Zelenskyy said Trump, at the summit with Putin, would achieve nothing without Ukraine. WRONG!
Trump would get his marching orders from Putin, as usual! Trump will never do anything Putin doesn’t want him to do. Remember the 2013 beauty contest in Moscow? Putin’s got Trump right where he wants him. Just ask Trump!
Read the book “House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia” by Craig Unger. It pretty well says it all.
