I disagree with the guy you are responding to as well. But I don’t think he’s saying that Trump wants people to pay the 2% like it is a subscription fee. I think he’s just saying that Trump is using the possibility of leaving as a threat in the hopes that countries will meet their 2% obligation.
As to what Trump actually is saying, I have no idea, he’s hard to parse.
he’s really not that hard to parse, you just have to stop jumping to conclusions.
