Trump Jr. suggests the president may walk away from Ukraine entirely

Donald Trump Jr. revealed that his father, President Donald Trump, may walk away from Ukraine due to the lack of progress towards a peace deal.

Speaking at a forum in Doha on Sunday, Trump Jr. criticized the major corruption in Ukraine, which penetrated the highest levels of government in Kyiv, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s longtime chief of staff Andriy Yermak, who resigned after facing a massive embezzlement probe.

Yermak, the former lead negotiator for Ukraine who was widely regarded as the second-most powerful figure in the nation, resigned after anti-corruption investigators raided his home last month in connection with an alleged kickback scheme leading to the theft of over $100 million.

Trump Jr. spoke on a recent visit to Monaco, stating that “50% of the supercars, the Bugattis, the Ferraris, the this — all had Ukrainian [license] plates. Do we think that was actually earned in Ukraine? I’ve been to Ukraine 20 years ago, it wasn’t like there was a plethora of wealth there and yet you see the number two there getting arrested for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“Because of the war, and because he’s one of the great marketers of all time, Zelensky became a borderline deity, especially to the left, where he could do no wrong, he was beyond reproach,”

“What’s good about my father, and what’s unique about my father is you don’t know what he’s going to do: the fact that he’s not predictable. He’s not following the playbook of every clown who’s, again, been a bureaucrat for decades,” he continued. “[The president] forces everyone to actually deal in an intellectually honest capacity.”

“the fact that he’s not predictable”

Running the USA should be done on a rational basis in partnership with Congress while Republicans have nominative control.

He’s not trying to buy Third Avenue property on the cheap.

Russians that lose 10,000 killed/20,000 severely disabled per month and gaining next to nothing might be made to see reason.

Russians seeing a path to victory tend to be even more pig-headed than usual.

Delay in piecing a deal together will be costly, especially to Ukraine.

If Ukraine was not corrupt, how did Hunter get a board seat on a energy company board? It was and is massively corrupt.

And NATO and the EU. They don’t share or values; they are not our allies; they are turning back an into old-style centro-euro-fascio-tyranno -imperialist state -while they operate under our nuclear umbrella and leach off of us for the revenu to pay for it. That’s because they are culturally superior to us.

Remember George III.

Yeah, “rational”. Like all the stupid globalists who have created a terrible mess? Being unpredictable is just smart in 47’s position.

Of course Ukraine is corrupt, however, that does not mean that the US Congress and Democrat Presidents are not more corrupt and Marxist than Zelensky’s Ukraine.

Walking away from Ukraine will force Ukraine to deal with their situation, rather than drag it out, thinking that we’ll, eventually, save them when the final assault starts (or Trump is out of the White House).

Likewise, walking away from Europe will force them to deal with their civilization-destroying situation, rather than ignore it, thinking that we’ll, eventually, save them when the final assault starts. (hint, we’re not strong enough to save them at that point, not even Russia will be able to save them at that point)

Do it I double dog dare him to do it. Get to work making America a better place. It’s been a year and things aren’t much better and some of his antics are starting to wear thin. It was a hot start back in Nov 2024 but the gains are slowing and NOT ONE OF THE LIBERAL CRIMINALS HAVE BEEN PUT IN CUFFS!!

Wait a minute, Don. I know personally at least one die-hard conservative, gun guy, Trump supporter, who fell hard for the Fox News lionizing of Zelensky in 2022, immediately deemed him beyond reproach, and would not be told otherwise. Doubtless there are still many others.

Without the staunch backing of the Senate GOP, Zelensky would have been gone a long time ago.
