There are definitely some people who will never view Trump negatively. I love
Trump, but this is a big chunk of BS to swallow. He's so tough about everything ("Let's colonize Gaza!") so why does he puss out on Ukraine after a conversation with "Mr Innocent?"

Exactly. I like Ron's optimism about it but it's not sitting well. We knew Trump was exaggerating when he said "I'll end that conflict before I even take office" but continuing to fund Ukraine's military is literally the opposite of what we anticipated.

I suspect, and I hope, that Trump is just running his mouth, and that he ultimately won't mean some of these things that he's saying.
