"Trump's NATO Gambit: A Threat to European Security"

TL;DR Summary
Retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, a former commander of US Army Europe, believes that Donald Trump wants the US to abandon NATO because he "hates alliances" and doesn't want anyone restricting his options, likening him to a "mafia type." Hodges stated that Trump's animosity toward NATO has nothing to do with member countries' defense spending and that he is willing to abandon Europe if re-elected. Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, also compared him to a "mob boss," saying that Trump behaves like one and gives orders without leaving any fingerprints.
