If you and sockpuppet Mike Pence really don't like that NATO countries don't spend as much on their defense budgets than USA USA USA, you have the alternative of pulling out.
Yes, you'll get flamed even more than you already have by the bipartisan foreign policy establishment. But, I thought you had such thick skin.
Reality is, you don't, and you'd rather deal with the nicht and non from Merkel and Macron across the pond instead of the fallout at home.
Actually, you do have a second option. Figure out why Berlin and Paris spend less, and apply whatever you can to cutting the US defense budget.
Neither A nor B will happen. Trump's a big biz grifter who has no problem helping fellow big biz grifters, plus he has a Freudian male adolescent's lust for weaponry toys. So, that kills B. A, I already mentioned. For someone who allegedly hates the Blob, he hasn't drained that part of the swamp more than any other. (not that I really expected him to)
