President-elect Donald Trump appears ready to tackle the ongoing situation in Ukraine with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. Matthew Boyle, the Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart News, recently shared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast, Triggered, that Trump is pushing for a special inspector general to investigate how the staggering amounts of American taxpayer dollars, amounting to billions, are being spent in the war-torn region. The timing couldn’t be more fitting, as just recently the U.S. dropped another whopping $900 million into the Ukrainian black hole of funding.
Trump’s frustration with the seemingly endless flow of cash to Ukraine is palpable. He points out that as long as financial support continues to pour into the country, there’s little motivation for peace talks to even begin. It seems the strategy has devolved into a dangerous game of who can make a bigger splash on the battlefield rather than seeking a resolution. Trump accurately observed that while Ukraine may celebrate minor victories, Russia seems to be steadily gaining ground, making new territorial advances with all the finesse of a bulldozer in a china shop. The irony of this situation doesn’t escape Trump as he demands accountability for every dollar spent.
Asserting that there must be a way to track how our money is being allocated, Trump underlines the need for greater transparency. Imagine a world where the government can actually account for its spending—what a novel concept! Boyle supports this idea, suggesting that new leadership at the State Department and Pentagon, like potential Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth, would ideally step up to uncover the truth about the financial abyss that Ukraine represents.

Boyle didn’t hold back when comparing the current administration’s leadership—or lack thereof—to Trump’s previous tenure. He characterized Joe Biden’s approach as wandering aimlessly, contrasting it with the robust leadership Trump displayed, particularly during high-profile meetings. The implication is clear: America once had a leader who instilled confidence globally, reminding everyone that a strong presence matters on the world stage.
For Trump, the mission to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict isn’t just a casual plan; it’s reportedly already underway. With his inauguration on the horizon, anticipation is building that peace talks may become a reality sooner rather than later. As the world watches and waits, one can only hope that accountability and diplomacy will rein in the rampant spending and chaos that has characterized the current Ukraine situation. How fitting would it be if Trump managed to turn a fiscal black hole into a diplomatic success story right out of the gate?
