Trump apparently lying about NATO again

No identification of who supposedly called him. But the bully-in-chief likes to use NATO as a punching bag.

Trump: "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! President DJT"

Some of the Bluesky replies:

‪I'll take "things that never happened for $200, Ken."

Someone told him what a paper tiger is over the last month. That’s his new “high IQ” phrase.
