President Trump just told NATO to screw off, calling them a “paper tiger” in one of the most devastating burns yet.
“Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!”
Trump never forgets treachery, but he also never forgets bravery. In separate posts he thanked Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar for stepping up with real help when it mattered, signaling a clear shift toward new alliances that actually deliver results.

This is peak Trump: America First in action. NATO sat on the sidelines when the U.S. Navy was clearing mines and enforcing the blockade alone. Now that the crisis is resolved and the strait is fully open, they suddenly want in — only to load up on cheap oil. Trump shut that down instantly.
Meanwhile, Gulf partners showed real courage and cooperation. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. The old, one-sided alliances are over. New partnerships based on strength and mutual benefit are taking their place.
