President Trump's Most Noble Sentiment?

Probably when he stated that, "we cannot continue to pay for the military protection of Europe while the N.A.T.O. states are not paying their fair-share and living off the fat of the land." And that, "we have been very generous to Europe and it is now time for us to look out for ourselves, knowing full well that the Europeans will not do anything for us simply because we have in the past helped them." And that, "we should consider very hard the narrower interests of the United States."......What's that? It wasn't President Trump who said this but rather J.F.K.? Well I'll be damned...….And this was at a time when N.A.T.O. actually made some sense (though, yes, I still tend to agree with President Washington that foreign entanglements of any kind should be eschewed). Damn, huh?
