'The Kaliningrad Kandidate.' Did Donald Trump Just Lose the General Election With Last Night's Comments?
The ex-president made the alarming promise to rile up a cheering crowd, that spilled on to the streets outside his rally in Conway, South Carolina, on Saturday.
'The president of a big country stood up and said "if we don't pay, and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?" I said you didn't pay, you're delinquent? He said, "yes, let's say that happened".
'No, I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever the hell they want, you gotta pay! You gotta pay your bills.'
If that doesn't scream 'The Kaliningrad Kandidate', nothing does!

The White House called Trump's words 'appalling and unhinged' and argued they 'promoted dangerous chaos'.
'President Biden has restored our alliances and made us stronger in the world because he knows every commander in chief’s first responsibility is to keep the American people safe and hold true to the values that unite us,' it said.
'Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability, and our economy at home.
'Rather than calling for wars and promoting deranged chaos, President Biden will continue to bolster American leadership and stand up for our national security interests – not against them.'
Trump's former communications director, Alyssa Farah Griffin, wrote on Twitter that his declaration that he would not help NATO allies was 'music to Putin’s ears'.
Griffin, who is now a co-host of The View, also called Trump a 'sad old man' for taunting his opponent Nikki Haley about her husband not being with her on the campaign trail because he is serving with the National Guard in Africa.
