Trump has a history of spreading Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories about Ukraine, influenced by wealthy Russians in South Florida.

Like I said in my @PostOpinions column today (https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL), Trump is not just pro-Russia. He's also anti-Ukraine. And he seems hellbent on delivering Putin a victory that Russian soldiers have not won on the battlefield. https://t.co/SyVFVbfa8i
Trump isnโt just pro-Russia. Heโs also anti-Ukraine writes @MaxBoot: "Trump has a long and troubling record of regurgitating Russian propaganda and airing deranged conspiracy theories about Ukraine" https://t.co/FAxjshkHHT
Trump isnโt just pro-Russia, @MaxBoot writes. Heโs also anti-Ukraine. https://t.co/OHNMPUzGeI
Seems Russia has been surrounding Trump with wealthy Russians, pushing the narrative that "Ukraine isn't a real country". Now, the dumbest presidential candidate in history believes it. https://t.co/fn9Ff6ItwY
Fiona Hill, the Russia expert on Trump's NSC, told me Trump has been marinating in a โprimordial soup of Russian propaganda.โ She said that Trump knew a lot of wealthy Russians in South Florida and they convinced him that โUkraine isnโt a real country.โ https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL
Trump became convinced by Giuliani and 2 of his shady associates that Ukraine was plotting against him. He embraced what US intelligence said was likely a Russian disinformation campaign blaming Ukraine, not Russia, for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL
Fiona Hill told me that Putin reinforced Trumpโs negative view of Ukraine. In general, the former KGB officer has been masterful in manipulating Trump by playing on his vanity. Trump is pathetically pleased anytime Putin compliments him. https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL
Giuliani and his shady, Soviet-born associates convinced Trump that Ukraine was plotting against him. During a May 23, 2019, White House meeting, Trump railed against Ukraine: โI donโt want any f---ing thing to do with Ukraine. They f---ing attacked me.โ https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL
Trump has a long and troubling record of regurgitating Russian propaganda and airing deranged conspiracy theories about Ukraine โ a country that Putin, like many Russians, views as a wayward province of Mother Russia. https://t.co/VN4fhgwihL
