Lindsey Graham Crediting Trump For Ukraine Aid Passing Raises Eyebrows

Newsweek:

“There’s a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker [Mike Johnson] and [Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries working together in a bipartisan fashion to give weapons to Ukraine to fight a fight that matters to us,” Graham said. “And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road.”

Earlier this month, Johnson visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago where the former president expressed support for structuring some Ukraine aid as a loan.

“We’re looking at it right now, and they’re talking about it, and we’re thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift,” Trump said during the media event with the House speaker. “We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we’ll take a look at it.”

Earlier this year on the campaign trail and on his Truth Social social media platform, Trump advocated for loans as Ukraine’s primary form of foreign aid.

Structuring our foreign aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan is just as dumb as structuring it in the form of a gift. The longer we keep our stupid War in Ukraine going, the less territory and population there will be for the post-war, dysfunctional Ukrainian rump state to control and tax. If we keep the war going too long, there will be no Ukraine left. Who is going to repay these idiotic loans?

The war needs to end right now. The fact that President Trump could be talked into taking any other position just goes to show that he too is garbage. He is not playing 4D chess, he is not helping the people; he is helping the politicians, the banksters, the war profiteers, and the Globalists.

This is not news. After all, President Trump is the one who first started loading up Ukraine with weapons, so that the Establishment can follow through on their plan to transform Ukraine into a NATO battering ram with which to menace, threaten, destabilize, and eventually control Russia. President Trump did not keep us out of a mess in Ukraine, he put us in one. And, just as President Biden defies Congress in order to sponsor genocide and foreign wars which do not advance our interests, President Trump did it too.

So vote for whoever you want this year–it will not matter.
