Trump as Corruption Fighter

Trump's big focus: Ukraine

The president was just "trying to be a good steward of US dollars." 

So claimed Steve Castor, the Republican counsel allowed to interview EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland after the main portion of today's impeachment hearings.  

That's why dt delayed delivering military aid to Ukraine.

He cared so much about stopping corruption in Ukraine that he needed to check out Volodimir Zelensky, the new president, for 55 days--holding up the Javelin missiles Ukraine needed to hold back the Russian army.

Of course, dt doesn't mind corruption in Saudi Arabia, where the assassination of a journalist was planned and then executed in Istanbul.  The Jamal Khashoggi death doesn't prevent our prez from selling arms to the Saudis.

Syrian corruption doesn't bother him--Bashar al-Assad can kill as many of his own citizens as he wants.

It's just Ukraine where dt cares about corruption.  

In fact, he doesn't care about run-of-the-mill corruption there, just corruption related to his rival in the 2020 presidential race, Joe Biden.

Oh, and the possible corruption that Vladimir Putin claims happened in Ukraine in during the 2016 presidential election.  dt is still focused on proving the authenticity of his victory three years ago, so focused that he needs to hold up the aid to Ukraine appropriated by Congress.

So now you have the truth as dt's supporters see it: the prez was just trying to make sure taxpayer dollars didn't go to an undeserving nation.

Obeying Putin had nothing to do with it.  He just happened to adopt the story Putin has proposed, the story that Ukraine--not Russia--interfered in the 2016 election.
