When the President said, during his campaign, that the U.S. might recognize Crimea as belonging to Russia and licked not only Putin's boots but his ass as well, the Ukrainians, who were at war with Russia, decided that maybe The Donald was not their friend and started writing some newspaper columns and such that weren't exactly complimentary. Then the President told Mulvaney not to release the money Congress appropriated for Javelins. And Then the President decided that the Ukrainians should demonstrate their love for him by cooking up a phoney investigation of the Bidens and announcing it publicly. He wasn't going to give them another dime until they publicly sucked up to him, and maybe not even then. Today we learned that had the Congress and Public not learned of the President's skulduggery and forced the President to release the Javelin money, it is likely they would not have got the money at all. At least not for many months. They were only two weeks away from catastrophe when the President, having been found out, was forced to release the funds. Ukrainians don't like the Donald. Shows very good judgement on their part, I would say.
Now just to illustrate the President's mental acuteness, or lack thereof, The Pres is going around saying it wasn't the Russians that interfered with the 2016 election, it was the Ukrainians. It's established fact that the Russian 2016 election disinformation campaign was heavily slanted in the President's favor and against Hillary. On the other hand, the Ukrainians said nice things about Hillary but hate Trump, who loves the Russians and their money. Looks like Trumps newest conspiracy theory is going to be a hard sell.
