We are burning bridges as fast as we can find them. You know, the issue here is that I think what ultimately offended Trump is he has a slogan of make America great, make America strong. And Zelensky is pointing out by siding with Russia that actually the U.S. is in danger. Completely 100% valid point.

But it burst the bubble of Trump being the strong man and Trump making us more safe and more prosperous. That was an absolutely honest assessment from Zelensky. He knows what he's talking about. And I think the fact is that other allies now look at what happened with the U.S. going so hard in for Putin and abandoning our allies that we are completely unreliable. I hope I'm wrong.

I unfortunately tend to be right about these things. And it makes me sick that I see this train wreck unfolding. But I think we're burning bridges and we're creating opportunities for our enemies. And it is putting our troops in danger. It is making this country weaker. And we have to, at this point, we just have to weather the storm and come back.

try to institute some accountability, you know, with our elections in the future and try to rein in these knuckleheads and get rid of, you know, folks like Lindsey Graham and all these yes men that embolden and, you know, pander to Trump and drive them to make the worst decisions that I've seen thus far, frankly.

I may have already passed this to some folks, but the bottom line is that this was highly cinematic. Zelensky looked very strong. You know, Trump could spin it as if as he stood his ground. Also, I think what this really there's an opportunity here. You know, he they're on the cusp of a big deal, a big real estate deal. Both parties kind of walk away from the negotiation.

There's an opportunity to bring folks together and do a handshake at the end of this thing that looks really good for TV. And if it means that Ukraine could keep the U.S. on side a little bit longer, I mean, it might be just a little bit longer because the fact is that you could see the orientation of Trump consistently.

If they could keep him on a little bit longer, give the Ukrainians additional support and the Europeans step up, that is a pragmatic step. I'm not going to stand in the way of pragmatism. But if we could, again, keep the U.S. from siding with Putin, easing sanctions, there might be some sort of play here. This deal, this minerals deal, was not a bad thing.
