How can one feel betrayed by a lying conman who has never once told the truth or held to an agreement?

Completely agree. I think Zelenskyy knows who he's dealing with by now. I suspect his real audience is Congress and our allies, not Trump.

Of course it is. The Russian diesel deal, limiting intelligence sharing with Ukraine - Whose side is Trump on?

If you're voting "not justified," what would Trump need to actually do differently before betrayal becomes the right word for you?
