1. Spread propaganda about Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election​

As early as 2017, Trump began voicing the conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 presidential election. This was one of the things Trump pressured Zelensky to “investigate” while withholding military aid.

2. Ousted the well-regarded U.S. ambassador to Ukraine​

Trump pushed out Marie Yovanovitch in 2019, after his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani mounted a smear campaign against her. Yovanovitch was perceived as disloyal to Trump.

3. Froze military assistance to Ukraine​

Well before extorting Zelensky, Trump alarmed officials by freezing military aid to Ukraine that Congress had appropriated, but without meaningful policy justification.

4. Withheld a White House meeting from Zelensky​

In 2019, Trump communicated in various ways to Zelensky that a much-sought-after White House meeting would be conditioned on doing his corrupt dirt-digging on Joe Biden.

5. Turned Ukraine policy over to Giuliani​

This was one of the most shocking subplots: Trump repeatedly instructed Zelensky to contact Giuliani to discuss what Zelensky would be required to do to please Trump. Giuliani’s circumvention of national security protocols deeply alarmed officials.

It wasn't corruption. It was all justified.

But you are correct. It WILL be years before this country recovers from the corruption of the globalists...their bought and paid for politicans...and the corruption within the entire US government. All three branches.

And how they are dreading having to deal with him after 2024...not to mention the non-globalist politicians who will be flooding Congress in 2022.

If Trump were president today, he would be cheering on the Russian army as they commit an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Trump would side with Putin against our NATO allies. Because that is what true American patriots should do. Isn't that right, Mycroft?
