Sen. Mitt Romney called President Trump’s plan to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Germany a “grave error.”

The Utah Republican unleashed a scathing complaint after Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced on Wednesday that the Pentagon would start the process of pulling some 11,900 troops out of the country “within weeks.”

I would call Germany’s refusal to meet its NATO commitments a slap in the face.

Germany wants to make deals with Putin. Why are we there protecting Germany from Putin? Seems counterproductive

Is there a single solitary thing that our great President Trump could do for which Romney would provide a positive statement to the fawning press?

There will still be several thousands of American Troops remaining in Germany for now. It’s not like we are totally leaving all at once.

Yes !
Tie Donald Trump, junior onto the roof of his car, and then go 'on vacation'.
That seems appropriate in this topsey-turvey world !

Romney whinges like a three old, only for the reason to embarrass Trump. STFU Willard. You failed to win the presidency and that is why you hate Trump; he won, you lost.

I guess Romney has been asleep for 75 years, just woke up and thinks it’s still 1945. Of course that means he missed 1989-1990 also. What has Germany done since 1989-90 to assume a bigger role in defending Western Europe???

He needs to run for president again, just so he can lose again and have his his hissy fit again.

A slap in the face won’t hurt willard, as his face is attached to his head. There is nothing in there so a few whacks will probably help the nitwit.

Forget RINO, Romney is a full on democrat pretending to be a republican. Kick him out of the republican part now.

Romney’s bosses at Boeing/Lockheed/itsallonebigtrustanyhow are unhappy. Careerist at the Pentagon can’t be pleased either. Other domestic enemies masquerading as Senators will be piping up soon.
