President Trump doesn’t seem to realize that 0.93 is less than 1.36. Perhaps I’m being a little facetious here, but the point stands.

On Wednesday, explaining his reduction of U.S. military force level in Germany from 36,000 personnel to 24,000, Trump was clear as to his rationale. “We don’t want to be the suckers anymore … We’re protecting Germany, so we’re reducing the force because they’re not paying their bills. It’s very simple. They’re delinquent. So we’re reducing the force. Now, if they start paying their bills … I would think about [canceling the redeployment out of Germany].”
