The hopeful Republican candidate recently came under fire for his comments regarding South Korea and its relationship with the United States. According to Trump, South Korea is doing quite well for itself and is strong enough that the country doesn't need to rely on the United States defense forces without giving anything back, making for a "crazy" situation.

Trump, however, failed to mention that the South Korean government has historically covered much of the costs for the soldiers. In fact, the South Korean government covered a whopping $861 million of the defense costs last year. In addition, with a rising China, the United States has a strategic advantage with troops stationed in South Korea.

Netizens couldn't help but feel angered at Trump's comments, saying, "Try speaking nicely. Is that the best you can say?", "And this is the guy that says that he doesn't need money," "His hair is more real than his words," and "It would be a shame if he became president."
