BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his cozying up to Vladimir Putin.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump’s skin…
“I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be,” Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. “The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?”
“How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?” he asked.
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
“The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily,” wrote Branson. “How much worse can it get?”
“If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for,” he continued. “All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus.”
“Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes,” Branson concluded.
Do you Believe that Trump is Putin’s puppet?!
