Former President Trump
Ex-President Donald Trump's recent comments saying Russia should do whatever the hell it wants to NATO countries that don't pay their fair share isn't sitting well with Polish Americans in Michigan, who find his remarks appalling and unAmerican, the Detroit News reports.
Michigan has the third largest Polish American populatiion in the U.S. with more than 760,000 people.
The News interviewed several Polish Americans who expressed concerns that Trump would pull back from its NATO commitments or pull out from the organization all together.
