This just shows how sports minded all this bullshit is. If Pence was still Trumps VP, he'd currently be tweeting "Oh, all praise our leader!"
But because he had a falling out, he find himself saying things that will fall on the right side of history. Not because he's a genuinely good person, but because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Didn't hear Pence speaking out in 2019 when Trump was president, and was trying to extort Zelenskyy into blackmailing Hunter Biden. Pence didn't say a word.
So he can shut the fuck up. He's not wrong in what he's saying, but HE can shut the fuck up.
Surprisingly, people from Shapiro to Fox News seem to be pretty annoyed by Trump making that claim.
To be fair, this would hurt weapons dealers bottom line, so maybe not that surprising. That billions in aid go somewhere, and that somewhere is the military complex a lot of the conservative donors get their wealth. Just, in this case, it's for someone getting invaded so most people are cool with this one.
This is the thing I don't quite get. The "donations" to Ukraine (just like the ones to Israel) are just one huge tax funded subsidy to the defense contractors. You'd think Trump would be on board with that. Wonder why not.
