Trump shares the message he receives from NATO leader Mark Rutte

The utterly simplistic language of it all. 🙄🙄🙄

Anyone else remember when libs were fearmongering that Trump will leave NATO and leftists said "don't threaten me with a good time"?

This can't be real

World leaders have figured out he's functionally a toddler. Starmer and Trudeau took the same approach.

Does Trump not realize that this message makes himself look bad?

This is so poorly written I have no idea if it's sarcasm or not.

My sense at this point is that grotesque flattery works on Trump, but only to a point. Trump doesn't really like anyone, the best you can do is a slightly-better-than-neutral relationship. (And at the other end he's willing to coexist with anyone who hasn't personally slighted him, like Kim Jong Un)

Communication is most effective in the language of receiver. Rutte emulates Trump like ChatGPT.

Translation: "Thanks to your stupid politics, you managed to pull EU closer and finally decide on things for Greater good."

This make me feels somewhat awkward.

obviously, I doubt Rutte was expecting this message to be shared. If he wasn't a complete moron and actually doing this just to stroke his own ego, I'd actually give Donald props for leaking it, as Rutte kissing Donald's ass makes him look terrible, and more broadly makes the European parts of NATO look terrible.

I imagine Rutte's intent is to stroke Trump's ego to try and keep him interested in NATO, but I feel like that's a fool's errand. Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone else but himself. This new agreement, with NATO signatories needing to commit 5% of their GDP, feels like a grift for the benefit of U.S. defense contractors. The U.S. cannot be trusted to actually honor their agreements anymore, so why pay more into their alliance? Is Europe really that scared of further Russian aggression?

By the way Rutte changed the wording in the agreement to be more vague as to what 'allies' means because Spain refused to agree to 5%.

I’ve have said this before but WW3 will start because of a meme or ChatGPT.

Well ... it's good to see there aren't just idiots in the US

Too many MAGA assholes and bootlickers out there, good for Canada and Spain to show them the middle finger

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says he has 'no problem' with US President sharing private message

Well i just found out some of these NATO leaders were Nazis so NATO might just be a white supremacist group technically.

“How are you traveling to His Majesty’s dinner? Mind if I get a ride swingin from your nuts?”

🤮

Oh my God I can just text the president while pretending to be anyone and shape world politics

Emperor rutte has spoken. Well deputy emperor to trump, rutte, has spoken. NATO members all agree to destroy their societies in order to boost military spending by 150%. Traitors in member parliaments will need to be executed if they object to the empire.

At least Europes war on Russia will be worth it. Every 100 years, no one left alive to remember last failure.

Good move TBH. Just like that, Trump likes NATO again.

Bootlicker.
