"Trump is rubbish. He's just an insanely bad politician... He's destroying the economy... and he's letting the foot off the neck of the Russian economy and not looking to see Russia and Putin as morally culpable in the war in Ukraine and seeks to blame the war on Biden and Zelensky routinely."
Hello Team
🎦 00:00-00:47⏩
- Jonathan welcomes the team to a breaking news update.
- He explains this is a re-upload as he had recorded three videos previously, only to find his sound setup was ruined.
- He humorously blames one of his twin sons who, after having his internet turned off for playing games past midnight, unplugged Jonathan's equipment downstairs.
Trump's Initial Blame: Zelensky and Biden 'Allowed' the War
🎦 00:49-02:06⏩
- Jonathan refers to comments Trump made the previous night, which he covered in a breaking news update then.
- Trump reportedly blamed President Zelensky and "Crooked Joe Biden" for "allowing this travesty [the war] to begin."
- Jonathan finds this bizarre, questioning how Zelensky could not allow it to happen other than by not defending his country.
- He argues that while one can discuss the political lead-up, blaming Zelensky for being invaded is wrong.
- The options were to repel the invaders (which Ukraine did) or capitulate. Assigning moral culpability to Zelensky is "horrific".
Trump Escalates: Zelensky 'Started the War' and shouldn't expect missiles
🎦 02:07-03:15⏩
- Jonathan introduces further "abject nonsense" from Trump regarding Zelensky's requests for Patriot missile batteries.
- Trump is quoted saying: "He's always looking to purchase missiles... Listen, when you start a war, you've got to know that you can win the war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."
- Jonathan expresses disbelief, pointing out the absurdity of criticising a nation for wanting to purchase defensive missiles, which also benefits the seller's defence industry.
- He highlights the core, "wholly bizarre" claim that Zelensky started the war. Jonathan finds this assertion "wrong, wrong, wrong" and potentially "evil".
Edward Hunter Christie Calls for Public Condemnation of Trump's Remarks
🎦 03:15-04:11⏩
- Jonathan cites Edward Hunter Christie (whom he recently interviewed) reacting to Trump's statements.
- Christie believes Trump's comments need to be publicly condemned by European leaders, even if it's politically difficult.
- He argues they must state clearly that Trump is wrongheaded and reiterate support for Ukraine.
- Christie describes Trump's stance as "pro-Moscow prostitution" and suggests he needs to be publicly corrected until he "does something so stupid it leads to his downfall". Jonathan agrees with this sentiment.
Trump's Contradiction: 'Everybody's to Blame', Including Putin
🎦 04:11-04:42⏩
- Jonathan presents another quote from Trump exhibiting "absolute insanity".
- Trump reportedly said: "But that's a war that should have never been allowed to start, and Biden could have stopped it, and Zelensky could have stopped it, and Putin should have never started it. Everybody's to blame."
- Jonathan notes the shift to include Putin, but still heavily implies Biden and Zelensky could have prevented the war.
Refuting Trump: How Could Zelensky Have 'Stopped' the War?
🎦 04:42-05:42⏩
- Jonathan challenges Trump's assertion that Zelensky could have stopped the war.
- He posits the only ways Zelensky could have acted were:
- Heroically repel the Russians (which he and Ukraine did).
- Surrender.
- Jonathan suggests Trump might be implying Zelensky should have negotiated by giving up territory ("okay, you can have these five areas..."), which Jonathan equates to surrender and giving Putin what he wants.
- He concludes Trump is "totally wrong on everything he says" and expresses bafflement at his political support, calling him a "muppet" concerning geopolitics.
Further Trump Quotes (via Euromaidan Press): Millions Died Because of Putin, Biden, and Zelensky
🎦 05:42-07:49⏩
- Jonathan shares more details reported by Euromaidan Press.
- Trump apparently added that "millions of people died because of three people: Let's say Putin, number one, but let's say Biden, who had no idea what the hell he was doing, number two, and Zelensky."
- Jonathan dissects the progression of Trump's statements:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- Jonathan interprets Trump's overall message as advocating that Zelensky should have surrendered immediately, which implies surrender is the correct response to invasion.
- He sees the focus consistently shifted away from Putin, despite the "number one" mention.
Shashank Joshi (The Economist) Calls Trump's Comments 'Repugnant'
🎦 07:49-08:15⏩
- Jonathan quotes Shashank Joshi from The Economist, who described Trump's comments as "absolutely repugnant".
- Joshi highlights that Trump repeated the "libel that Zelensky started a war" and mocked him ("He's always looking to purchase missiles").
- Jonathan reiterates that of course Zelensky is looking to purchase missiles – he's defending his nation.
Trump Questions Zelensky's Competence, Claims Putin Wouldn't Have Invaded Under Him (via MAKS24)
🎦 08:15-08:47⏩
- Jonathan shares another quote attributed to Trump via MAKS24:
- "I don't know if Zelensky is competent. We had a tough conversation with this guy here. He kept asking for more."
- "If you look at Putin, I'm not saying that everyone is an angel, but in my four years, even such a question has never arisen. He would never have started a war against Ukraine."
- Jonathan points out the direct contradiction: Trump previously named Putin as number one responsible for starting the war, but now claims Putin would never have started it (presumably if Trump were president).
Jonathan's Analysis: Trump's 'Hot Mess' of Biased and Terrible Geopolitics
🎦 08:48-10:30⏩
- Jonathan concludes Trump's statements are "chaos", a "hot mess of thinking, half-formed ideas".
- He believes Trump's views stem from personal animosity towards Biden and Zelensky (linking back to the 2019 impeachment) and a liking for Putin.
- This personal baggage makes Trump's geopolitical assessments "terrible" and "completely coloured".
- Jonathan strongly condemns Trump as "rubbish", an "insanely bad politician", not a good president, someone destroying the US economy, starting trade wars, and letting Russia off the hook.
- He asserts Trump consistently fails to see Putin/Russia as morally culpable, instead blaming Biden and Zelensky. When Putin is mentioned, it's treated as secondary.
- Jonathan calls Trump a "terrible leader" based on his own words and states that agreeing with Trump's assessment here aligns one with the Russian position, making dialogue difficult.
Wrap up
🎦 10:31-10:35⏩
- Jonathan apologises again for the earlier audio mess-up.
- He notes wryly that it means more work for him.
