Great success today at NATO! Billions of additional dollars paid by members since my election. Great spirit! | | | | | Nobody knows what this "Great success today" was?
There was nothing new in the NATO meeting summary declaration that Trump also signed here which also reaffirmed the plan for countries to reach their 2% spending goal in 2024.
There was a lot of Trump rhetoric at the meeting but nothing changed as a result.
Maybe Trump thinks his followers are so dumb they will simply believe it was a great success for him without requiring details?

The figures don't back any of the claims up.  | | | | | The figures clearly show that under Trump the numbers of refugees received has been cut, as claimed: New data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees showed that the U.S. took in 33,000 refugees last year, down from 97,000 under Obama, who had pushed to raise the ceiling to 110,000.
President Trump vowed to reverse that flow, raising concerns that refugees were not being vetted well by the United Nations. He pushed to cut refugees to 45,000 a year |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Some bloke called Colbert made reference to Trump alledgedly being spanked with a copy of Forbes magazine by Stormy Daniels. Hence the new nickname, "Spanky".
Such things work nicely in making opponents feel smug and superior, but do little to address the actual issues. Unless playground taunts really can bring down leaders of countries. | | | | |
Ouch now thats just mean.
It was Stephanie Clifford said it, I don't know if that counts as an 'allegation', she was the spanker, Spanky was the spankee.

As President he simply set the cap on refugees at 45,000 which is a decision within the Presidential purview. Not a big deal for him, somebody wrote the order for him and he signed it.
It is not like he had to negotiate with anybody or convince someone. Source | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

They should've made one of Boris to keep Trump company.. to leave him floating about on his own is just plain rude.

Trump on immigration in Europe: "I think it changed the fabric of Europe and, unless you act very quickly, it’s never going to be what it was and I don’t mean that in a positive way. I think you are losing your culture. Look around. You go through certain areas that didn’t exist ten or 15 years ago."

I remember visiting Geneva 15 years ago and it was great, so great. Very clean, no immigrants. I visited Malmo last month again and now it is full of Muslims and Asylum Seekers. The country has really suffered. So bad.

I think the beyond the visual spectacle, the expectation was that it would get people talking about it, perhaps posting about it, perhaps on forums, perhaps even in Switzerland.
And you did.
