  1. A couple of things, people always made the comparison, as far as being outsiders to politics that were "TV personalities", that Trump & Zelensky both became presidents, but this superficial comparison, always bothered me, as Trump was a clownish reality TV dimwit with no acting skills that did not take his job seriously, whereas President Zelenky was a real actor that was very accomplished and popular in his TV shows that took his Presidential job seriously. A more accurate analogue would be comparing President Reagan, to President Zelensky. Both were accomplished actors that rose to the challenge in serious times. For president Reagan it was standing up to the Soviet Union with his "peace through strength" modus operandi that won the Cold War. (not "weakness through appeasement"). President Zelensky is faced with an even more real situation, as it is now "victory through strength" (we will not give in to that f'ing terrorist Putin). Secondly, it's ironic that when Biden was VP under Obama we got NOTHING, no military aid whats-so-ever and the first military aid was when Javelins were sent during the Trump administration! So, I agree with the Professor's thesis that the Pentagon advisor's kept Trump honest, the advisors were "keepin it real"....
