I thought it is much less than that.

It is. $350 billion is wildly exaggerating the total. "To date, we have provided $65.9 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022." https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-political-military-affairs/releases/2025/01/u-s-security-cooperation-with-ukraine#:~:text=To%20date%2C%20we%20have%20provided,invasion%20of%20Ukraine%20in%202014.

Was not 350 and most of the money went to American companies!

National Embarrassment

Can somebody with reach please just take over his air time, for even 30 mins, and lay out all these big lies that he says? Somebody please, just expose him nonstop for the lying con man he is.

Trump is a cancer.

What a joke. Is he losing the few marbles he had left

markzohar.bsky.social•42 days ago

Where is the press to push back on his made up numbers? Have him or the press secretary provide the receipts.

Same place they always are when Trump speaks changing the narrative and making up some bullshit, instead of pushing back and calling him a liar. Seems like only women have the balls to call him out to his face.

We would’ve spent most of that money anyway replenishing equipment/weapons that were scheduled to be replaced or phased out. We good willed the stuff

Keep lying Donald..you're the boy who cried wolf... nobody believes anything that comes out of your mouth

The man just keeps lying, thinks that people don’t know what’s going on.

jubrown.bsky.social•42 days ago

He keeps lying. And, he’s letting the American people know he has no idea what is going out from the budget office who has said America is “in for” less than $2 billion.

According to the US State Department, the United States has provided Israel with over $130 billion in bilateral assistance since 1948. Was this a loan or forgiven aid?
