trump is mad Russia isn’t listening to him about Ukraine.
He thought it was a two way relationship, he didn’t understand Russia viewed it as a one way relationship.
Tucker is a piece of shit, but he understands he works for Russia and not with Russia, you can’t just fucking walk away from that relationship like trump is trying to.
Loads of his support was because Russia wanted him to be supported. If Russia yanks that away, trump can’t maintain his razor thin margins in the House and Senate, at least a handful will side with Russia over trump due to various reasons.
They’re unlikely to side with Dems, but they’ll stop anything from passing till midterms.
Like most scenarios, trump doesn’t understand the situation and is acting early which is going to fuck everything up for Republicans in the long run.

That’s the problem with Russia’s regime.
It’s still people born in the USSR with the typical Soviet person’s thinking - they say all the right things, but act differently eventually.
You can live alongside such a person for many years and think that their personality is real, but that’s because USSR’s society was created this way. It took ignorant peasants and workers and street food sellers and taught them professions requiring deeper understanding than they had, by direction, by order. That means those people just developed imitation skills of amazing quality.
Those looking like engineers and scientists can be found to covertly go to fortunetellers and be antivaxxers. Those looking like rock musicians can be found, like Kipelov, to be covertly USSR-nostalgic and conformist.
Those looking like artists with some peaceful and humanist themes, like Makarevitch, can be later found in Israel living in a mansion in place of a burnt Arab village.
And so fucking on.
So, in case of Putin, they had that appearance of scary-scary mafia or smart-smart group of deep-state-secretly-serial-murderer-ex-intelligence-KGB-patriotic-brain types, but over time their inner essence too becomes visible, as they get old. And it was all a pretense too. It’s all fake. They have killed many people, they do drugs trade, they torture people in prisons, they do everything for it to seem real, but without understanding. They just imitate the picture they saw in movies, books, gossip, of others doing it.
In fact they are a group of komsomol woodcutter team leaders or kolkhoz directors who got to a higher place than was ever intended for them. All they can is to voluntell a bunch of people to go cut trees. They have fewer and fewer people over years and they terribly mismanage the forest they have, but there are too many people and the forest is too big for them to notice. At the same time they are able to steal, which is enough for them.
They don’t really understand what diplomacy means, or what war means, or what strategy is. They don’t understand why their side of the deal should be fulfilled. They didn’t conclude that many big deals in these 30 years.
If they did, then Trump’s expectation would make perfect sense.
