People think Trump accidentally

During an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump claimed he made significantly more money during a trip to Abu Dhabi than the amount the U.S. has spent on supporting Ukraine. Trump asserted he earned “12 times” the supposed \$350 billion sent to Ukraine in just four days, although official estimates place U.S. aid between \$119.7 billion and \$182.8 billion. Trump made these remarks while discussing his calls for a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has continued to ignore despite Trump’s previous threats of further sanctions.

Trump’s comments sparked online backlash, with many questioning his figures and motives. Critics accused him of deflecting from the topic of Ukraine by boasting about personal earnings. Social media users also pointed out that Trump’s statements seemed contradictory, with some suggesting he confused potential Middle Eastern investments with actual government spending on Ukraine. Others noted that Trump’s stance on Ukraine remains unclear, especially given his reluctance to confront Putin directly.
