Many countries in NATO, which we are expected to defend, are not only short of their current commitment of 2% (which is low), but are also delinquent for many years in payments that have not been made. Will they reimburse the U.S.?

NATO’s Article 5 — the principle that all members will help defend a member state that is attacked — has been invoked just once: on September 12, 2001. America’s allies stood ready to come to our defense. Trump would be wise to remember that.

We forget that the biggest reason NATO has been limping along—with limited member contributions—is that it no longer has a mission the allies can agree on.

Trump's base LOVES these clips because they don't care that these are false facts and they don't understand the big picture implications. They just see brash ego and think it's a win. This is the real tragedy in America right now. https://t.co/vYU0S0tKcb pic.twitter.com/D77nYHTAx9

What he's performing this AM at NATO breakfast is a repeat of his 2016 "No puppet, you're the puppet" routine, accusing others of what is suspected of him: dependency on Russia, Putin. Does not fool anybody at the NATO table of course, but they're not the intended audience

A sitting president who is subject of an ongoing criminal investigation can appoint a Supreme Court justice who will likely rule about his case. This may not be unconstitutional but it is unconscionable! https://t.co/z2SPSwz9vF

I want to repeat a statistic I use in every talk: by 2040 or so, 70 percent of Americans will live in 15 states. Meaning 30 percent will choose 70 senators. And the 30% will be older, whiter, more rural, more male than the 70 percent. Unsettling to say the least https://t.co/EGPD5nE4qG

For a president who continually cites law and order, Mr. Trump cherry picks which laws should have consequences. Burning federal land gets you a presidential pardon, but seeking asylum gets your child taken away. https://t.co/AIOfsrIo3q

At what point did it go from Brexit being the best thing for the country to it just needs to be delivered because the majority asked for it regardless of whether it’s a bad idea or not?

The amount of Labour MPs who have been grumbling about Labour's soft Brexit policy who are running to the defence of the Tories soft Brexit is frightening.

Bizarrely, this is absolutely true: there is no longer any argument about whether or not Brexit is a good idea, because it plainly, from every possible angle, is a terrible one. It's purely about this crackers, winner-trashes-all version of democracy. https://t.co/9MzGZgzut5

Dear outraged Brexit voters, you should take your anger out on those who sold you a lie (like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage) not those of us who have consistently pointed our the problems a Brexit vote would bring. Maybe even consider your own haste and lack of research

It’s been just two years since a British politician was murdered on the streets and MPs now face death threats for their views on Brexit. This is utterly irresponsible from the Telegraph. https://t.co/kQ7M7gUOYM
