YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMatt Frei is joined by Trump ally Greg Swenson to debate the President's behaviour over the past week.
The President sparked anger from ex-servicemen and their families over his claim that British troops and NATO allies stayed off the frontline in Afghanistan.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump said: "We've never needed them. They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
This is the latest in a long line of jabs towards NATO, following the President's conquest for Greenland and tariff threats.
