The purpose of this is that right wing news media will only report what Trump said while never mentioning the rebuttal. Now they’ll do whatever they want and when they get push back they’ll say “yeah but you said we could” and all of his fans will back him up. And since Trump purged most of the senior military that opposed him the military will most likely back him up too. So now if there’s an international incident involving the illegal use of US military bases in Spain they can say it was Spain that broke the agreement.

Facts don’t matter for these people. They only care about what their dear leader says while everything else is noise or ignored entirely. Essentially, this message isn’t for us or Spain, it was for MAGA.

Bro we just wanna own the things we bought and paid for. You’re not making a good argument here, Microslop.
