This Ukraine funding deal is not a “Loan” as honest people define “loans.


Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine Foreign Aid Package is another contrived “no-repay loan” like Hunter Biden got from his sugar-daddy who, as a Biden donor, happened to have $60 million handily laying around (like most working class people do /s):
<><>the Ukraine “loan” allows Joe to “Forgive” 50% of the billions Nov 15, when Trump wins,
<><>or lets Biden forgive 100% of “the Loan” Later On (If he pulls off a 2nd election steal)


Rotflol......the billion dollar joke’s on us.
Zelensky knows that routine. Its already been tried.

Few years back, billions more of our tax dollars to Israel
were handed out———designated a do-good foreign aid “loan.”

But when it came time to pay, Israel got its lobbies to manhandle Congress.

The battered, bruised Congress sap-happily passed a law
.........saving its collective political ***es.......
quickly turning the foreign aid “loan” billions into a “gift.”

That is actually NOT what he said..if people actually READ what he wrote on truth social its that Europe should pay the same amount of funding as the US, that Europe doesn’t pay their fare share

Trump didn’t say that. You’re just talking crap as usual.

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!

Why are we putting in more when we have already put in way more than Europe. They should equalize and you wouldn’t need more American money. The combined European Economy is comperable in size to the U.S so there is no reason for the U.S to have double the cost.
He has made this same point for the last year and he just reinterated what he’s been saying. He also said, in essence, no one else speaks for me. Trump is the boss. He’s not even President and everyone cares about what he says more than the President of the United States. That’s pretty amazing.

Crazy position

We’re going to find out about the many Intel gathering and disease labs in place before any conflict.

Pick a number and tell us the limit for dumping money into Ukraine, because it’s people like Gen Milley that tell us we have to do it, and they are all 2 years from retirement and they could care less if the Debt is $400 Trillion. The honest brokers of the financial impact of Ukraine is what is missing from all the Votes and TV coverage.

This is LIE. Trump was being sarcastic.

Here Trump said on Truth Social:

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!

So, on a conservative website, “Donald Trump says....” isn’t even remotely true.

I’d like to wonder why this sort of thing isn’t better moderated.

Not much of a shift sense he wants a peace deal with the Ukraine and Russia. Though saying it’s “important” to America is a bit of a stretch.

Now ever single Putin Puffer will absolutely withhold their vote or write in Putin this year.

Shame.... /s

The outcome is known in Ukraine.

Did he say that Ukraine is important to the US?

That’s Nikki Haley speak, and Ukraine is going to bring palaces and more island homes to her family.

“But he also said Ukraine should survive.”

Ukraine survives by ending the war and accepting their partial defeat, as continuing will only lead to total defeat (or nuclear war).

What else could he say? Or supposed to say?

To hell with Ukraine!!!!?

Politicians are required to make political statements. He said that to head off hand-wringing by the likes of Morning Joe.

And who on Earth wants to see Ukraine utterly destroyed other than the democrats?
