Why did Trump post the comment, "Vladimir, STOP!"

It was interesting because it is the first time in ten years that he has criticized Putin to that degree. Since he is not a trustworthy person, one must ask "Why"? There must be some ulterior motive.

In my opinion, he is pretending to criticize Putin and it may have something to do with Elon Musk and his arguments with others in the White House the other day? And the reports that he passed to the Russians top secret information? We do not know what that information might have been?

But, my hunch is that Donald Trump may have been somewhat compromised by the "secret" information?

But it is only a hunch from curiosity about why Trump would tell Putin to "Stop!"

It just seems unusual.

He has never criticized Putin to that extent, even in a tweet.

Benedict the Orange Dugong knows he’s a total fraud and fears the rubes of MAGA will find out.

He knows when they do, his end will not be nice.

Putin sent trump a painting and maybe some love letters and who knows what else. trump was falsely saying for Putin to stop, even though he wants Putin to keep sending those things. It had nothing to do with Ukraine.
