Trump deflects on Russian strikes with whataboutism

Asked about Russia hitting 6 Ukrainian energy sites yesterday, Trump's answer: "Well, Ukraine hit many sites the day before." That's not evidence. That's a distraction. When pressed on Russian actions, he pivots to what Ukraine did. Standard play: muddy the record, make it sound equivalent, pretend the scale doesn't matter. Ukraine's energy strikes are retaliatory. Russia's are the pattern. But Trump treats them like a moral scorecard where both sides cancel each other out. They don't.
