We said that Trump would not be able to end the war in Ukraine quickly and easily like he claimed.
We said he would never sanction or punish Putin for aggression.
We said he would weaken NATO.
Republicans in Congress assured us that would not be the case.

Trump’s Agenda is:
1. Leveraging politics to exponentially increase his net worth since 2016, which he has accomplished.
2. Deporting migrants who don’t work for Republican-owned businesses.
3. Cutting taxes & regs for billionaires.
4. Getting revenge on his enemies.

"In the event of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in kind," Putin had said, warning Western leaders attempting to band together against Moscow to "seriously think about this."
This means Putin knows he's fucked if we continue to support Ukraine.
