The day before the New Hampshire Primary this year, Donald Trump Jr. haughtily assured an assembled crowd that with his father back in charge, no longer would they have to worry about sending off endless billions to the corrupt sinkhole that is Ukraine. “Would you love to continue to mortgage your children’s, your family’s, well-being and future,” Junior asked the crowd, just “to give more stuff” to the newly ascendant class of self-dealing Ukrainian oligarchs? For anyone who found such a prospect unappealing, Junior strongly advised, the solution was of course to vote for Don Senior again. This would “send a message to Washington, DC,” which he reported was shamefully getting ready to “send another $60 billion to Ukraine.”
