Trump on Article 5: he says he came to The Hague with one view but now has another. He says he was deeply moved by the NATO heads of govt and their love of country and their respect for him.
The funny thing is, we can all guess that, privately, the NATO heads have absolutely no respect for him. They most likely see him as a narcissistic moron.
Nonsense Lewis. As a seasoned politics follower you must know how capricious Trump is and how you can’t actually go by anything he says. After his next conversation (and it does matter who he has last spoken to) with Putin- watch his tone change - again

There's no doubt, his tone has softened towards Ukraine and hardened towards Russia in recent months. It's incremental, but it's there.
Now that Putin's shown that he's all bluff, Trump’s not so afraid of him anymore:

I genuinely think Putin wounded him. Trump wanted to be "friends" with the mass murderer, thought he'd get favours for easy headlines.
But Putin doesn't give a shit. He wants his new empire.
