Frustrated that our NATO allies refused to help his sneak attack on Iran, Trump told Reuters he is absolutely considering withdrawing the US from the NATO alliance.
“I’ll be discussing my disgust with NATO,” he said of the speech. Asked if he was thinking about pulling out of NATO, he said: “Oh, absolutely without question. Wouldn’t you do that if you were me?”If Trump actually tried to withdraw from NATO, he would face serious legal challenges because, under the Constitution, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was ratified by the Senate and requires Senate approval to withdraw. In 2023, Congress passed a law that a president cannot withdraw from NATO unless two-thirds of the Senate approves.
We know Trump hates the US Constitution and all its restrictions on executive power, so it will not surprise anyone if he ignores the law to indulge his petulance.
The NATO Alliance was formed in 1949 to thwart any aggression from Russia. It has been a staple of security for all the member nations since then.
NATO was not formed as an attack mechanism so that a member nation could unceremoniously and aggressively attack another country, and then demand aid and assistance from the members.
It has been successful up until today.
Trump is like a spoiled child who pitches a fit when his mommy refuses to give him candy at bedtime. It is a worldwide embarrassment.
Since Trump took office in 2016, he has been acting like Putin’s puppet and has continually attacked the greatest alliance in the history of the modern world.
