He wants a deal with Putin. A deal that neither helps Ukraine or The US

Is this the end of the world as we know it? It feels that way

Ukraine was never a threat to Russia, yet Putin used propaganda, lies, and force to justify an unprovoked war. It’s a desperate bid for power at the cost of innocent lives. No spin can justify war crimes and suffering. Ukraine has every right to defend itself, and we must stand against this tyrant

Trump has been siding with and working PUTIN since 2016 I say he is KGB

Putin. Definitely Putin.

Trump has always planned to throw Ukraine under the bus. It’s all about the grift and breaking our country while he lines his pockets.. oh yeah, and stays out of PRISON.

Ask yourself “What would Putin do?”, then you’ll know what Trump plans.

lylescout.bsky.social•10 hours ago

When Trump spoke about wanting peace during the campaign, he meant cozying up to dictators.

jrmed9870.bsky.social•9 hours ago

He wants to suck putins dick and eat putins asshole

thisisme7.bsky.social•10 hours ago

You know the answer to that is he, JR, and Eric said they don’t need money from American banks they have all they need from Russia. Trump has been a traitor since 1987.

He made a mockery of the American Presidency today. I would love to know what he believes he personally will gain from backing Putin's agenda. At some point, it has to occur to these old men that their time will pass and the devastation they have caused will land in the laps of their children.

Trump is a Russian asset owned and operated by Putin.

The Truth Behind Trump Tower Moscow: How Trump Risked Everything For A (Relatively) Tiny Deal

Trump on one end & Putin on the other, the Web of people involved in Trump's plans for Moscow included members of his Family, oligarchs & Russian officials

He never truly cared about Trump Tower Moscow. It was the billion-dollar loan Putin arranged through his oligarchs that Trump loved. If Putin called that loan due, Trump would have been ruined.

I’ll guess the second one is the right answer.

maggienorth.bsky.social•10 hours ago

To hear Trump whine about how he and Putin are kindred spirits that shared "hell" bestowed upon them by the Democrats was priceless. It also revealed how much he, Trump, will come to Putin's defense.

dano50.bsky.social•2 hours ago

I think it’s obvious from the mountain of overwhelming evidence of American betrayal you cited on your show: Trump is beholden to Putin in myriad ways and is Putin’s literal puppet. Trump is clearly Putin’s most valuable asset who must now “fulfill his obligations.”

Trump just wants Putin to like him so Ukraine is like a birthday gift he can’t wait to wrap up in a big red bow.

Putin.

gorupa24.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Why would we ever think that an individual who is beholden to Putin, would stand up and do the right thing. Of course he is working for the best interests of Putin. Not for democracy.

billwsmithjr.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Trump owes Putin over a billion dollars, plus "interest".

Trump is the enemy of the United States and the free world, and is an extension of Putin.

Wake up.

abraveeagle.bsky.social•10 hours ago

He has given justification on why he will withdraw funds to Ukraine.
A pure and simple set up
that was Plan A
Plan B "This is going to be great television, I will say that"

Pretty sure the only deal Trump wants to do with Putin requires special knee pads.

It was always to give Putin whatever he wants… how quickly we forget, how Putin aired Melania’s sex tape on Russian television.

Putin owns Trump. “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations,” Patrushev told the business daily https://newrepublic.com/post/188284/vladimir-putin-donald-trump-election-obligations

Donald Trump just signaled that he will abandon Ukraine making the US weaker.
