NATO allies concerned Trump will be our next president

No matter what Donald Trump says there will be controversy, mostly due to misstating
his intention.

When Trump says he wants fair trade with China, it is twisted and reported he wants
a trade war.  When he says he wants to keep out Muslims "until we know what we
are doing", it becomes "Trump is anti Muslim".

This has been the pattern for over a year, yet Trump has prevailed and remains
competitive despite the advantages Hillary Clinton has.

One point to address is that Trump troubles our NATO allies.  He has stated NATO
members need to pay more than they currently contribute to this defense alliance.

The media reports Trump is demanding other NATO members contribute more,
but do not report that state of NATO funding in recent years.

All NATO members are required to pay two percent of their 'economic output' for
defense. Unfortunately, of the twenty-eight members, only five meet  the threshold,
meaning 23 members are not meeting the goal, or pay nothing.
 
To fully appreciate what Donald Trump is saying, one nation out of the twenty-eight
members pays over 70%, the United States!

This is the reason Trump has said, "members of NATO have to pay more"
