Donald Trump Jr serves no formal role in the Donald Trump administration but his strong take on the Russia-Ukraine issue at the Doha Forum sent a chilling warning of what is going to happen inevitably -- his father President Donald Trump would abandon Ukraine if they don't make peace with Russia.
Slamming Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelenskyy for prolonging the war to remain in power, Trump's eldest son said there is no way Zelenskyy would win the next election and the war is being dragged on while the corrupt elites have all moved to Monaco leaving the 'peasants' in the country to fight the war.
“Because of the war, and because he’s one of the great marketers of all times, Zelenskyy became a borderline deity, especially to the left, where he could do no wrong, he was beyond reproach,” Trump Jr said.
"I think he may," Trump Jr said when he was asked if Donald Trump would walk away from Ukraine.
“What’s good about my father, and what’s unique about my father, is you don’t know what he’s going to do,” he added. “The fact that he’s not predictable … forces everyone to actually deal in an intellectually honest capacity.”
"This summer I was in Monaco with my beautiful girlfriend, we were driving around the city, and on a typical day 50% of the supercars — Bugatti, Ferrari, that's all — were on Ukrainian plates. Do we really think that all this was honestly earned in Ukraine?" Trump Jr said, explaining how the rich Ukrainians have left the country.
There is no incentive to stop the war as the money trains have not stopped, Trump's son said.
Americans have no appetite for writing blank checks for Ukraine or EU, Donald Trump Jr said, adding that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not even a top 10 issue for Republicans, notwithstanding what the Republican Party says. "No different than Putin. It wasn't the son of oligarchs fighting the war; it's someone from Siberia that they are sending there," Trump Jr said, adding that neither Putin nor Zelenskyy has any reason to come to the discussion table.
