“For the American truckers and farmers Trump claims to be serving, the deal means little or nothing. Trump may not know or may not care that his latest gambit will not reduce diesel prices,” Frum wrote. Frum himself has done little to hide his open disdain for the president, going so far as to try and victim-blame Trump for nearly being assassinated in Butler two years ago. Nor has Frum tried to hide his bloodthirst for war, gloating in a National Review article that people who questioned the invasion of Iraq in the days after its launch were antisemites “yearning for defeat.”

For war-ravaged Ukraine, it is the most outrageous and heartless Trump betrayal to date. For Trump’s entourage, the deal promises corruption opportunities on a multibillion-dollar scale,” he continued.

Frum goes on to provide readers with a familiar framework for understanding the announcement: Nancy Pelosi’s baseless accusation that, with Trump, “all roads lead to Putin.”
