MAGA Loses It After Trump's Sudden Flip on Ukraine Aid

MAGA Loses It After Trump’s Sudden Flip on Ukraine Aid (The New Republic)

Donald Trump announced Monday that the U.S. will send more weapons to Ukraine to combat Russia—making a lot of MAGA world livid.

Seemingly shifting his stance from days earlier, when the president halted certain weapons shipments to Ukraine, Trump told reporters, “We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now. They’re getting hit very hard. We’re going to have to send more weapons. Yeah, defensive weapons, primarily. But they’re getting hit very, very hard.”

To many MAGA Republicans who support Trump for his supposed “America First” foreign policy approach, the news was aggravating.

“I did not vote for this,” wrote Trump-pardoned January 6-er Derrick Evans. Natalie Danelishen, who works for a foundation that seeks to build upon Trump’s idea of “freedom cities,” echoed the sentiment, adding, “What the actual fuck?”

The few times he ever actually does is when he’s trying to reverse course after a blunder and/or the public pressure is too much even for him.

Of all the things to object to him over, they object over this.

The blow back from Europe aiding Ukraine more than likely has gotten to TACO Don.


He cannot stand being upstaged by other Leaders.
