In a post on X, Trump Jr. questioned why Kyiv failed to disclose what hedescribed as an effort by a suspect to procure military-grade weapons totarget his father. “The fact that they never told us this lunatic was trying tobuy weapons from them to kill my father seems like a much bigger problem. Iwonder why?” he wrote.
If you think it’s bad that Ukraine never said thank you for everything the United States has done for them, the fact that they seemingly did not tell us that this sociopath literally tried to buy arms from them to assassinate my father seems like a much bigger deal.
