Imagine thinking that the EU was formed "to take advantage of the US" rather than as a response to bring allies closer together, prosper together, and help prevent another tragedy like WWII. https://t.co/j5mgYMJVEP

If only a reporter would ever ask him to state a specific example when he bloviates about the U.S. being “taken advantage of” or “ripped off.” Anyone else out there infuriated by this?

I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't know how to make friends or allies. He just knows how to pay for them. https://t.co/JNIqSlInle

Trump's claim that Ireland and the EU exploit the US is baseless and ignores economic realities. His ignorance on global trade is embarrassing, especially during a diplomatic meeting with Ireland's PM.

How are we a world power then if every single friendly country is taking advantage of us? Oh, I know, because Trump is a liar who doesn't understand economics.

Imagine being so fucking self-centered that he thinks the EU was setup because of the US. The narcissism is fucking beyond insane.

Could someone please persuade him to read a history book or is it his desire to go down in history as the most ignorant American President of all time?https://t.co/PD0L8bwUww

We want to see this happen – preferably live.
Has any reporter asked him if Russia is taking advantage of the US? Of him? https://t.co/OqxG3QuhA9
