Lindsey Graham Crediting Trump for Ukraine Aid Passing Raises Eyebrows
Source: Newsweek
Remarks made by Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, on Sunday crediting former President Donald Trump for Ukraine aid funding has raised eyebrows on social media.
During an interview appearance on Fox News Sunday, Graham stated his approval for the House of Representatives approving more than $60 billion in aid to Ukraine to bolster its fight against Russia's invasion that began in February 2022. The bill designates approximately $10 billion of the Ukraine funding as repayable loans.
"There's a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker [Mike Johnson] and [Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries working together in a bipartisan fashion to give weapons to Ukraine to fight a fight that matters to us," Graham said. "And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road."

"We're looking at it right now, and they're talking about it, and we're thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift," Trump said during the media event with the House speaker. "We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we'll take a look at it."

Oh Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey -- how far you have come from "Donald Trump is a con man" to "Donald Trump is God's messenger."

but the Dems are not going to let that happen...I don't think Johnson did the "right thing" because he gives a damn about Ukraine..I think after his ass-kissing visit to Mar-A-Lago and promoting a bullshit election integrity bill, somehow he got it Trump is going to lose in November...

(10,273 posts)I saw some stuff from 2016 where he joked about getting more alcohol in the senate. And I saw him on Colbert or someone years ago when he still had a sense of humor and people said they thought he was lit up. But once he sold out to trump he has to try to cover his shame somehow.

The Linsey brand is soft and smells good. It has no fiber, like Linsey, and therefore it tears easily and gets ...uh, messy.
Well, that's what I imagine.

Ah Lindsey, Trump is no longer part of the Government that creates programs. He had zero authority to
do anything let alone create a loan package component to be part of US foreign policy.
WTF did Trump show Lindsey on that Columbus Day golf outing?

He really could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state.
This, Sanger writes, meant Trumps view of Ukraine was essentially identical to that of Vladimir Putin..

(8,930 posts)It is widely known that Trump didnt want Ukraine to get military aid or for Biden to have any legislative wins. So Trump lost control of half his House sheep and then suddenly tells Lindsey to go on TV and give Trump credit for the House bills passage? Thats a lie that doesnt make any sense at all. What kind of flip flop are they trying to pull with this new lie? Did Trump just roll all the the Republicans who voted nay under the bus?
