And “He regularly breaks the law and all of our signed & ratified international treaties.” We don’t mince words or use euphemisms about this stuff for anyone else. Just the One Special Boy.
Saying Trump is “transactional” is just a gentle way of saying he’s corrupt. Every power he has been trusted with, he treats as a way to extract favors and benefits from anyone he sees as situationally vulnerable.

Because the United States is pulling back, we must support Ukraine more strongly. If Ukraine falls, Russia will be at our border - and Washington won’t come to save us.
