Watch Barney Frank on Morning Joe a few days ago. He was saying the same things about NATO, Europe, Japan, S. Korea and why we are still paying for their defense. It is just that you have found a new whipping boy.
In a more polite manner of speaking - hogwash.
Frank is not "saying the same things" as Trump. Either you're dissembling or you really are the village idiot everyone here makes you out to be (with a substantial degree of effort on your part, I might add).
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, though I'll probably regret it.
Frank is saying something that bears a degree of resemblance to what Trump is saying in that they both agree (in a very broad sense) that the U.S. shouldn't foot as much of the bill for international defense as we do.
Beyond that, however, they diverge to a state of diametric opposition.
Trump is hardly a "whipping boy" - when you live by the imbecilic soundbite, you should expect to receive your just reward in kind.
