Summary

Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.

His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.

Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.

While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.

    Chump wants his name on something. Anything.

    A geographical “monument” to him. Something that says forever “Chump was here and did that”.

    Started with buildings, moved to a border wall, then Rushmore, and now he’s looking on a global scale… Panama, Greenland, Gulf, etc.

    And he’s willing to give/do anything to get it. Likely including WW3. That’d be something to point to.

    Also why he’s aligning with Putain’s goal to recreate USSR, and Xi’s goal of absorbing Taiwan. Makes the Little Toddler Idiot feel like he has influence on a global scale that will be viewed with awe by all who gaze upon it in perpetuity.

    Much more likely those viewers will point to any such changes with absolute derision and laughter.

    I know I will.

      Yeah, reading all the responses I think you’re the one who’s got it most correct: no overarching plan, no real fealty to Putin (just fanboyism, not ‘kompromat’), just pure unbridled narcissism.
