Trump falsely claims that NATO spending was declining until he came in. It rose in 2015 and 2016, before Trump took office, after NATO members recommitted in 2014 to their 2%-of-GDP guideline. Increases have been faster under Trump, but they were happening before. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, defending his spending, says "we had no choice; we had rebuild our military." (A minority of his deficits are related to military spending; tax cuts are biggest contributor.) He says, "You know, budgets are fine. I love budgets. We'll get to that, don't worry about it." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on how he gets NATO members to increase their military spending: "King! You gotta pay!" He claims that unnamed foreign leaders told him nobody has ever asked them to do this before. In fact, Obama and Bush both hectored allies to boost spending. — PolitiTweet.org
