I genuinely appreciate how much effort you put in to answering even a single question I posed.

Judging by supporters' comments on Reddit's AskTrumpSupporters subreddit, the majority of his proponents believe comments such as these to be hilarious since they "trigger the libs".

In my opinion it is absolutely indefensible for the President of the United States to behave in such a careless, crass manner, but then again, that's just par for the course in regard to this presidency.

EDIT: I will clarify that the majority of supporters who are aware of statements such as these (and active on social media) appear to defend them by suggesting it's all somehow funny. I genuinely believe the majority of his support base is willfully unaware of how often Trump has made similar statements or simply apathetic since he's "on their side".

Exactly what was the point of holding up aid to Ukraine?

Was it to fight corruption? That's certainly a lark, considering Trump has systematically attempted to cut funding to anti-corruption programs across the world.

Furthermore, the United States Department of Defense twice certified Ukraine (during Trump's tenure as POTUS, one of those certifications occurring just months prior to Trump personally ordering the aid to be withheld) as to having taken sufficiently "substantial actions to decrease corruption, increase accountability, and sustained improved capability enabled by U.S. assistance."

Then in a call, immediately after Zelinsky brought up military aid, Trump asserts "he would like a favor though", and brings up the debunked Crowdstrike server rumor as well as stating, "there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great.”

So... President Trump, fearing "corruption" in Ukraine, makes U.S. aid contingent upon "reciproc[ity]" (mentioned early in the memorandum of the call) by a supposedly corrupt government, and asks for this aforementioned corrupt government to investigate the son of a prominent political opponent? That seems like a legitimate apolitical action of the President of the United States in your opinion? Absolutely none of that screams manipulating U.S. foreign policy for personal (political) gain?

@davillain-:

Yeah... I just don't believe those are your weapons. You've posted the exact same picture 3 times over the past year or so, called both ARs "Assault Rifles", one of which you claim is "Russian", and called (what look to be Glocks) "clock guns".

I refuse to believe anyone who's spent at least upwards of $2000 (without including the cost of the optics) would only have one picture, fail to EVER mention the specifics of the weapons, and continuously "thank the Russians" for weapons which aren't even Russian.

The three cities it determined were all about thirty minutes away from me. I'd say the test is pretty freakin' accurate overall.

Poor Ashleys.

The fact that it captures in the form of metaphor the stark, cynical pain of growing old and becoming an unwitting burden to your family?Makhaidos
