      While talking to zelensky, trump said something like the war in Ukraine could have ended in three days, and zelensky said ‘am I crazy or are you quoting Putin right now?’

      I’m unwilling to listen to that embarrassing shit show again so that’s as accurate as I can get.

        That video reduced my lifespan by at least a couple years. In his previous term he was a narcissistic asshole. Could barely put up with him back then. Right now, he is something else entirely. It is like he is actually a pokemon and he evolved into his final form after getting reelected.

        I forced myself through it, wretching every time that orange asshole opened his mouth to say something fucking stupid.

        I hate him so goddamn much

        Also Trump was wrong as usual. US support for Ukraine was pretty minimal at the start of the war. Nobody expected them to last long, why supply them with heavy weaponry if it would fall into Russia’s hands in a few weeks? Lesson learned from US support of Afghanistan in the 80’s and why the Afghanistan army didn’t receive them in the 2000s. Only after Ukraine proved themselves did the West ramp up support.

          Well the US did send Javelin missiles to Ukraine before the start of the war… but only after Trump tried to hold them back in an extortion scheme on Zelenskyy to get him to smear Biden. That resulted in the first impeachment of Trump and since he’s a small and petty worm, he obviously holds a grudge.

            And then he had the gall to tell Zelensky to his face ‘I’m the one that gave you javelins!’, even though they were both on that perfect phone call where he tried to extort him.
