    We don’t actually have to pay $300b. That seems to be Trump’s original idea.

    Is he getting a kickback?

      $300b is roughly the inflation adjusted reparations Germany paid, signed in Versailles, 14 Points, with the last one about the UN, similar to the American peace proposal for WW1.
      Whoever wrote this up knows to much history to be from the Trump admin.
