'Both do what Putin wants': MTG slammed for sharing Trump post calling for Europe to match US Ukraine aid
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been actively opposing the United States funding Ukraine to aid in their war against Russia, shared a Truth Social post by Donald Trump to back her stance on X on Thursday, April 18.
The former president had called on European nations to support Ukraine and claimed that the war would not have taken place if he were president. Netizens, however, were not sold on the claims and trolled both Greene and Trump on the social media platform.

The US Representative from Georgia shared a screengrab of Trump's Truth Social post that read, "Why isn't Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!"
"Why can't Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need? As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us!" continued the presumptive GOP nominee.
"GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for "ME" and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!" he added.
Greene further wrote in her post, "Last week, President Trump said: KILL FISA. This week, he says this on Ukraine funding. And I agree, if President Trump was in the White House none of this would be happening."

"You guys kill me acting like Trump is some kind of 'world peace' negotiator. Trump would sell the U.S. to the highest bidder in a war," jibed a third.
