Schumer: It Would Be a Moral Tragedy to Undercut Zelenskyy, but I Believe ‘Trump Is Headed in That Direction’

‘How is Europe going to trust us ever again if Trump backs out?’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: "Well, look, my great fear, Dana, is that Trump will just cave into Putin. That‘s been the overall indications. All along. And of. Course. The bottom. Line is. Very simple. That if we cave to Putin, if Trump caves in to Putin. It‘s three. It‘s bad in three very bad ways. Number one. To just abandon Ukraine after all the sacrifice that they made, after so much loss of life and with the rallying of the whole west against Putin. It would just be a moral tragedy to undercut Zelenskyy. Which we I believe Trump is headed in that direction. Second, it asunder us, our tears asunder our alliances with Europe. The Europeans have stood up for us. The whole west has stood up for us. They‘ve put in money. They‘ve used all kinds of. Diplomatic and economic tools to back us. And how is Europe going to trust us ever again if Trump backs out? But third. And maybe. Worst of all, it‘s a sign that the United States is weak. It‘s it sends a signal to every dictator in China, in North Korea, in Iran, that if you stand up and bully Trump, you‘re going to get your way. So I am very worried about where he is headed. I think that he. Is in a position where he feels he can sell out Zelenskyy. He‘s sort of saying yes one day, no the next day. But overall, the trend is very, very bad."
