Is that not the point of why putin made trump president?

I feel like just saying this carries the chance of Donald Trump personally reading it and doing it if only to use it in some speech like "the losers in Ukraine, they say they can't do it without our money, can't do it folks. They say I can't cut their money but I'm cutting it, I'm cutting the money to the [hard T] Ukraine, they can't do it without us so I say they can't do it folks."

I fail to see the downside
