Former President Donald Trump and Ben Hodges, a former commander of US Army Europe.
  • Donald Trump wants the US to abandon NATO because he "hates alliances," a former Army general says.
  • Ben Hodges said Trump was a "mafia type" who "doesn't want anybody restricting his options."
  •  "He couldn't care less about moral obligations," Hodges said.

A former US Army general says Donald Trump's animosity toward NATO has nothing to do with its members not spending enough on their own defense.
