Trump doesn't see the advantages of Ukraine winning against Russia in the war.

In his first visit to Capitol Hill since the insurrection in January 2021, former President Donald Trump didn't waste any time in expressing his thoughts on various issues. He met with Republican lawmakers behind closed doors, while President Joe Biden was attending the G7 Summit in Italy.

Among the topics discussed, Trump reportedly questioned the $60 billion aid package for Ukraine that was recently passed by lawmakers. Republican Rep Don Bacon shared that Trump asked, "If Ukraine wins, what will be the benefit?" However, Bacon himself saw the benefits clearly and expressed them to Trump.

The ex-president also spoke about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that Putin is "more afraid of him than Biden." According to Foreign Affairs Chair Mike McCaul, Trump even told Putin that if he attacked Ukraine, he would hit back hard.

During the meeting, Trump also touched on the controversial topic of abortion, urging House Republicans not to push for a national ban. House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that Trump advised them to "exercise your own conscience" and discuss the issue in a way that makes sense to people.

Trump also took a jab at former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling her daughter Christine a "wacko." He claimed that Christine once said that her mother and Trump would have been a perfect match if circumstances were different. However, Christine quickly denied this on social media, calling it a "lie" and stating that Trump's obsession with her mother is concerning.

The ex-president didn't hold back in expressing his disbelief over pop star Taylor Swift's endorsement of Joe Biden in the 2020 election. He questioned, "Why would she endorse this dope?" and criticized Biden's stage presence.

Despite all the controversial discussions, Trump also promised to work towards expanding the GOP's majority in the House. Republican lawmakers even welcomed him by singing Happy Birthday, as he turned 78 the following day.
