"We've changed that. We get the benefit of spending less on military support for Europe."

Have only read a couple of posts in this thread, so apologies if this has been covered.

I agree that there were benefits to the USA being Daddy Warbucks in regards to Europe and NATO. So Trump is slashing spending, cutting USA contributions to NATO. If that is so, why is Trump asking for the US Military budget to be increased to $1.5 Trillion, or whatever pie in the sky BS he is spewing ???? Shouldn't US Military spending decrease if we are no longer are backing Europe and NATO ??
