Trump promised to end Putin's war in Ukraine in a day. Instead, he has made concession after concession to Putin, getting nothing concrete in return. I now think Ukrainians would have been better off if Trump had done absolutely nothing. THREAD. 1/

Trump has not helped end the war in Ukraine. He has prolonged it. In doing so, he has sided with autocratic Russia and against democratic Ukraine. That pivot has further undermined America’s reputation as the 'leader of the free world'.
