What's interesting is that this is not a new issue, nor is it the first time it has been raised (see http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/08/news/nato-summit-spending-countries/ http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/08/news/nato-summit-spending-co... from last year), yet Trump is apparently the bad guy for mentioning it. I think a very spirited debate can be held over the need for the United States to spend as much as it does on national defense, but I'm hard-pressed to imagine how one can defend the financial dereliction by many of our NATO allies.
