GOOD TRUMP (if true): Trump Allegedly Handed Merkel A $370 Billion Bill For NATO

The Sunday Times reports Trump handed the invoice to Merkel during their first face-to-face meeting March 17 in Washington, D.C.

These folks seem to like her ... OH WAIT --->
A German minister called the move “outrageous” and said Merkel “ignored the provocation.”
“The concept behind putting out such demands is to intimidate the other side, but the chancellor took it calmly and will not respond to such provocations,” the unnamed minister told The Sunday Times.
