"Trump really is an unhinged individual. 457 UK military personnel KIA in Afghan. Over 2,200 injured, of which over 620 seriously. They fought with courage and dedication and Trump cannot be allowed to trample on their memory Share Good morning. Donald Trump enjoys causing offence but the problem with having a reputation for being outrageous and provocative is that, as people get used to your outrages, you have to go further and further to continue to get a response."
"In his meandering ramble at Davos (a cavalcade of falsehoods, as explained by CNN here), Trump repeated a criticism of Nato he has made before, saying: What we have gotten out of Nato is nothing, except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now Russia. This was so wrong that even Nigel Farage felt impelled to speak out and say so."
"Trump told Fox News that he was not sure Nato allies would be there for the US if we ever needed them. He went on: We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines. Even in an age where outrageous comments are pumped out by social media all the time, this hit a new low;"
Donald Trump criticised NATO at Davos, saying the alliance had yielded "nothing" except protecting Europe from the Soviet Union and Russia. He told Fox News he was unsure NATO allies would support the United States if needed and described allied contributions in Afghanistan as limited and off the front lines. Doug Beattie called Trump "unhinged" and warned that Trump cannot be allowed to trample on the memory of UK service personnel, citing 457 UK KIA and over 2,200 injured. Nigel Farage and multiple British politicians also criticised Trump, while Keir Starmer had generally avoided public criticism previously.
