I think Mr. Trump has backbone. I think being direct is the way to go. The United States has led the free world for a long time. Europe took the collapse of the Soviet Union as a mandate to take defense dollars and spend them on other things. The threat never went away. It's only diminished somewhat. I think untrustworthy is the wrong word. I think indecision and complacency are the big threats today. All Trump is saying is, we need to plan for the future. Before the start of World War II, President Roosevelt stated the United States would not get involved in European conflicts. Not long after, we did. What Trump is doing is nothing new.
