As you’ve probably seen by now, the Ukraine aid package finally passed out of the House yesterday amid a number of defections by conservative Republicans. Aid for Israel was approved as well.

But that wasn’t the focus for David Frum at The Atlantic. No, for Frum, this event was all about the Bad Orange Man. Since Trump had opposed the aid package, the primary takeaway at the Atlantic was that Ukraine won and “Trump lost.” This really shows where some people’s priorities are during an election season.
Ukraine won. Trump lost.
