Trump should pay for his own defense.
might have to now, given how stupendously scared of very low-pitched rooftops the secret service seems to be.
It would be better than the DEI garbage provided by Secret Service that's for damn sure
ow ow easy man
You see what happened to European NATO. America was the world police for so long that they let their militaries go to crap.
Europe didn't send their very best
Taiwan is not Europe. Taiwan has a strong military. Taiwan buys American weapons.
Tell that to Ukraine..
WE are paying Ukrainians' retirement. They will never pay
RUclips decided I shouldn't say, 'Buy your own defense'.
youtube started to be socialist social media deleting simple comments..vote Republican trump 2024

He's right 👍🏾
Yes, the spokesperson is correct. Taiwan HAS been purchasing its defense from the US. It has never gotten anything free from the US. The US has benefitted from Taiwan just as the rest of the world has because of the innovation at TSMC
No to foreign aid, American s first
pathetic ☝️
@@Mustangver How about you donate instead of using taxes. How much should I sign you up for?
Amerigo Vespucci name the new world America 🌎
@@albertdeleon6272 And the natives were call Indians cause Columbus thought he reached India. LOL
I agree 💯 thank you
If you're not paying or responsible for your own country's defence... You're not a country. Certainly not a sovereign one. I think a requirement for the US to defend your country should be to become a territory of the US, and pay US taxes.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Wow. What you don't know about the World, is... EVERYTHING.
Taiwan is already paying a rip-off price to the US. It's billions of billions of dollars to the US every year. Taiwan is basically an atm for the US already. You guys are so ignorant
Who helps China to become an uncontrolled monster threatening Taiwan?
Did you hear the World "globalization" once in your whole lifetime ?
So you want America to pay for Taiwan?
Well, we have already lost our advanced micro processor businesses to Taiwan as we keep paying our tax dollars for protecting Taiwan freedom.
Did you even hear what he said? He said Taiwan has been PURCHASING. So they have been paying. Also, he said protecting Taiwan from China is for our benefit.
He pretty much said Trump has no idea what he is talking about in a professional manner.
Why are you so uninformed? Do explain
@@user-qv9dk1zt7h : What Trump really says The United States is willing to sell Taiwan more offensive weapons for gearing up her defense on the island.
@@docrhymerthis is mostly false. The Biden administration approved up to 2 billion dollars annually to give weapons to Taiwan using us taxpayers money. Its called FMF look it up
Purchasing??? Who is getting rich? Are US taxpayers paying the bills? OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD
The interesting thing is Americans think they are protecting Taiwan, they never discuss how the western world turn China into a huge threat to whole East Asia

@@Danny-bd2eh so who is getting the free lunch ??
@@Stw077 : Don’t we know that we are paying for the war in Ukraine and salaries to Ukraine government officials? Free lunch has fashionably applied to so many foreign countries with free aids to U.S. allies and NATO members but not to apply U.S. taxpayers. End of story.

every country that the US is defending should be paying for their own defense. As we used to say back in college, "ass for gas! Nobody rides for free!"
We said "grass, ass or gas" , I think. It's what I said but I'm known for butchering words and sayings. Anyway, that's water under the fridge
All male college? 😂😂

Yes Taiwan has been buying weaponry and would love to buy more … however US government has been blocking some of the sales which the government deem destabilizing.
Pay your way
4 letters, TSMC..that's the reason.
Nah, I’m all for Israel paying for its own defense, namely because they’re more than capable to do so as well as Ukraine, BUT Taiwan is standing up to a country & party that we as Americans should not want to continue on especially given that it’s the polar opposite of what we stand for
Not what maga stands for, they love them dictators....
Taiwan has no will to fight. They have 80K troops and is 60K short. Draft was only for 4 months of service. Now extended to one year. And people are still complaining. Taiwan nade no effort for peace. DPP refused to ahve dialog with China for 8 years. Currently a fisherman was arrested for fishing in Chinese water. Taiwan government refused to talk to China. Arguing it is the fisherman's fault.
US support for Taiwan has never been for Taiwan, but more anti-China. If we want Taiwan to continue to oppose China. We should pay them instead.
Of course they should!!! They have money!
Taiwan has always paid for defense. They have been buying US arms for decades. Trump is simply ignorant
So is this a rebate ? Will the us company making the sale send refunds to treasury?
shameless military industry complex
Trump should pay his huge debts!
Yeah who needs allies.
So THEN, he agrees with President Trump!
Nice try but no
He said they are already doing that
The way Trump frames it is as if they should pay the US upfront money. The US comes to the rescue.
Completely different different thoughts
@@missouri6014 not really. Nice try!
Taiwan is paying for its own defense tho. Unlike S. Korea and Japan, there's no American troops in Taiwan.
No, he said Trump has no idea what he is talking about in a professional manner. Did you really watch the same video?
I have read that China's defense budget is greater than Taiwan's entire GDP.
Only because of his hatred of Nancy Pelosi we're dealing with an individual set on retribution, he told us himself. Say what you will it only shows the good people are watching and taking names. Thanks for showing us who and what countries interest your advancing. Duly noted😅😅😅
Considering most everything manufactured today has either “made in Taiwan” or china on the tag… I’d say they have the funds.
Really ?? When's the last time you saw, or bought something that wasn't made in China??? NOT TAIWAN BABE.
b like they care about the economy
No asked about Ukraine

