'Once a slumlord, always a slumlord': Trump nailed after latest comments
On MSNBC on Saturday morning, a political analyst laughed at Donald Trump and called him a "slumlord" over recent comments he made when attacking President Joe Biden.
Speaking with the co-hosts of "The Weekend," MSNBC's Richard Stengel compared Biden meeting with NATO leaders while the former president hosted Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán at his Mar-a-Lago luxury resort in Florida.
As he noted, there are rumblings that NATO nations will refuse to share important intel with the Trump administration should the convicted felon return to power over fears of what he will do with it.
That, in a roundabout way, led New Yorker Stengel to remind viewers about Trump's history as a real estate developer and his history, as reported by CNN, when he cut off heat and water to tenants in one of his properties that led to lawsuits and a settlement.
With regard to Trump's strained relationship with NATO, Stengel stated, "The Europeans are appalled. They see Donald Trump as the greatest security risk on the planet. They are not going to be sharing their information with the U.S."
"This idea of weakening NATO, you guys mentioned it, it makes me laugh too when I hear Donald Trump say, those NATO nations are delinquent, like they are paying rent," he added before joking, "Once a slumlord, always a slumlord. He does not understand it is about contributing 2% of their GDP for their military budget."
Stengel was citing Trump saying this week, "NATO members 'were delinquent, having paid very little.'”
