CBS' Jennifer Jacobs reports that President Trump's primetime address is likely to be critical of NATO. Earlier today, Mr. Trump threatened to withdraw from the transatlantic military alliance. A 2023 law co-authored by then-Sen. Marco Rubio gives that power to Congress, not the president. In 2024, he told Margaret... Brennan that “Congress needs to play a role” in any U.S. decision to withdraw from the transatlantic alliance.show more

The American people support NATO. Overwhelmingly. Consistently. Across party lines. Here is what Trump does not understand, and probably cannot be told: NATO is not a burden on American power. NATO IS American power. It is the reason the United States has bases on every continent, intelligence networks in every capital, and a phone that gets answered when Washington calls. Without it, America is a large country with a lot of bombs and no friends. The midterms are coming. The historians are already writing. And the verdict will be simple: this is the man who stopped America.

@JenniferJJacobs "Critical of NATO."

@JenniferJJacobs Fuck you, Americans! Bin Laden demolished two of your houses, and we helped you! Now you're helping Russia and threatening Canada and Denmark. You're scum, just like the Russians

@MikeyKayFilms @JenniferJJacobs

Trump can threaten to leave NATO all day but he can’t do it alone. A 2023 law, co‑authored by Marco Rubio, made it clear that Congress must decide on any US withdrawal from the alliance. So when he rants against NATO, the real question is: does Congress enable him, or does it actually use that power and tell him “no”?

Utter incoherence from the White House. From February, "The effort reflects a White House drive to treat NATO as a strictly Euroatlantic defense pact and roll back decades of expansion into crisis management, global partnerships and values-driven initiatives that have long irritated the U.S. president and his MAGA base."

@JenniferJJacobs That is not for him to decide unless Congress shirks more of their responsibility to him

@CBSNews @JenniferJJacobs How can Congress play a role if they are always on vacation?

@JenniferJJacobs I think the CINC has the authority to transfer any soldier to any base in the world. So, let the Congress bray and complain but the NATO bases won't be staffed. We'll fight our wars, let the euros fight theirs.

@JenniferJJacobs PedoDon can threaten Greenland/Canada & impose tariffs on allies. And then expect allies to come help on Iran. In what fantasy world does PedoDon, his sycophants & MAGA live in? Eff rhem!The rest of the world shud stop trading w/ U.S. & implement a global digital services tax!

@JenniferJJacobs Can’t he hurry up and just fucking leave and take the troops with him? He is going to need them at home after the GOP loses the mid-terms anyway

@JenniferJJacobs MAGAshits don't care that they're flaming hypocrites.

@JenniferJJacobs No one cares what CBS (MAGA extension branch) has to say. CBS is now trash. You guys don't even know what you stand for. Report what the Fuhrer & Kompromat Trump wants or actually report the news without biases.

@JenniferJJacobs NATO needs to get their sh** together and come up with a NATO 2.0 with Ukraine playing a major role.

@JenniferJJacobs NATO has been very naughty since 2024.

@caseyjflores @JenniferJJacobs You don’t allow a junkie to keep stealing from you because you knew them before they became a junkie. America cannot allow NATO to keep stealing from us because at one point they were a good alliance. It’s time to leave NATO!

@CBSNews @JenniferJJacobs Hahahaha

@JenniferJJacobs Mr. Trump? Jesus Christ… it’s fucking President Trump.

@JenniferJJacobs Here’s what Rubio is saying now!

@CBSNews @JenniferJJacobs 😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh the irony

@JenniferJJacobs Thank you @SecRubio for introducing and passing the bill that prevents @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO. You had the foresight to prevent Trump's capricious and childish behavior. Thank you for preserving the NATO alliance.

@JenniferJJacobs You’ve all lost the plot in America. Too much living the high life, enabling the creation of a gargantuan rich-poor divide, a consumption economy entirely focussed on feeding your selfish consumption, and voting in clowns cos they say what you want to hear. 🤡🤡

@JenniferJJacobs These people have sold their soul so many times there’s nothing left.

@JenniferJJacobs Hmm...

@JenniferJJacobs Bye
