President Trump on Sunday tweeted, then deleted, comments on NATO members' defense spending and Republican Greg Gianforte's congressional campaign win in Montana earlier this week.

The Gianforte post in its first iteration included a stray "We" at the end, and after a few moments, it was deleted and replaced with a corrected tweet restating Trump's Friday remark that Gianforte had secured a "great win."
