Trump’s Moral Inversion

Trump requires Ukraine to sell mineral rights for US arms. Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against imperial Moscow, the arch enemy of the free world, and Trump wants Ukraine to pay, to sell its future, for arms now, as if their blood was not enough. Trump’s transactional morality is suspect, as it’s not about doing the right moral thing, but what profits could be had for the USA.

Being better than the progressives is not the same as being morally better. Pretentious conservatives, the MAGA block, is better but not morally superior, especially when following Trump, who is neither liberal or conservative, progressive or pretender, at the leadership level, but a transactional centrist trying to always get the best deal he can for the USA.

He is what he is, trying to do the best for the USA as he sees it.
