Marc Thiessen: Russia Has Lost the War Due to US-Ukraine Minerals Deal

Hakeem Jeffries' Criticism of Trump's First 100 Days

• 🗣️ House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries characterized Donald Trump's first 100 days as a period of chaos, cruelty, and corrupt behavior, calling it a recipe for disaster.
• 🎯 Jeffries claimed no president has failed as spectacularly or as quickly as Donald Trump.

Counterarguments on Trump's Performance

• 💡 Marc Thiessen disputes Jeffries' assessment, highlighting immigration policy and Trump's use of executive powers to shut down the border as evidence of successful campaigning and execution.
• ⏳ Thiessen contrasts Trump's 100 days with the preceding 1400 days of the Biden administration, citing issues like worst inflation in 40 years, record gas prices, a crime wave, a border crisis, and the Afghanistan foreign policy debacle.

The US-Ukraine Minerals Deal and its Implications

• 🤝 Thiessen argues that the US-Ukraine minerals deal, negotiated by Donald Trump, signifies that Russia has lost the war.
• 🇺🇸 This deal demonstrates the United States' literal investment in a free and sovereign Ukraine, signaling a partnership in minerals, infrastructure, and hydrocarbons.
• 💰 The deal ensures that the US will be repaid for weapons provided to Ukraine, as Putin would not repay these debts if he took over the country.
• ✅ Thiessen views this as a great deal, contrasting it with the previous administration's spending and emphasizing Trump's focus on how American money is being spent.
