Trump is really smart! By thinking in reverse, the whole picture completely opens up! On January 23, Trump wrote that maybe we should test NATO: invoke Article 5 to force NATO to come here and protect our southern border from further illegal immigration, thereby freeing up a large number of border patrol officers to perform other tasks. It must be said that Trump's ingenious idea is truly a "business genius," and after thinking in reverse, the whole picture completely opens up.
What does Trump mean? That is, since NATO is an organization of mutual assistance among allies, why can't the NATO allies now help the United States solve the problems it faces? Trump's meaning is clear: it's time for NATO to invoke Article 5 to help the United States combat illegal immigration. Frankly speaking, now that Trump thinks this way, he may well do it in the future.
To activate Article 5 of NATO, NATO has only been activated once since its establishment, which was after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when the U.S. allies helped the United States fight against Al-Qaeda. However, asking the allies to deploy their armies to help the United States combat illegal immigration sounds quite absurd. Combating illegal immigration is more like a police job, where would the need for military forces arise. But since Trump has such a wild idea, trying to take advantage of his allies, there's nothing really wrong with that.
