Just in case you were in any doubt at all that US President Donald Trump is delusional and not quite all there, you need look no further than his statements after the recent NATO meeting.
Mr. Trump apparently thinks that the NATO meeting "made a tremendous amount of progress", that NATO members had "substantially upped their commitment" (Trump has been agitating for a 4% of GDP financial commitment from NATO members), and that "they agreed to pay more, and they agreed to pay it more quickly". In fact, all that happened is that the members reaffirmed their commitment to spend 2% of GDP within a time-scale ending in 2024, a commitment that was made back in 2014, long before Trump arrived on the scene.
So, how do we account for this major discrepancy in understanding? Well, you tell me.
