U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have set his eyes on Greenland again while venting frustration at NATO, as the diplomatic fallout from Iran war exposes rifts in Washington’s ties with the security alliance.

    Donvict Trumpepstein again demonstrating how he doesn’t understand how NATO works and then passing along that misinformed view as propaganda to his ignorant MAGA base. He lost to Iran and now he wants to lose to NATO too. Not America First. This is Russia First. Agent Krasnov makes Putin smile. Worst prez ever!
