Your desperation in this thread to spin what Trump said to try to make him wrong is not convincing, but it is amusing.

Please tell me what I am spinning.

I’m quoting him.

As of December 2023, Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio is 263% which is the highest of any developed nation. This is due to the country's national debt, which is estimated to be around $9.2 trillion, or 263% of GDP, as of March 2023. This debt has remained above 100% of Japan's GDP for two decades.

Sorry to rain on your America hating parade

These countries are allowed to trade freely because of our military. Why shouldn't Kuwait pay us a fee if they benefit from our protection?

So you want to push them into further alliance with Iran and Russia.


Smart move.

It's also clear that Trump has had the same opinion for 40 years

I remarked in my first post that his rhetoric was the same even 40 years ago. My point is that makes his current arguments less effective particularly given context of what happened to each of the three countries in just a few years after these comments.
