Trump at NATO Summit: Many of the Countries in This Room Are Telling Me ‘We Love You’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We have the money being spent on the best equipment anywhere in the world. In the working session this morning, we discussed the progress other members are making toward the 5 percent target, and they're making great progress. Many of these countries are very rich, by the way, we don't have to feel sorry for them. But it doesn't mean they're properly protected, there's a big difference. Some have truly answered the call and others are making big changes and will be answering the call. I think I can say in all cases they're going to be answering the call and will be will be taking in over a trillion dollars a year toward defense. And that's a tremendous amount of money. That's a big up. They were 2 percent. They were actually at 1 percent. I got them to 2 percent. Then I wanted to get them to 5. And we got up to 5 the last time. And they're -- you know, just again, if you could have seen the respect and the love in the room, and it's love really for the country, for our country. I don't want to say me, because you'll say, oh, he's so conceited. He's such a conceited person. But they do. I mean, you know, they they like the job I'm doing. They said, we love -- sir, we love you. These are grown people saying that. Isn't that nice?”
