The Zelenskyy Trump Vance exchange was awful, embarrassing, and highly concerning. I have zero desire to live under authoritarian rule, and I’m terrified America has forever been changed by the lack of checks and balances with this admin that our vote in 2 years won’t matter. Is this really what Trump voters wanted to be besties with Putin and Russia? I’m doing the next needed thing when I can but how do we really fight back? I fear it’s tyranny or revolution.

I share your fears and concerns. I read a post yesterday sharing the views of a Trump supporter. He believes Trump is being diplomatic and is trying to avoid World War III. That he’s only siding with Putin “on the surface” to get the deal he thinks is best (and that will give the US access to mineral rights in Ukraine).

If this is true, then at best, he’s playing a dangerous game and continuing a tradition of America playing the white savior taking natural resources as payment.

I personally don’t think that argument makes sense, but when a person gives Trump the benefit of the doubt in every situation and truly believes he’s a brilliant businessman, these are the types of conclusions you come to.
