Donald Trump made clear that his personal grudge with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky hasn’t abated during a phone interview with NBC News.

Speaking with Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, the president knocked Zelensky for offering assistance to the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, the latter of which the Ukrainian president said on Friday were seeking his aid in sharing drone detection technology.

The “last person we need help from is Zelensky,” Trump told Welker.

      My Trump is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star!

      Wait just a minute.

      Just because everything he says and does is intended to benefit his Russian masters, it doesnt mean he’s a Russian asset

          Because Israel did.

          Because the war actually benefits Russia as it gives Trump an excuse to lift sanctions.

          Because his advisors convinced him it was a good idea.

          Trump is narcissistic and mercurial. He will change his mind depending on his mood and opinion about the person whispering in his ear

          In the case of Putin, one minute he is openly admiring him, the next he is criticising him. Then he’s back to appeasing him again. Like with the lifting of sanctions.

            Because the war actually benefits Russia as it gives Trump an excuse to lift sanctions.

            And it drives up the oil price, which also benefits Russia.

            Once you realize how thoroughly Trump is Putin’s bitch, it all makes sense.
