After the Ukrainian phone call got him his first impeachment, Trump detests the nation and Zelenskyy. Not to mention he's so busy fellating Putin that he won't consider America's own national interest.
We don’t really know who and what Mr. Donald Trump is:
There is a book by someone called Régis Gente (which I didn’t read yet) in which it is speculated that the KGB started to invest in several personalities since the late 70’s it saw as potentially “influential men” in 30, 40, 50 years’ time. The book has not been translated to other languages yet but Russia specialists are talking a lot about this book in the French-speaking world:

Yes. It's possible Trump is a KGB asset. There's also the possibility of kompromat on him. None of that obviates my point, that Trump will not support Ukraine; in fact, you're supporting it.

Certainly possible, but unlikely. Russia is losing 1500 men per day right now, and are so desperate for manpower that they're hiring North Korean meat puppets.

Agreed.

This is not the generation of the 1930’s. We are still a generation which has been numbed by consumerist values and is unable to react quickly in the face of existential threats lie Climate Change. 20th century Americans would not elect someone with many legal issues on his back like Donald Trump. If Watergate had happened today, Nixon supporters would write posts on Twitter defending Nixon’s dishonest actions etc.
The folks in the thirties here in America formed fascist leagues and tried their level best to stay out of a war that if the two antagonists had won would have seen 1.5 billion people enslaved. Let's not engage in Greatest Generation mythology.

Going back to the 90’s, I can still remember how Bill Clinton’s oral-sex scandal had almost pushed him to resignation.
So we might simply have to wait and see. The choice of the American people has to be respected. But I still believe that if Kamala was a man she would probably have won this election.
She was still the wrong color, and Trump has given the American racist permission to be unhidden.
