President Trump’s recent criticism of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has created a divide within the Republican Party, with traditional conservatives standing by the war-time leader. Initially, Trump seemed supportive of Ukraine’s efforts to end the war with Russia, but has since soured on the country, blaming them for hindering peace negotiations and not allowing the U.S. access to rare earth minerals. This has caused frustration among Trump’s advisors, who believe Ukraine should comply with Trump’s demands. While Trump once promised to end the war quickly, his recent comments have shifted the blame onto Ukraine rather than Putin, causing backlash from some within the party and conservative commentators. Despite this, Trump continues to enjoy support from his base, as seen at the recent CPAC gathering, where attendees trust him to handle the situation with Ukraine. Some at the conference agreed with Trump’s criticisms of Zelenskyy, citing his cancellation of elections and perceived focus on financial gain. However, others within the party and conservative circles have criticized Trump for his stance, arguing that it aligns with Russian talking points. Overall, Trump’s recent comments have deepened the divide within the GOP between his supporters and more traditional conservatives.
