This might be the most unhinged thing he’s ever tweeted, and that’s saying something.
He’s flailing. Has no idea how to get out of this war cleanly. pic.twitter.com/EnQNiZx11T

Trump gave Europe and east Asia a recession, and inflation, and funded Putin to win in Ukraine, and closed down a logistical choke point of global importance for….nothing.
Anyone supporting this in Britain must be literally mad. pic.twitter.com/PPhxAIgjrq
