Why on earth would Trump turn "that spigot on" when Zelensky just said more than $100bn dollars is missing?
“Why on earth would Trump turn “that spigot on” when Zelensky just said more than $100bn dollars is missing?”
Because Trump is not an idiot. Trump understands power politics very well.
Who does Trump trust more? Zelensky or the CIA?
Who does Trump have more control over? Zelenski or the CIA?
These are not trick or trivial questions.
Trump will, eventually, gain control of the CIA. He may not have control of the CIA yet, or of the FBI, yet.
Trump very much wants to stop the war in the Ukraine.
He is not willing to allow the Russians to take all of the Ukraine.
Trump cannot do much about US corruption which has already occurred. He can affect what is going on in the Russian-Ukraine war at present.
