Mary Trump Substack The Good In Us

https://open.substack.com/pub/marytrump/p/the-buck-stops-somewhere-else?r=33ssy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

snip of article:
In the Oval Office on Sunday, Donald had a meltdown—also known in common parlance as a temper tantrum—after President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on 60 Minutes.

When a reporter informed Donald that Zelensky had offered to buy more missiles, Donald blatantly lied about the origins of the war in Ukraine:

Donald: He's always looking to purchase missiles, you know... Listen, when you start a war you got to know that you can win the war, right? You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles, okay?"

I want to stop for a second and be clear about what actually happened. Russia—formerly our enemy—illegally invaded Ukraine—formerly our ally. The false narrative Donald continues to spin—the lie that Ukraine was in any way the aggressor in this conflict--diminishes Ukraine’s postion and strengthens Russia’s, which is the diametric opposite of what the United States should be doing.

Read remaining story very interesting.

Last night's 60 Minutes broadcast featured news about a massive Russian attack on Ukrainian civilians in Kryvyi Rih on Friday, April 5, and the interview was released before an even deadlier attack in Sumi on Palm Sunday— a high holy day for people, even in America, who profess to be Christians.
