... "TRUMP ON UKRAINE: They're never going to be there for us,'" Gaetz wrote in a post on the social platform X, sharing comments from Trump at the morning meeting.

According to Gaetz, Trump also asserted the U.S. should "pay OUR TROOPS" instead of sending billions of dollars to Ukraine.

"Trump trashing the Ukraine Aid to @SpeakerJohnson's face is so epic," Gaetz added.

The Hill has reached out to Trump's campaign and Johnson's office for comment.

Gaetz, who has long been critical of sending more aid to Ukraine, met with Trump and other House Republicans on Capitol Hill, in a meeting Gaetz earlier likened to a "pep rally." Trump had a second meeting with Senate Republicans, which included some of his sharpest GOP critics in Congress. ...

I dunno about that.

If Ukraine decides to join NATO then, by definition, Ukraine will be there for the United States and all the other NATO members.

Indeed, NATO invoked Article 5 (~an attack on any is an attack on all~) once and only once in its history --- because of the 9/11 attack on the United States.

Just like in 2016, Combover Quisling has no chance to win in November without massive help from his Russian boyfriend.

"Trump feels he has no choice but to bend over for Putin."

Or, as it's oft said, Trump already ate the steak. Now he has to pay for it.

And pay, and pay, and pay and pay.

Because Mr. Putin didn't get his money's worth in 2016. NATO still stands in the path of Russia's expansion and Trump's dilly-dallying put Mr. Putin 8 years behind schedule.

Aahhh you so funny Shrimptaco...

Of course it IS impossible to take someone
with a handle like yours seriously. And so I don't.

Prediction: Biden will clean Trump's chronometer in the 1st debate.

90 +% of the money for Ukraine stays in America creating American jobs. Felon's record indicates he hates American workers.
And hilarious Felon says pay American troops,AKA suckers and losers after stealing money from them to build his falling down Wall
