Schumer says he has 'great fear' Trump will 'cave' to Putin

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he has a “great fear” that President Trump will “cave” to Russian President Vladimir Putin over ending the war in Ukraine.



He noted that it would also be bad for the Western societies who have rallied behind Ukraine against Putin because it would “undercut” the United States’s alliances.

The New York Democrat said the third thing, and “worst of all,” if Trump caves to Putin over ending the war, it will send a dangerous signal to dictators across the world.

“It sends a signal to every dictator in China, in North Korea, in Iran, that if you stand up and bully Trump, you’re going to get your way,” Schumer said.

Of course he will cave to Putin. Dems need to start planning what the messaging will be when it happens cause Trump will spin it like it’s great for America.
