White Home spokesperson Andrew Bates responded to Trump’s risk, “President Biden has restored our alliances and made us stronger on this planet as a result of he is aware of each commander in chief’s first accountability is to maintain the American individuals secure and maintain true to the values that unite us. Because of President Biden’s skilled management, NATO is now the most important and most important it has ever been. Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American nationwide safety, international stability, and our economic system at residence. Moderately than calling for wars and selling deranged chaos, President Biden will proceed to bolster American management and rise up *for* our nationwide safety pursuits – not in opposition to them.”
The media tends to disregard Trump as a risk to international safety, however what Trump stated in South Carolina matches up along with his view of NATO. Trump has gotten extra excessive since leaving workplace in that he’s now threatening to let Russia invade a NATO ally and he’ll do nothing.
Trump’s feedback should be music to Putin’s ears, as a result of if the previous president returns to the White Home meaning there shall be nobody trying to maintain the NATO alliance robust in the USA. Putin and different authoritarians might run wild and Trump would permit it to occur.
As an alternative of obsessing about Biden’s age, the media ought to be discussing Trump’s risk to destroy NATO.
