From the transcript of the Zelensky/Trump/Vance meeting. Please note the last line spoken by Trump.
Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt ... All I can say is this. He might have broken deals with Obama and Bush, and he might have broken them with Biden. He did, maybe. Maybe he did. I don’t know what happened, but he didn’t break them with me. He wants to make a deal. I don’t know if you can make a deal.”
“The problem is I’ve empowered you (turning toward Zelenskyy) to be a tough guy, and I don’t think you’d be a tough guy without the United States. And your people are very brave. But you’re either going to make a deal or we’re out. And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty, but you’ll fight it out. But you don’t have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you’re in a much better position, but you’re not acting at all thankful. And that’s not a nice thing. I’ll be honest. That’s not a nice thing.
“All right, I think we’ve seen enough. What do you think? This is going to be great television. I will say that.”
So Trump sees himself and Putin as VICTIMS. Holy shit. But not from a 'phony witch hunt'. No. It is quite plain that Putin has been working to help Trump for years if not decades. He is our Manchurian candidate.
And Trump set this up to have 'great television'. He was never serious about helping Zelensky.
