Subject: Re: Deal framework for Ukraine/Russia
Welp, this is where having a credible media comes into play, not doesn’t it?

We'll see. There's a ton of conservative leaning media like Fox News or NewsMax, which make up a lot of the media diet of Trump's base and are considered credible by them. If they are accurate and forthcoming in reporting Trump's proposal as being one that the Ukrainians were right to reject, then we might indeed see his base react differently than what I wrote. They'll have the chance to do the right thing, and to call BS on this Administration, as you describe.

Somehow, I think that's unlikely. But again, we'll see.
