In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused former US President Joe Biden of spending vast amounts of US resources by providing Ukraine with hundreds of billions of dollars and high-quality weapons, while failing to replenish domestic stockpiles.

Trump has previously described Barnum as someone who could “sell anything at any time,” regardless of its real value. The comparison was made amid ongoing political debate in the United States over the scale and consequences of support for Kyiv.
