it's fought. That won't be in America.
