Analysis of Trump's Views on Ukraine

And what is your instinct of Donald Trump's thinking?

Because obviously we remember the famous bust up in the Oval Office, I think it was

February twenty-twenty four, shortly after Donald Trump returned to the

White House

and Donald Trump famously said to President Zelensky,

"You don't have any cards."

And then in recent months Ukraine's had some military successes with its

drones and Donald Trump sort of thinking that maybe Ukraine actually does have some

cards.

Um-

What do you think is going on in Donald Trump's mind?

He still remains pro-Russian basically.

It's one of these things that we've all been puzzling over.

He went to Moscow in the nineteen eighties when the Soviet Union

still existed and then he spent, you know, tens of thousands of dollars

taking out ads in The New York Times saying that NATO was to

blame for the Cold War standoff and that we shouldn't fund NATO they

were bleeding us dry. So he's been pro-Soviet

and then pro-Russian, you know, for decades and it's a, it's a

strange thing nobody really understands why uh, that happened but

it's a consistent theme. And I don't believe for a minute

that he's become

more sympathetic towards Ukraine.

Uh, he's frustrated because he thought the

Russians would actually defeat Ukraine

and he's unhappy that that hasn't forced them into a settlement

but,

but he's not switched sides
