    Oh it’s quite simple. Trump’s opinions are largely based on the last person he talked to. He agrees to all sorts of shit when talking to people because he’s easily manipulated and always wants to boast about something he “negotiated”.

    Zelensky is using that to his advantage, knowing fully that Trump is a Russian lapdog, so he has to get agreements with Trump going quickly and constantly renegotiated because that’s how he can undermine Putin’s manipulations.
