Well if the GOP didn’t allow funding the corrupt oligarch government of Ukraine would have fallen just before the election and would have lead to everyone losing their mind in the mainstream media and blaming it on the GOP.
The key was to get concessions like border security in exchange for funding.
Or for the Trump approach border security AND increased European funding also.
Dear Erick: It doesn’t matter if Trump says something or not. They will make up stuff out of whole cloth. For example, see the many legal cases against him or the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA media refrain we heard for the first 3 years of his administration.
