Talking US policy in Central Europe with his donor's? Not NSC, Not State...just a bunch of donor's and fixer's and bagmen.

Why is Trump so interested in Ukraine anyway? Because Putin wants him to stand the US down with Ukraine and the EU to further his agenda. Trump is owned by the Putin Russian investors that bailed his failing ass. They are expecting payment now.

what is on the tape. If someone wanted the U.S. to stop supplying aid to Ukraine, and they surrounded the American President with people who can out-con the con, how would they do it? Could be it's not about the Ambassador or about Biden, but just clear sailing for Putin. Trump wouldn't need to know, at all.

Lev is still working for the Putin team? Supplying damning video's now that he knows will spread chaos and division in the US? Putin doesn't give a shit about Trump, but he most certainly has an interest in seeing the US divide into warring factions.

the guy appears as just a facilitator, looking to land a whale...and he just got caught up in something thru his associations with Russian big fish. I don't get what's damning on this new video. Guess I'm missing something.

Trump can't separate his interests from his donor bro's vs. the interests of this country. They are not mutually compatible.

The grandson of Jack Nicklaus was there

They also mock Kim Jung Ung’s Golf abilities

There is also someone there involved in US Steel manufacturing and they discuss the effect of tariffs

This is really fascinating to hear how IMPotus has basically been selling the White House and who decides things....
