Brussels (CNN) President Donald Trump came out brawling in his first public comments here ahead of NATO's annual summit, accusing a close US ally of being "a captive of Russia," calling members of the alliance "delinquent" in their defense spending and insisting they increase it "immediately."
Trump's provocative comments -- particularly those aimed at Germany -- at the outset of the NATO summit are sure to amplify the sense of unease among the United States' closest European allies. Their concerns had already set in ahead of Trump's arrival on the continent, following weeks during which the US President has increasingly and vociferously aired out his grievances against many of them.

So, this dimwit bulb, which was rated at 25 watts, went down to a 10 watt bulb, and may be 7 watts by the end of today. Trump is so stupid to say those words. He could have said so many other words, but those are stupid beyond stupid. Many sources (sorry no links) say Russians have invested in Trump's properties when Trump could not get funding in the USA. Many imply that Trump is held captive by Russia. Why would the idiot even use words like that?...By saying that, Trump focuses back on himself in a very ugly light...but..
............it is a very low level light...10 watts is not a whole lot...(soon to be 7 watts)

Those Russians are geniuses with some of their dog leashes, yknow. Theyve invented one that the wearer doesnt even feel! Not even when its securely strapped around his neck and the attached harness binds him tightly at the shoulders and around underneath the armpits. Even then, the wearer doesnt notice hes got it on!