How much of that equipment has been delivered
I wont vote for him, but he is 100 per cent right on Taiwan should pay the US for defense and not free load on us.
.
Note the fact that US never grant TW statehood nor independence.
Taiwan is the only pitiful political entity in first island chain that has no US military base, the cost of which TW will be happily to pay.
TW has been buying US weaponry since after WWII. But most purchases undelivered, very much delayed, or in the form of delivering outdated weapons. Doesn’t this qualify as protection fee?

TW has been co-operated with US on semi-con since 1970’.
Did Taiwan raise the unit cost of the Trump Bibles? Most of the time Trump doesn't have an opinion unless his pocketbook or ego have been diminished. Now what is your opinion on quid pro quo defense spending? Oh wait....
“…to your question why are we giving taxpayer dollars I don’t know. I didn’t know 30 minutes ago when you asked me the first time so there you go.”
Pay your fair share.
B.s.
Mr. Trump, please ask God to give you wisdom, change your money and material desire life, and know how to use wisdom and highly civilized technology to benefit mankind, solve racial differences, and enhance human life and civilization. Taiwan is an important leader in human science and technology, and it is also the core of the United States. Value is also the heart of human civilization and technology. It is your head and heart, which should be protected. Mr. Trump, you still want to charge protection fees for your head and heart. This is outrageous. There is something wrong with your cognition. You are killing the goose to get the egg. How to make America great again? A high degree of scientific and technological civilization is more important than any money. Every move you make will affect the development of the United States and the rise and fall of the world. Be careful in your words and deeds. May God bless you, the future president, and make you wise and accessible to benefit mankind.
AI will rule the earth for 50 years. It has only started now. Don’t be discouraged. Come on, AI is like the brain and consciousness of the future earth. It is extremely widely used. AI is used to take care of human beings. AI is the deputy brain of human beings. It will help human beings to rebuild Coupled with the application of AI robots, the extremely heavy, harsh and dangerous labor work of humans will be done by AI robots, but one day you will know that this is the new industrial revolution, which is the application of AI and AI smart robots. Most of human work is left to robots. This is the first stage. AI and robots are a necessary combination. AI robots will replace most of human work, but will not affect human life and the future. They will help us. In all life plans for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the earth's civilization is still dominated by humans. This is a high-level civilization. Human beings' food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all done by AI robots. Robots have no labor problems and are not paid. The problem is that the human concept of monetary reward will be replaced by the concept of love and life, and the spiritual level of human beings will be elevated. Everyone is born and comes to the earth with spiritual sustenance and tasks. This is the continuation of human life and a manifestation of a high degree of civilization.
The evolution of human civilization is gradual and will happen now. Only a kind mind can create everything. The vast universe requires the joint efforts of all mankind. Humanity's outlook on life and sense of mission are also important to human existence. Mutual love and symbiosis, mutual help for all things, high civilization replaces low-intelligence barbaric wars, there will be no wars in the future, only mutual aid and love. Human beings must unite to coexist in the vast universe. This is the law of the universe, and human wisdom and knowledge will be expanded. , establishing the life history of human civilization.

Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum
Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion).
Every government is founded on Ad Baculum.
Petitio Principii can and will be used against you.
Warren v. District of Columbia
Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales
DeShaney v. Winnebago County
Lozito v. New York City
You are legally compelled via the logical fallacies Ad Populum, Ad Baculum and Ad Verecundiam to pay for protection that they are not legally obligated to provide. That's a mafia.
The highest Abrahamic value is Ignorance of Good and Evil. It's right there in Genesis. They worship Yaldabaoth, God of the Scapegoaters: God blames Man; Man blames Woman; Woman blames Serpent; Serpent blames God, more accurately - the Serpent defines God.

Ritualistic classifying surgery as a means of psychic castration, like circumcision and sub-incision, are hallmarks of patriarchal culture, a demonstration to the young that the venerable old ones still wield the all-powerful knife - and the beginning of transsexualism. Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status.
Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary.
The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc.
Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State.
All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature. This dogma echoes perpetually, omnisciently by understanding voices in self-help books, billboards, radio commercials and television talk shows to convince the public to practice continual self-suppression and hormonal restraint. Any deviation is an indication of something severely wrong with the individual.
Perhaps Lycanthropic Transformation Rites are in some way a Psychic Preparation for the millennial calamities that are thought to lie ahead.

"Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981)
"Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933)

"It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement." - Étienne de la Boétie (Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un - 1577)
"Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen. They have become the weapons of political despots and if you don't think as they think you're deprived of your passport." - Michael Chaplin as Rupert Macabee (A King in New York - 1957)
