Another possibility that explains the difference between the $174 billion the Biden reports and the $500 billion that Trump is demanding would be that Trump is being less than honest. Biden has told lies in his career, for sure, but so has Trump. In this case Trump has a clear motive for lying: he wants to please Putin by impoverishing Ukraine while at the same time enriching his cronies. For example, if Tesla started making more of its batteries in house the production costs of Tesla automobiles would plummet. Musk would benefit greatly by having a source of raw materials that he could use to ramp up battery production.

Andrew, you sound a little butt hurt. Most likely from your TDS syndrome, IMO.

I won’t deny it, but would like to point out that TDS goes both ways. Refusing to acknowledge his dishonesty and mercenary motives is as deranged as refusing to acknowledge whatever good he might do. Hopefully the shoe will be on the other foot in a couple of years.
