Graham: Ukraine Aid ‘Would Not Have Passed Without Donald Trump’
Breitbart ^ | 04/21/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/21/2024 10:54:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on this week’s broadcast on “Fox News Sunday” that Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) aid package that included for Ukraine would not have passed the House without help from former President Donald Trump.

Graham said, “The Ukrainian military, with our help, has killed about 50% of the combat power of the Russians. This is the year of more. They’re going to have more weapons, but we also want them to have new weapons, ATACMS to knock the bride down between Crimea and Russia. They are going to have F-16s. So, this idea give up on Ukraine makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine cause you don’t have enough capability. There goes Taiwan.”

Total nonsense. Trump hasn’t once wavered on thr border in almost 10 years. Not one time. He’s basically the only person who can be trusted on the border. As a matter of fact, if Trump somehow manages to win the election and gets to serve as President again i think it’s quite likely that in a year from now he’ll be fighting his own party on border and deportation issues. No way is anyone in government (with any real power) going to setup a glide path for Trump’s border policy. What you sre hearing from the Repukes right now is all BS because they know they don’t have to do anything.

You need to read more carefully. Trump has wavered on the border--so many points... whole border, then portion, then Mexico pay for it, etc. Now, in this campaign he says only 200 more miles needed to finish it. Seriously?!

And deportation, he didn't deport many. Excuses aside, people were let in, few deported. A lot of the problem is that he picked bad people, who didn't follow-through with instructions. His daughter, if I recall correctly, felt sorry for the illegal aliens and at one point that caused him to make a change of course. Anyway, goals evolved, promises make, some not kept. Take his point of cutting off countries that wouldn't take back deportees, such as India and China. End of day he didn't. And H1B, he sustained it, even increased it, and waved them going home during COVID. Bottom line, we need clarity and in the words of Reagan, Trust but verify.

What do you hope to gain by this endless series of negative posts about
Trump? Are you delusional enough to think DeSantis still has a chance at the
Convention, or are you simply trying to discourage enough right leaning
voters to stay home and let Biden slip in again?

Either way it’s a big loss for the nation.

Trump is going to be the nominee.

It’s going to be Trump or Biden.

It’s all too clear who you think would be best. Why are you even here?
You’re certainly not serving our cause.

Maybe Reno believes that all DeSantis voters in the primary hate Trump. Or Trump won’t be on the ballot. Or he just wants attention.

Disingenuous at best. Trump’s threat to those who didn’t take back deportees was just that; A threat. They were cooperative and he didnt. That was south and centr America. Not India. While i wish he was tougher with Visas that was Congress passing veto proof crap which they always do when it’s not something the people want. Trump had to fight for every mile of the border wall. He put it where it was needed THEN he said he would extend it 200 more miles because the traffic was routed. Trump’s border was better than Bush, Obama and Biden because he tried, against all the pieces of trash in congress, to make it a border. I want him to be tougher still on the border and hopefully since much has already worked its way through the courts he can move faster. The Rats and Repukes used the courts to block the policy as much as they could during his first term. I. Sure they’ll do it again. He’ll be fighting them again in a year if we are so lucky.Bottom line, Trump agrees with the people on the border and that alone will be a major benefit. Btw ,Trump kept the government shut to build more wall and the Repukes, couldn’t get on CNN fast enough to say it wasn’t a reason to keep the government shut down.

What do you hope to gain by sticking your head in the sand? We need to keep pushing, even with Trump, otherwise we settle on the results. Trump needs to know that voters want a full border, not just a mere 200 miles more; that we want deportees deported; that we want promises like cutting off countries that don't take them bac, kept. That we want H1B ended. Otherwise, these are passing ideas, never addressed.

Look at Ukraine and border funding. Ukraine aid and Ukraine border was never what most of us wanted.

Trump can't win if he gives up on and doesn't keep promises.

India and China thumbed their noses at the US. We did nothing. Now, we see continuing and increasing the invasion. Will anything change?

Nothing? I remember a year and a half of complaints about heavy tariffs on both. The congress was also begging to removing negotiating power from the President by trying to prvent him from levying tariffs. It’s hilarious to hear people say Trump was too soft on China when for 4 years I listened to the opposite Argument from every virmin in congress. Cry me a river. Want Trump to be even tougher give him evem more power to wield tariffs quickly and stop taking his administration to court for every decision he makes that goes against globalist intrest.

It takes him (1) knowing what we expect, (2) Trump agreeing, and (3) MOST IMPORTANT, Trump picking good people to accomplish it. We saw in Trump 1.0 that EOs didn’t mean staff did what they were directed and it was undone when he left. That we cannot afford again.

Trump is the nominee whether you like it or not. The time to trash him is over. Sometimes Trump says things that come out different than how we would phrase them. That is very well known about Trump. Just deal with it.

You don’t have to happy over every thing about him, but he needs to win this election, so arguing against him only serves Joe Biden a this point.

How old are you, 12? We endured a lot of awful GOP people before we got Trump. The Bushes, McCain, Romney. Although Trump is not perfect, he is by far better than any of them. We understand Trump more than you know.

Yes, we do understand Trump, but who will be the most surprised out of that?

I was told that Russia, along with China and Iran, were an Axis of Evil against America. With them helping Russia with stuff, there is no hope for Ukraine to outlast Russia in this War of Attrition.
