Trump calls South Korea president
I called the president of South Korea and asked if they would help with Iran. If you want, we don't need help. Their answer was No, thank you. I asked what do you mean? We have 39,000 soldiers there protecting them from Kim Jong Un, and you're not going to help us on a military operation in Iran? The US is guarding South Korea and paying billions of dollars to protect them. Look at NATO. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars. #DonaldTrump

Very nice, actually. But I called him. I said, would you like to give us a little hand? We don't need help with Iran. But if you'd like, give us a hand with Iran. He said, no thanks. And I said, wait a minute. We have 39,000 soldiers over there guarding you from Kim Jong-un, your next-door neighbor. And you're not going to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran? That's strange. No, no, we'd rather not get involved. I say, well, why are we involved in helping you? So, and I want to help them. But, you know, when you ask somebody, would you like to give us a hand, and they say, no thanks, and then we're guarding them from a country and paying ourselves billions of dollars, costing us billions and billions of dollars to protect, not only them, but other countries. Look at NATO. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars
