Why does Trump keep blaming Ukraine for getting invaded by Russia?

Bad, bad example Ukraine is setting.
This is also about the trade war that Trump unleashed against the whole world, demanding that everyone comes and grovels before him and “makes a deal”.
Trump doesn’t blame Ukraine for getting invaded by Russia — what he’s saying, is that Ukraine shouldn’t have defended herself, because Russia is “20 times larger”. And Trump is saying this because he wants to start invading other countries — Greenland, Panama, Canada — and he doesn’t want them to fight back. He wants them to surrender without a fight.

This just messes up all Trump’s plans.
What if all other countries realize they need to fight back?
For 3 years, Ukraine has been standing against world’s most brutal war machine — Russia. And Russia can’t break Ukraine. The Russians can’t break the Ukrainians.
This is why Ukraine that’s fighting back against mighty Russia is such a nuisance for Trump.
That’s what Trump wants.
Very bad example.
The best and most beautiful plans in the world.
Trump’s constant complaints that Ukraine “shouldn’t have started the war” mean exactly that — if a powerful country like the USA says they want your land and impose conditions, you should “negotiate a good deal” and live happily ever after.
