It's one of the most astounding declarations ever said by someone running for President. It should decisively end his campaign. How do Republicans hear this and not instantly drop their support of him?
How can Republicans defend Trump calling on Russia to attack our allies?

Marco is out there supporting him right now.
Because they are pieces of shit, just like him
If Biden said this, if Hillary did, if Kamala did, Rs would be calling for their heads. But Trump says it and they still think he's a great guy.
There's no answer. He should not be a candidate.
And yet he not only leads every other Republican, he crushes them. This isn't a Trump problem. It's a GOP problem. It's clear they will flock to whichever candidate who will rule them like an iron fist. It's hard not to think that Rs crave for a dictatorship.
After further review, I’m not worried about the comment. He never follows through on any of his promises, so I am going to chalk this up to a Jim Jones-esque rant to cult.
As a former Republican, I don’t get it. I’m done trying to get it. Frankly, at this point, I don’t want to get it.
I figured the American experiment with a democratic republic would last at least 300 years. Guess not.
It's because objective people realize that he's actually calling on the NATO members to pay their fair share. It's not really an encouragement for Russia to attack someone, it's encouragement to pay what you've agreed or proceed at your own risk and don't expect to be bailed out. I don't like Trump but it really doesn't seem that controversial. Just seems like the Superlibs are trying to focus on ANYTHING other than the dementia report.
How do we continue with our country when one party so obviously wants us to become North Korea and Russia disciples? We can beat them in the elections for only so long. Once they win back the WH it's hard to fathom the Republicans not totally dismantling our country to turn us into a terrorist state.
So what do you think he would do if Russia attacked a NATO country that didn't pay what Trump believes is their share?
He literally said he is encouraging Russia to attack our allies in any way they see fit. You cannot walk something like that back.
JFC you idiot.
“No, I would not protect you,” Mr. Trump recalled responding. “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You’ve got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”
Let me correct my earlier statement. JFC you deplorable idiot.
Oh we need to believe him. He is saying the quiet parts out loud.
You superlibs seem really mad. It's been a bad week, I understand.
It's because they are no longer the Republican party. They are the Trump party, with an everchanging platform, based on whatever ramblings he spews that day.
Rubio's response and your response are both reasonable.
He’s owning the libs, Bigly. They hate Democrats and Europeans, who they view as 100% socialist, more than they care about freedom.
I'll ask you then, what do you think he would do if Russia attacked a NATO country that didn't pay what Trump believes is their share?
Im not a fan of the NATO expansion that's occurred over the years. It's decidedly antagonistic. I can't imagine American blood being spilled over Lithuania and such.
Yea, to pieces of shit
He would do the same if everyone in NATO had paid in full. Agent Orange is pro-dictator. He wants to be a dictator and one of the ways to make that happen here is to help dictators around the world. The money is just an excuse. He’d easily find some other nonsensical justification and his idiot base would eat it up just the same.
What about Russian expansion? Into Ukraine?
I encourage Europe to step up more to stop that aggression.
But Trump said that Russia could do whatever they wanted to Europe and he would cheer this retribution on.
Going the “libs are oversensitive and taking his comments the wrong way” route i see
I thought Trump was a pathological liar? That he was incapable of telling the truth.
Trump takes no shit and tells it like it is.
Unless he is joking
If he isnt joking, you oversensitive libs are just taking his comments the wrong way
You are such a friggin idiot. Deplorable and indefensible. Trump can say whatever vulgar, dangerous, and unhinged thing in the world, and you will laugh it off because it pisses people off with whom you disagree politically.
There is no hyperbole when we tell you that you are part of the group that is destroying our country. You need to reevaluate your priorities.
Says the pro-Russian.
He lies to protect his ass or to make himself look good. When he tells you want he wants to do, he is telling you exactly what he wants to do. Hell, he probably is lying in his account of the story. But the story is clearly an accurate representation of his thoughts.
NATO only expands when nations fear Russia enough to join. If we could make Russia disappear there would not be a NATO.
You don't think the very idea of NATO almost assuredly stops that possibility from even happening? You have very 2D thinking
