Mark Levin, one of President Trump’s staunchest allies, just broke ranks with him over Ukraine, and the establishment is eating it up. On his show Wednesday, Levin fired back at Trump’s recent takedown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, warning the 45th president that “MAGA doesn’t support Putin.”
Levin’s comments came after Trump called out Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections” who has mismanaged the war while siphoning off American taxpayer dollars. Levin wasn’t having it. He defended Zelenskyy’s decision to suspend elections under martial law, insisting that Ukraine’s constitution required it. He also pushed back on Trump’s claim that Zelenskyy’s approval has plummeted, citing a poll that puts him at 57% approval—conveniently ignoring how corrupt regimes manufacture polls to keep the Western money flowing.
The Fox News host took a swipe at Putin, too, questioning why the Russian leader is demanding Ukraine hold elections while not allowing real elections in his own country. That part might be true, but Levin’s selective outrage is hard to ignore. How many years did Zelenskyy promise elections before suddenly deciding they were impossible?
Levin’s remarks weren’t just a personal critique—they were a warning shot to Trump. He made it clear he believes Trump can end the war but urged him not to let Putin win. It’s the same line we’ve heard from the military-industrial complex for years—keep the war machine rolling, keep the billions flowing to Ukraine, and never question where the money actually goes.
Levin wasn’t the only one pushing back. Congressional Republicans started piling on, with Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) rushing to defend Zelenskyy. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) even went on CNN (of course) to tell America that Trump “needs a do-over” on his Ukraine stance. Funny how the people who have never held Biden accountable for sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine without oversight are suddenly clutching their pearls over Trump calling out the grift.
What’s really happening here? The Uniparty is panicking. Trump’s refusal to play along with the pro-Ukraine script is exposing just how desperate Washington is to keep the gravy train running. And for the first time, even some so-called conservatives are siding with the regime over America First.
