President Trump: "If I Said I Would Defend Them, They Wouldn't Have Paid"

After watching Clinton's and Biden's preposterous statements regarding his NATO comments on his recent town hall interview (Clinton: "Why is Trump so enamored of Putin? Part of it is he's a wannabe dictator"), President Trump responded to host Laura Ingraham's question if he's not going to defend NATO countries if they haven't paid their 2 % by explaining that the European (NATO) nations have taken advantage of America on NATO and trade.

He also told her that in his opinion, the US was almost paying 100 % for Europe's military and that he told said nations that if they don't pay up, he won't defend them.
Then he mentioned the question "Does that mean that if we don't pay, you will not defend us from Russia?" he was asked at a meeting with 28 countries, which he said "Yes" to, arguing that if he would've said he would defend them, they wouldn't have paid.

Following that argument, he referred to how the money "miraculously" came in billion by billion as soon as he made clear that they have to pay if they want America's protection.
