    They’re attempting to extort Ukraine for their own personal benefit by using our tax money to do it. The worst part is that they sat around and rehearsed that shit.

      My personal theory is much darker than that: They got aggressive in the hopes that they could provoke Zelensky into talking back. So they could then clip it and use it as justification for cutting ties and handing the country to Russia. Trump is obviously acting like a Russian asset, but pulling a complete 180 on the Ukraine thing will need to be justified somehow. This was their attempt at justification.
