"I WANT IT."

That's his "justification."

Trump desperately wanted to play "mediator" between Putin and Zelensky, but he had NOTHING to work with beyond "LOOK, man...if you just give Putin everything he wants, he'll STOP MURDERING YOUR PEOPLE. Just give him EVERYTHING he WANTS and this will all be OVER."

As I have said many times, Trump is the rotten little spoiled brat, like Musk's kid, who stood there in the Oval Office, picked his nose, and wiped it on Trump's desk.

And you CANNOT "reason" with a kid like that. You either discipline them or stand back and watch the carnage.

And the issue with "disciplining" a kid is that you can't just pick a day of the week and decide you're going to "set a precedent."

If they have been ALLOWED to GET AWAY WITH IT, they'll have only one mission in life...to KEEP getting away with more, and more, and MORE.

That's Trump.
