Nothing is going to happen.
The aid will pass and everybody here will keep rah-rahing for the Republicans and accuse people like me who think the system is broken beyond repair of being DU plants.

First, that's not what he said. He complained about Europe not doing enough.

Second, when you add economic aid, refugee assistance and military assistance, Europe has spent more than the United States.

Very consistent to say the least .. taking about Japan and Kuwait here but same point

Trump in 1987 saying we don’t need to cut programs for the poor we need to stop foreign counties from ripping off the United States

another article was posted a bit ago of DJT saying Ukraine is important to our safety/security (which I totally disagree with). Which is it?? Is he FOR funding Ukraine or not??

I’ll stay with Trump 100%.

Hopefully Europe will stand up.

Ukraine ping

Gayway Pundit is trying to salvage something out of the Trump statement supporting Ukraine. Jim Hoft’s so far unrequited affection for Putin may soon have to take a back seat on his blog, when Trump finally switches from mealy-mouthed trial balloon to full-throated support for Ukraine.

Why isn’t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation! Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need? As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us! GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for “ME” and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!

But he'll never admit he backed someone who turned out to be a POS.

GOOD! I was starting to question his judgement of associates.

What the Gateway Pundit said Trump said:

Trump: Why isn’t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation! Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need?

As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us! GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for “ME” and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!

What and how Trump posted on Truth Social:

"Why isn’t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation! Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need? As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us! GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for “ME” and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!"
notice the difference? Conradson's editing changes what the reader is supposed to think Trump meant. Trump was not opposing aiding Ukraine. He was opposing Europe dragging its feet on arming Ukraine on their.

Quite a few Republicans and MAGA who presume to understand Trump need to pay attention to when he wrote I am the only one who speaks for “ME”.

“Europe”, as in a combo of European countries plus the EU as an organization, has already paid more on behalf of Ukraine than the US has.

This assertion that Europe isn’t paying enough is a US political talking point and it isn’t remotely true.

Johnson can simply and accurately reply that Europe has committed more funds than has the US.

Europe as a whole has in fact committed roughly twice the funding that the US has. That said, the Germans and French in particular have been even slower with weapons deliveries than the US. (Funds are committed, but actual weapons deliveries lag.)

Best for Ukraine would be if the Euro’s sped things up with weapons purchases from the US, but for economic and political reasons the Euro’s don’t do that, for the most part.

Trump can already say: “Very good Europe, you listened to me!”

Trump should deliver a beatdown to that egomaniac Matt Gaetz for going down this path in the first place.

Kevin McCarthy was a more effective, more conservative Speaker than "MAGA Mike." No contest.

When it's all said and done I guess McCarthy's only real sin in Barbie Boy's eyes was not running interference for him with the Ethics Committee.

“Mike Johnson has just been put in the hot seat by MAGA Man, Donald J. Trump. Let’s see what his response is.”

Every Republican in the House is on notice.
