The admiration Donald Trump has for Vladimir Putin is grounded, in part or in whole, by the fact that Putin is one if the richest men in the world … and who has enriched himself - like other Trump pals Orban, Kim, Xi, Erdogan - by bullying his people, the Trumpian dream.
"Trump sees NATO not as an alliance for mutual benefit, but again as a kind of international protection racket in which countries pay a fee to the US to defend them. "
Trump doesn't understand that countries DO NOT pay a fee to the US to defend them.

The alliance doesn't have its own army and its military protections are insured by member countries, according to NATO's website.
